WHAT IS APLICATION LATTER?

A job application letter, also known as a cover

letter, should be sent or uploaded with your
cv/resume when applying for jobs. While your
resume offers a history of your work experience
and an outline of your skills and
accomplishments, the job application letter you
send to an employer explains why you are
qualified for the position and should be selected
for an interview.
 MATTERS THAT MUST BE INCLUDED IN THE
JOB APPLICATION LETTER

1. Mention source of application

2. Complete self identification of applicants
(name, place and date of birth, contact etc)
3. The desired position
4. Education history
5. Job history (if any)
6. Other abilities possessed
7. Reference
COMMON APPLICATION LETTER MISTAKES

 Unintentionally writing a generic application letter: If you only talk about yourself
and your skills without matching them to the employer’s needs, your letter will
come off as generic.
 Too dependent on spell check: If your letter gets sent out with typos that spell
check can’t see, you’ll make a poor first impression the opposite of everything
you’re trying to do.
 Too long: As you can see from application letter samples, your application letter
should never be more than one page long. The white space between the
paragraphs is easy on the eyes of the recipient, and a brief letter shows focus and
prioritization.
WHAT TO INCLUDE IN EACH SECTION OF THE LETTER?

1. Heading: A letter of application should begin with both your and the employer's
contact information (name, address, phone number, email) followed by the date.
If this is an email rather than an actual letter, include your contact information at
the end of the letter, after your signature.
2. Header Examples, This is your polite greeting. The most common salutation is
"Dear Mr./Ms." followed by the person's last name. Find out more about
appropriate cover letter salutations, including what to do if you don't know the
person's name, or are unsure of a contact's gender.
3. Body of the letter: Think of this section as being three distinct parts.n the first
paragraph, you'll want to mention the job you are applying for and where you saw
the job listing.This is where you'll share those relevant details on your experience
and accomplishments.
4. last part of the body of the letter will be your thank you to the employer; you can
also offer follow-up information.
5. Complimentary Close: Sign off your email with a polite close, such as "Best" or
"Sincerely," followed by your name.
6. Closing Examples, End with your signature, handwritten, followed by your typed
name. If this is an email, simply include your typed name, followed by your
contact information.
