Which writing style should be used in filling out a job or college application? friendly and open so they know you’re nice formal and impersonal because it’s an application humorous so they can see you’ll be fun one similar to the style of the application

When writing to get a job or college application, you should be totally honest. Like, raely put a joke or anything "funny" in it. Because when you fill these out, whatever you put in them, has to be true. Ex: Because, for one, if you get to the job/college, and can't do what you said you could do in the application. Your gonna get fired, or kicked out of college(maybe). It would be very embarrassing, and you could loose whatever you had.

I hope this makes sense, and I hope it helps!! Good luck ;)

The style that should be used in filling out a job or college application is formal and impersonal because it’s an application .

When writing a letter to be sent to a potential employer, you should be really polite. For instance, a polite greeting which is the most common salutation is "Dear Mr./Ms." followed by the person's last name. Furthermore, you should sign off your email with a polite close, such as "Best" or "Sincerely," followed by your name.
