Filling out a job application, and I have a seemingly stupid question to ask.

Sorry to sound so uninformed here, guys, but can you please clarify to me what I can list under “Other Job Related Training” in this application I am filling out? I have had extensive administrative experience with one company for 5 years (hence the lack of ‘not knowing what to put in’), and am inclined to list my proficiency in computer programs, typing accuracy, etc, but would like some input before I do so =). Oh, the application is for an administrative position with a police department.

Thanks in advance for your advice! =)

Your inclinations seem correct. I would likely list those as well as specific achievements and skills you have acquired throughout your years in an office environment…? :)

To me when I employ someone, Other Job Related Training is in references to any structured courses you followed while you were working to gain job-related skills. Some companies will provide training for particular software they are introducing, others will send their employees on safety training courses, etc. Hope this is useful to you.
