Article Structure

Applying for a position at Howard Industries involves completing a thorough employment application designed to gather vital information about prospective candidates. This form not only solicits personal details such as your name, address, and contact information but also requires applicants to disclose their work authorization status and age. Given that the company prioritizes equal opportunities, questions about any felony convictions are included to assess eligibility without discrimination. The application also queries previous interactions with the company, whether through prior applications or employment, as this background information can be relevant in determining fit. Candidates must specify the position they are applying for, their availability for part-time or full-time work, and salary expectations. The form further delves into educational history, offering space to detail qualifications, coursework, and relevant training experiences. Additionally, an employment history section allows applicants to describe roles they have previously held, including job responsibilities and reasons for leaving. As a crucial part of the application process, providing references who can vouch for job qualifications is also necessary. Overall, this comprehensive application reflects Howard Industries' commitment to fair hiring practices and ensures that all interested candidates have the opportunity to present their skills and experiences in a structured manner.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT

PURPOSE

This statement affirms the Company's policy of non-discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, status as a Vietnam-era or special disabled veteran, or status in any group protected by federal, state, or local law.

POLICY

Howard Industries maintains a policy of non-discrimination in all phases of employment and complies in full with all applicable laws. The Company will continuously monitor its performance in these basic areas and take action where necessary to comply with applicable requirements.

This policy applies to all areas of employment including recruiting, advertising, hiring, transferring, training and development, termination, layoff, compensation and benefits, social and recreational programs and all other conditions and privileges of employment in accordance with applicable federal, state and local laws.

It is the policy of Howard Industries to comply with all relevant and applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Howard Industries will not discriminate against any qualified employee or job applicant with respect to terms, privileges, or conditions of employment because of a person’s physical or mental disability.

Howard Industries will also make reasonable accommodations wherever necessary for all employees or applicants with disabilities, provided that the individual is otherwise qualified to safely perform the duties and assignments connected with the job, and provided that any accommodations made do not require significant difficulty or expense.

Equal employment opportunity notices are posted at our work sites as required by law. The notices summarize the rights of employees to equal opportunity in employment and list the names and addresses of various government agencies that may be contacted in the event that any person believes he or she has been discriminated against.

Management is primarily responsible for seeing that Howard Industries’ equal employment opportunity policies are implemented, but all members of the staff share in the responsibility for assuring that by their personal actions, the policies are effective and apply uniformly to everyone. Any employee, including managers, involved in discriminatory practices will be subject to discharge.

Please Read Carefully Before Signing This Form

1.All information contained in this application is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief. I understand that misrepresentations or omissions of any kind may result in denial of employment or be cause for subsequent dismissal if I am hired. Regardless of when such information is discovered.

2.I authorize the company to investigate my responses on this application and contact any or all of my former employers or any individuals familiar with me or my employment background for the purpose of verifying any information I have provided and/or for the purpose of obtaining any information, whether favorable or unfavorable, about me or my employment. I voluntarily and knowingly fully release and hold harmless any person or organization that provides information pertaining to me, or my employment.

3.I understand that upon receiving a job offer, a background check and drug screening may be required. (Note: If this is a job requirement, you will be notified.)

4.Regardless of whether or not I become employed by the company, I recognize that this application is not and should not be considered a contract of employment. I understand that employment at the company is on an at-will basis and that my employment may be terminated with or without cause, and without notice, at any time, at my option or the company’s, unless specifically provided otherwise in a written employment contract. I further understand that no company employee or representative has the authority to enter into a contract regarding duration or terms and conditions of employment other than an officer or official of the company, and then only by means of a signed, written document.

CONSENT AND DISCLOSURE

I understand that Howard Industries will utilize the services of the Manufacturers' Association, 2171 West 38th Street, Erie, Pa. 16508 (MANP) as part of the procedure for processing my application for employment. I also understand that if my application for employment is granted, Howard Industries may obtain further information through subsequent investigations by the MANP so as to update, renew or extend my employment, to the extent permitted by law.

I understand a consumer reporting agency’s investigation may include obtaining information regarding bankruptcies covering up to the last ten (10) years, obtaining information regarding civil suits, civil judgments, arrest records and paid tax liens covering up to the last seven (7) years, obtaining information regarding any other adverse item of information covering up to the last seven (7) years and obtaining information regarding references and educational and employment verifications without any time limitations, subject to any limitations or exceptions applicable under state and federal law. The investigation may also include obtaining information relating to criminal records without any time limitations, subject to state law.

In the event an investigative consumer report is conducted, I understand such information may be obtained by personal interviews with my acquaintances or associates or with others whom I am acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning my character, general reputation, personal characteristics or standard of living. I understand such information may also be obtained through direct or indirect contact with former employers, schools, financial institutions, landlords and public agencies or other persons who may have such knowledge.

I understand that I have the right to receive notice about the nature and scope of any investigative consumer report requested within five days after Howard Industries receives my request or five days after the investigative consumer report was requested, whichever is later.

OBy filling in this circle, I indicate that I wish to receive further disclosure about the nature and scope of any Howard Industries request for an investigative consumer report.

I acknowledge that I have received the attached summary of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I also understand that before I am denied employment based, in whole or part, on information obtained in the consumer report and/or investigative consumer report, I will be provided a copy of the report and a description in writing of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I understand if I disagree with the accuracy of any information in the report, I must notify Howard Industries within five business days of my receipt of the report that I am challenging the accuracy of the information contained in this report with MANP and advise Howard Industries as to the basis of my challenge.

In exchange for consideration by Howard Industries of my employment application, I agree not to file or pursue any complaints, claims or legal actions of any kind against MANP for providing the aforementioned information. I also agree not to file or pursue any complaints, claims or legal actions against Howard Industries or any of its employees, representatives or agents arising out of or in any way related to conducting a background investigation.

I am consenting that a photocopy of this authorization be accepted with the same authority as the original, and I specifically waive any written notice from any entity, which may provide information based on this authorized request.

I hereby consent to this investigation and authorize Howard Industries to procure a consumer report and/or investigative consumer report on my background as stated above from MANP. In order to verify my identity for purposes of the background investigation, I am voluntarily releasing my date of birth, social security number and other information below for my own benefit and fully understand that all employment decisions are based on legitimate non-discriminatory reasons.

A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell information about check writing histories, medical records and rental history records). Here is a summary of our major rights under the FCRA. For more information, including information about additional rights, go to http://www.ftc.gov/credit or write to: Consumer Response Center, Room 130-A, Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580.

You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses a credit report or another type of consumer report to deny your application for credit, insurance or employment – or to take another adverse action against you – must tell you, and must give you the name, address and phone number of the agency that provided the information.

You have the right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the information about you in the files of a consumer-reporting agency (your “file disclosure”). You will be required to provide proper identification, which may include your Social Security number. In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You are entitled to a free file disclosure if:

o a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit report; o you are the victim of identity theft and place a fraud alert in your file;

o your file contains inaccurate information as a result of fraud; o you are on public assistance;

o you are unemployed but expect to apply for employment within 60 days.

In addition, by September 2005, all consumers will be entitled to one free disclosure every 12 months upon request from each nationwide credit bureau and from nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies. See http://www.ftc.gov/credit for additional information.

You have the right to ask for a credit score. Credit scores are numerical summaries of your credit-worthiness based on information from credit bureaus. You may request a credit score from consumer reporting agencies that create scores or distribute scores used in residential real property loans, but you will have to pay for it. In some mortgage transactions, you will receive credit score information for free from the mortgage lender.

You have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and report it to the consumer-reporting agency, the agency must investigate unless your dispute is frivolous. See http://www.ftc.gov/credit for an explanation of dispute procedures.

Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information. Inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information must be removed or corrected, usually within 30 days. However, a consumer reporting agency may continue to report information it has verified as accurate.

Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most cases, a consumer-reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than seven years old or bankruptcies that are more than 10 years old.

Access to your file is limited. A consumer-reporting agency may provide information about you only to people with a

valid need – usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord or other business. The FCRA specifies those with a valid need for access.

You must give your consent for reports to be provided to employers. A consumer-reporting agency may not give out information about you to your employer, or a potential employer, without your written consent given to the employer. Written consent generally is not required in the trucking industry. For more information, go to www.ftc.gov/credit.

You may limit “prescreened” offers of credit and insurance you get based on information in your credit report. Unsolicited “prescreened” offers for credit and insurance must include a toll-free phone number you can call if you choose to remove your name and address from the lists these offers are based on. You may opt-out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688).

You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or, in some cases, a user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency, violates the FCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.

Identity theft victims and active duty military personnel have additional rights. For more information, visit www.ftc.gov/credit.

States may enforce the FCRA, and many states have their own consumer reporting laws. In some cases, you may have more rights under state law. For more information, contact your state or local consumer protection agency or your state Attorney General. Federal enforcers are:

What You Should Know About This Form

What is the purpose of the Howard Industries Application Form?

The application form serves as a necessary tool for Howard Industries to collect information about potential employees. It gathers essential details including personal information, job history, educational background, and references. By ensuring that applicants complete the entire form, Howard Industries aims to evaluate candidates fairly and thoroughly for employment opportunities. The form emphasizes that Howard Industries is an Equal Opportunity Employer, making it clear that discrimination will not occur based on race, gender, disability, or other protected characteristics.

What should I do if I have a felony conviction?

If you have a felony conviction, you are required to disclose certain details on the application. Specifically, you should explain the nature of the crime, the date of conviction, and the state where you were convicted. Remember, the presence of a felony conviction does not automatically disqualify you from employment with Howard Industries. Each application is reviewed on a case-by-case basis. The company values honesty and openness, and it's crucial to address your past accurately.

Do I need to provide references, and what kind should I list?

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you submit your application, Howard Industries will review its contents. If your qualifications meet their needs, you may be contacted for an interview. Be aware that a background check and possibly a drug screening might be required if you receive a job offer. Throughout this process, Howard Industries emphasizes transparency and communication, keeping you informed about any necessary steps that follow your application submission.

Common mistakes

Completing the Howard Industries Application form can be straightforward, but many applicants make common mistakes that can complicate the process. Recognizing these errors can improve your chances of making a good impression. Here are eight mistakes to avoid.

Several people overlook the importance of providing complete and accurate personal information. This includes not only your name and address but also your Social Security number and contact details. Missing or incorrect information can lead to delays in processing your application or even disqualification from consideration.

Another frequent error is failing to verify your eligibility to work in the United States. If you answer the authorization question incorrectly, it could raise red flags with the employer. Be sure to answer truthfully and understand the ramifications of your response, especially concerning work permits if you are under 18.

Applicants often leave the felony conviction question unanswered or, conversely, provide excessive information. It's essential to indicate whether you have been convicted of a felony and to keep your explanation concise yet informative. Remember, only disclose relevant details about convictions that are not expunged or sealed.

In completing previous employment history, many individuals neglect to include all relevant jobs. This section is crucial for assessing your experience. Be thorough and provide as much information as possible about your past employment, including job titles, duties, and reasons for leaving.

Inadequate attention to detail is another pitfall. Some applicants skip the section about references or provide names that are not helpful. Choose individuals who can accurately vouch for your work-related skills and qualifications. Avoid friends or relatives, as this can negatively impact your application.

Salary expectation can also trip applicants up; providing a number that is too high or too low can deter hiring managers. Research industry standards before entering this information to ensure it is competitive yet realistic.

Applicants sometimes struggle with the special skills section. It's common to overlook this opportunity to highlight relevant skills such as software proficiency or machine operation experience. This section can set you apart from other candidates, so make sure to include any applicable skills.

Lastly, make sure to carefully read the application before signing. Misunderstandings about your rights or responsibilities can result from not fully understanding what you are agreeing to. Taking the time to read the fine print ensures that you are fully informed about the implications of your application.

Misconceptions

There are several misconceptions surrounding the Howard Industries Application form. Understanding these can help applicants navigate the application process more effectively. Below are ten common misconceptions and clarifications regarding them.

  1. All felony convictions result in automatic disqualification. Many applicants believe that having a felony conviction will immediately disqualify them from employment. In fact, the application explicitly states that a conviction will not necessarily bar employment.
  2. You do not need to complete the entire application. Some applicants think they can skip sections of the form. However, it is crucial to complete the entire application to be considered for a position.
  3. The application guarantees a job offer. Many assume submitting an application automatically leads to a job offer. This is not true; the application is just the first step in the hiring process.
  4. Your employment history is not important. Some applicants downplay their previous jobs, thinking they won’t be scrutinized. However, your employment history significantly impacts the evaluation process.
  5. Only certain types of references are allowed. It is commonly misunderstood that relatives and friends can serve as references. However, the application specifies that references should be individuals familiar with your job qualifications, excluding personal friends or relatives.
  6. You don’t have to provide a salary expectation. Some applicants believe they can omit this information. However, indicating a desired salary helps employers understand your expectations and budget.
  7. Only professional education matters. Many think that only degrees from universities count. The application allows for recognition of any relevant training courses, which should not be overlooked.
  8. The application form is complicated. Many perceive the form as overly complex. While it does ask for a range of information, it is important for a thorough evaluation and can be completed with careful attention.
  9. Age information is not necessary. Some applicants feel uncomfortable disclosing their age. However, verifying age is essential to meet legal requirements for employment.
  10. The application is binding. Many applicants fear that submitting their application creates a binding contract. In reality, the application indicates that it is not a contract of employment, allowing for at-will employment terms.

Being aware of these misconceptions can empower applicants during the application process and help them present their qualifications effectively.

Filling out the Howard Industries Application form is a critical step in the employment process. Here are some essential takeaways to keep in mind:
