Apply in writing???? Help

I am really out of date and wondered does "apply in writing" actually mean in your own handwriting otr do they accept we all have PC's these days?

I am googling for ideas on how to draft it. Oh i hate this and the closing date is tomorrow so I will have to hand deliver it.

I think it means submit typed CV, typed supporting info relating to the vacancy and maybe a brief handwritten covering letter so they can see you can actually write (seriously)

go through the skills they require, and indicate why you'd be the best person for this job. keep cv down to one side of A4

I was hoping the letter would be typed not hand written, surely not please.

My CV is 2 sides of A4, I don't know how I could possibly get it on to 1 side, especially as this job requires skills from various jobs I have had and I want to mention all the traing I have had that is relevent. Will they bin me if it is 2 sides?
