Hello everyone, I'd be very thankful if someone cleared up a couple of questions about the online application.
1. I don't have a fax number, but the the file shows an error if I put N/A. Should I leave it blank?

2. Employment for the last 10 years: as I am in my early 20-s, 10 years ago I was studying at school, and after the graduation of the university I had only one job which is my current occupation as well. The application has 3 fields to put the info in, can it be like that: 1) current occupation 2) a couple of months months "unemployed" 3) university student? Is that okay if it doesn't describe the whole 10 years period?

3. Describing my current occupation, it wants to fill in time period. From, for example 2014.06 to ...? If I still work there and have the workplace after my vacation, what should I write, should I leave it blank too?

Thank you

To answer your questions:

1. Since the application form is designed to accept only numbers, it will show error when you write N/A since its not in numeric format. Leave the field blank and after printing the form, write N/A with Black Pen. Its advisable not to leave any field blank!

2. Its totally fine if you don't describe the entire 10year period coz obviously you don't have a whole lot to mention. They will know that you are only in your 20s the moment they see your DoB. If they've asked you to talk about your employment history, then just mention that alone. No need to write about gaps or previous student status! Just type your current employment status.

3. No, you shouldn't leave anything blank. That's the golden rule. Just type the FROM date, print the application and then write PRESENT in the TO field (with pen). Its as simple as that :)

Good luck!

Thank you, but is printing, signing something by hand and scanning permitted when I apply online?
