Reusable Materials 33: Additional Uses for Reusable Master Applications

Thursdays we discuss how reusable materials help you WOW committees and save time

Corinne met with our staff multiple times to apply for scholarships. She prepared her master application  over several weeks. She looked up all the addresses to past employers, schools, and references. She also perfected the spelling, grammar, and wording of her answers to make them more impressive. She also used her master application to apply to colleges and jobs. Her master application impressed people so well that she was accepted to every school she applied to, and three jobs while she was in school.

In review, your master application consists of three parts:

• Part A: contains the answers to almost every question you will find on a scholarship, employment, or admissions application
• Part B: includes copies of school transcripts, lists of awards and competitions in which you participated, recitals or theater presentations in which you performed, and other activities
• Part C: describes the themes in your life using value statements to outline your accomplishments and contributions to organizations

In  previous posts, we identified several ways that you can use your master application. They included:

• School admission forms
• Online employment applications
• Resumes and cover letters
• Gas, electric, water, sewer, telephone, and other utility applications
• Work performance appraisal
• Professional profiles on LinkedIn, company documents, and professional associations
