Extra Information:
Application Forms: The application forms are fillable PDFs again but we have had them redesigned and do not expect the same issues as last year. No electronic signature is required, just the applicant typing their name into the box. The boxes are also bigger and can fit the required words and be printed.
In regards to using Macs there is apparently a limitation with the technology. Our designers have said that Mac users can download fixes from http://www.macshareware.com/software/save_fillable_pdf_forms. However, we have had someone test this on a Mac and while it did work, their suggestion is to have applicants complete the form on a PC.
Just a tip: get your applicants to save the form first before entering any information.
