I am applying to a Estate Agency job.

the ad says "All Aplications in writing only to......."

does this mean hand writen only?

AFAIK it means don't go in - drop in a covering letter and your CV

ScarySquirrel · 2 Apr 2006 at 17:08

I think they mean there is no application form, so you have to send in a CV in the post to them, whether its handwritten or not is irrellivent i think. However i could be wrong

It means that applications (covering letter / cv / etc) has to be in hard copy form - that is printed or written.

Not by e-mail, telephone etc...

I've never seen one ask for one, the preference is always a typed up version.

Printed would be prefered by almost all companys. Why? Some peoples hand writing is hard to read, its also clearer and easier to read, in turn making it quicker getting through the thousands of CV's.
