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.

                 Your application letter should let the employer know what position you are applying for, why the employer should select you for an interview, and how you will follow-up.


PURPOSE

The purpose of a job application is to improve your chances of being called for an interview, by convincing the reader that you would be the best person for the job.

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.


STRUCTURE

This is what a letter of application should include:

1. Header with your name and contact details.

2. Hiring manager’s address.

3. Opening paragraph introducing yourself and your application.

4. Two body paragraphs explaining why you’re a great candidate and your motivation behind the application.

5. Closing paragraph with a call to action directed at the employer.

6. Your signature and attachments list.


EXPRESSION

You can write a unique expression of interest for each company you’re interested in. Follow these steps when writing an expression of interest:

1. Add contact details, date, salutation and letter’s purpose

Format your expression of interest like a standard business letter, with the following details aligned to the left, taking a new line for the details in every bullet point:

• Your name

• Your job title, if applicable

• Your phone number

• Your email address

• Your street address

• Your city, state/territory and postcode

• The date written in full

• Recipient’s name, if known

• Recipient’s company

• Recipient’s street address

• Recipient’s city, state/territory and postcode

• Salutation


2. Introduce yourself

Your first paragraph can tell the employer who you are and why you are writing to them. Discuss why you’d like an opportunity with the company, making specific references to the elements of the business you like, such as its products and values. If you’re interested in a particular department or job title, note this in your introduction.


3. Describe Your Background

Your second paragraph can show the employer the value you’d bring to their organisation. Note your relevant skills and some of your key accomplishments. Mention your qualifications and work history without going into great detail, as the employer can learn more by reading your resume.


4. Write a Conlusion

Conclude your expression of interest by thanking the employer for reading your letter. Note that you can attend an interview when it’s convenient for the company. A positive conclusion can encourage the employer to keep your expression of interest until they’re ready to hire new staff. Add a professional sign-off and your signature.
