(1) The name and home address of the person.
(2) The previous employment history of the person.

(5) Evidence of the offer of employment and the nature and scope of the proposed duties of the person, if known.
(6) The details of any occupation permit or similar license granted or denied to the applicant in other jurisdictions and consent for the board to obtain copies of applications submitted or permits or licenses issued in connection therewith.
(7) Any other information determined by the board to be appropriate.
