APPLICATION LETTERS

                                                 

                                                 APPLICATION LETTERS

Definition:

A letter of application or an application letter, also known as a cover letter, is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience.

A letter of application typically provides detailed information on why are you are qualified for the job you are applying for. Effective application letters explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and identify your most relevant skills or experiences.

When do you write an application letter?

We use an application letter when you want to apply for a job or you are interested in an special job or company.

What is the structure of an application letter?

When we need to write an application letter we should include:

First Paragraph: Why you are writing - mention the job you are applying for and where you found the listing.

Middle Paragraph(s): What you have to offer the employer - mention why your skills and experience are a good fit for the job.

Last Paragraph: Say thank you to the hiring manager for considering you and note how you will follow up.

Write 5 important TIPS for writing application letters:

1. Personalize your letter as much as possible.

2. Get feedback from an independent person.

3. try to create a typed hard copy or electronic applications.

4. Make sure you observe business letter writing conventions – left hand justified, open punctuation, clear, concise, readable – and of course, NO spelling or grammar errors! This is a formal letter.

5. Keep your application letter to one page maximum and only from three to four paragraphs.
