APPLICATION LETTER
When you apply for a job, you have to write a job application letter to present yourself for the available job. The letter that you write should be taken as an opportunity to bring your relevant experiences and qualifications to the prospective employers’ attention. A well-written job application letter will enhance the effectiveness of your resume, and even increase your chances of getting called for a job interview. If you are a non-English speaking candidate applying for a job in a multinational company, then writing a job application letter in English becomes a necessity. Even if it’s not a multinational enterprise, writing a job application letter in English makes a positive impression.
A job application letter, also known as a cover letter, should be sent or uploaded with your Resume / Curriculum Vitae when applying for jobs.
The job application letter format should be short and succinct.
1. What parts does the job application letter include?
2. What information should each part of the job application letter contain?
| 1. 2. 3. a) b) c) 4. 5. |
Heading: A letter of application should begin with both you 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.
Your Contact Information
Your Name
Your Address
Your City, State, Zip Code

Salutation: This is your polite greeting. The most common salutation is "Dear Mr./Ms." followed by the person's last name.
3. What to do if you don't know the person's name, or are unsure of a contact's gender?
Body of the letter: Think of this section as being three distinct parts.
First Paragraph
Identify the purpose of the letter, why you are writing. Be specific. Tell the reader how you learned about a job opening. Tell the employer what job you want. It may also state that the CV is enclosed.
Examples:

Fourth Paragraph
Request action. For example, indicate your desire for a personal interview and that you're able to meet with the employer at their convenience. Include your cell phone number and when it would be a good time to call.
Examples:
