Instructions for Completing the On-Line Application
Complete each of the items and select the “Submit” button at the end of this application. For pull-down menu answers (i.e., the boxes that have a small black arrow pointing down on the right side of the white box), select the down arrow with your cursor and then select the appropriate answer. For fill in the blank answers (i.e., the white boxes without a small black arrow pointing down on the right side), place your cursor in the box, click the right mouse button and type in the requested information.
Unless otherwise specified in the instructions for a question, all items must be completed. Applications that do not have all of the items completed as directed will not be processed.
Finally, please make certain that your “Caps Lock” key is not engaged so that every letter you type is not in capital letters (i.e., JOHN DOE). Instead, type with the “Caps Lock” key off, and use the “Shift” key for initial capital letters as would be expected for normal typing (examples of proper use of capital letters: John Doe, Fargo Elevator Company, and TX for the proper abbreviation of Texas, etc.).
An asterisk (*) at the end of a fill in the blank question means that an answer is required for the respective question. Also, a response is required for a pull-down menu labeled “Must Make a Selection.”
