An employment questionnaire is used
by employers to evaluate their prospective employees’ ability just before they
are assigned duties or taken through other interview exercises. The details
given by the prospective employees are important in revealing their performance
since the employment questionnaires are archived for future reference, and they
can be invoked in case the employee fails to perform as stated in some
questions. In most cases, employment questionnaires are kept in active status
for a period of three months from the date they are received from job
applicants. This emphasizes their importance to job applicants. Below is a
sample employment questionnaire for the law firm of DEWEY, CHEATEM & HOWE with well thought out answers.
