Steve Jobs: Apple founder's 1973 job application going on sale

The questionnaire, filled out by Jobs three years before starting the company that would make him billions, is riddled with spelling errors.

The one-page document shows Jobs' aspirations in technology before breaking into the industry.

He listed his special abilities as 'electronics tech or design engineer' and said 'yes' he understood computers.

It is not known what the application was for, nor whether Jobs was successful.

He wrote his name as 'Steven jobs' and his address as 'reed college', the school he attended briefly in Portland, Oregon before dropping out.

On the form, Jobs responded 'yes' to having a driving licence but when asked if he had access to a car he wrote 'possible, but not probable'.

Next to 'Phone' the creator of the iPhone wrote 'none'.

Jobs died of cancer at age 56 in 2011.
