Hello Everyone!!
Today is Chapter 1
Last week I discussed the definition
and structure of a application letter
APPLICATION LETTER
Application Letter or often referred to as a cover letter. An application letter is a document used to apply for a job.
This letter is usually accompanied by a resume containing additional information regarding the applicant's abilities and work experience.
Detailed format for making Application Letter
1. Heading
In the heading, you can write detailed information about your identity. Like the name, the full address includes the city, province and zip code, telephone number and email.
2. Subject
When applying for jobs online, you must write in the subject section the job being applied for along with your name.
3. Greetings
Start writing the application letter with a greeting or greeting. For example Dr / Mr / Mrs. But if you don't know the name of the recruiter, you can write Deaing hiring manager.
4. Body of Letter
The first paragraph can explain why you wrote the letter. Mention the job you are applying for and where you found the job vacancy
5. Signature
Signature on the application letter in polite language such as regards or sincerely. Then add a signature followed by a clear name.
What to include
At the top ↑:
Name and address of company / organisation you are applying to
The date, eg. 26 September 2016
A formal greeting using the appropriate title and name of the addressee, e.g. Dear Ms Smith, NOT Dear Sarah. It is always best to address your letter to a specific person. If the name is not provided in the job ad, phone the organisation and ask receptions for the name and title of the addressee. Use Mr/Ms if you are unsure of the title, not Mrs/Miss. Use ‘Dear Sir/Madam’ only if you are unable to find out.
A heading with reference to the job under application, e.g. Re: Application for [name of position], reference number (if applicable)
At the bottom ↓:
An appropriate 'sign-off', e.g. Yours faithfully,
Your name and contact details (address, phone number(s), email address)
Structure
An application letter can be structured into 3 parts:
Introduction
The beginning of your application letter should include:
The position you are applying for
Where you saw the job advertisement
A sentence or 2 about why you think you are a great fit for the role and the organisation
Body
The body of the application letter is where you 'sell yourself. It should address the key requirements stated in the job ad, describing how you have the required qualifications, knowledge, skills and experience.
Identify keywords, phrases and skills mentioned in the ad and focus on emphasising your strengths in these areas. It isn't necessary to include everything mentioned in the job ad. Instead, focus on three to five of the most important elements.
Points to remember:
Keep to one theme per paragraph and support your claims with examples.
Write persuasively
Explain why you are interested in the position or working for the company / organisation
State the value you will bring to the position
Identify how your achievements and skills qualify you for the role
Conclusion
At the end of the letter:
Refer to any attached documentation, including your resume
Express interest in further discussing your application and the available position in an interview
Indicate your availability for an interview and your contact details
Sign off with with 'Yours sincerely' (or 'Yours faithfully' if you addressed the application to Dear Sir/Madam)
