To sign *apply*, form an 'F' handshape with your dominant hand, keeping your index finger and thumb touching while your other three fingers remain extended. Bring your hand to your upper chest on your dominant side and pinch the fabric of your shirt. Gently pull the shirt forward a couple of times.
Use the shirt-pulling sign for 'apply' to indicate submitting an application or putting yourself forward for a professional position.
This sign works perfectly for school and university applications as well. Remember to raise your eyebrows while signing to indicate a yes/no question.
The sign for 'apply' is actually the exact same sign used for 'volunteer', making it very versatile for contexts where you are offering your time or services.

Yes! The sign where you pinch and pull your shirt with an 'F' handshape is used interchangeably for both 'apply' (for a job or role) and 'volunteer'. It essentially means to offer yourself for a position.
No, this sign is specifically for applying for a job, school, or position. For applying a physical substance like lotion or paint, you would use a rubbing or spreading motion to mimic the actual real-world action.
You should generally pinch the shirt on your dominant side, near your upper chest or collarbone area, using your dominant hand. It feels most natural and keeps the sign clear.
