Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employers look for unexplained gaps in employment, so providing information regarding why gaps exist will prevent discarding of the application. Many employers will not interview applicants unless all questions on the application have been answered. Writing in "Will explain" is preferable to leaving a blank. Never falsify an application. Be honest with the number of jobs held in the past year and give reasons for leaving. It is unwise to answer questions about wage requirements by inflating current salary by 20%.
