## Filling in Forms 

## 10 

Filling in forms is something we all have to do for all sorts of reasons. Some are straightforward. Others are more com- plicated. For whatever reason we have to fill in a form, it is important that it is legible and that all the information that is required is clearly set out. If it is difficult to type in the information, it is a good idea to print it so that the recipient can read it easily. 

## WORKING ONLINE 

Today, much form filling can be done online although the forms will follow a similar pattern to the ‘paper’ ones. 

## PROVIDING THE BASIC INFORMATION 

## Doing market research 

Market researchers who send out forms to a sample of people usually require you either to tick boxes or to answer specific questions. The only personal details they might require are your age bracket, your sex, your type of living accommodation, whether you are employed and your salary bracket. These are the easiest forms to fill in although they often look daunting at first because they sometimes consist of several pages. (See example in Figure 6.)
