GLLS Employment Application
STATEMENT OF POLICY: EMPLOYMENT WITH GREAT LAKES LANDSCAPE SUPPLY COMPANY IS BASED ON
INDIVIDUAL MERIT. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES ARE OPEN TO ALL, WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE,
COLOR, SEX, AGE, MARITAL STATUS, HEIGHT, WEIGHT, RELIGION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, HANDICAP OR
VETERAN STATUS.
Instructions to Applicant: The careful and thoughtful completion of this application is an important step in our consideration of
individuals for employment. Therefore, you must complete the entire application. If you do not, you will not be considered for
employment. Your application must also specify the position you are applying for; stating that you will do “anything” is too indefinite
and will result in your application not being accepted by the Company.
Please be further advised that your application will go into our active file for 60 business days from the date of application. In order
for you to keep your application current it will be necessary for you to inform our personnel office in writing, prior to the expiration of
the 60 day period that you wish to remain on the Company’s active applicant list. If, at the end of the 60 day period, we have not
received written notice from you, your name will be taken off the active applicant list and you will not be considered for employment
when a vacancy occurs. Should you contact the Company after the 60 day period has expired, you will be treated as a new applicant.
The application provides information which enables us to determine whether an applicant has the interests, background and experience
to be given additional consideration for employment. In most cases, circumstances will prevent a preliminary interview; therefore, the
conscientious completion of this form is necessary inasmuch as it will supply much of the information normally covered in such a
session.
At the appropriate time you will be required to establish your citizenship or, if not a citizen, your eligibility for employment. Please
print in ink and use your own handwriting. Use the space on the last page to clarify any response or, if desired, tell us anything else
about yourself you believe relevant.
After you have read these instructions and prior to leaving the Company’s personnel office or facilities, please ask the personnel
person or manager any questions that you may have. He/she will be happy to answer them for you.
