APPLICATION LETTER

 

Definition: A letter of application, 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 writing an application letter you 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.

The purpose of a job application

 To improve your chances of being called for an interview, by convincing the reader that you would be the best person for the job. If your letter is poorly written, the reader will not likely take the time to look at your resume

Expressions / Sentences

·        Be direct. In these opening sentences, you want to explicitly let the reader know which position you're applying for. Hiring managers are often looking at candidates for several open jobs at any given time. Make sure it's easy for them to discover your intent.

·        Mention a contact. If someone referred you to the position, include that information early on as well. Referrals are one of the key aspects to securing an interview, so be sure to mention yours right away.

·        State an accomplishment. Try to state an accomplishment from your previous job. If you can, show how you added value to the last company you worked for. You might even add the job title you had if it's similar to the one you are applying for.

·        Express excitement. Convey your passion for your work, and your excitement about the job and company. Your cover letter is an opportunity to sell yourself to the hiring manager, and to share why you're well qualified for the job.

·        Use keywords. If you can include any keywords from the job listing, do so. You can mention a skill you have that was included in the post.
