DISCUSSION

1. Understanding Application Letter

An application letter is a business document, part of the important correspondence between

applicant and organization, firm or company, institution or various boards and committees
that publish a vacancy. It is a paper frequently used in all levels of government, commerce,
industry, and academia. Students planning to correspond in any undertaking require the
understanding of the main points of a job application letter.

Writing a correct job application letter is a useful talent for anyone planning to enter an
administrative role in any industry or profession. In order to write a job application letter in
the most exact manner, the writer must understand that letters employers are familiar with
nowadays were established gradually to become effectual, succinct and workable documents.

A good job application letter addresses all the points stated in the job advertisement. The
manner in which a person responds to a commercial announcement alerts recruiters and
employers to their capacity, their level of education, personality, and professionalism.

A standard, generic form for the letter of application is (1) to introduce yourself, (2) to state
briefly what you want, what position you are applying for, (3) to state clearly why you are
qualified for the position, (4) to elaborate as to your special assets, why you are particularly
well suited for the job, (5) to highlight your most important training, experiences, skills and
accomplishments, and (6) to end with a compelling statement as to why the employer ought
to hire you.

A job application letter, also known as a cover letter, should be sent or uploaded with
your resume when applying for jobs. The job application letters you send explain to the
employer why you are qualified for the position and why you should be selected for an
interview.

Here is information on how to write job application letters, along with job application letter
samples, examples, and templates to use to write application letters to apply for jobs.

2. Steps for Writing a Job Application Letter

The traditional format of a business letter applies to most job application letters. The layout is
the first thing noticed: those who receive business letters such as covering letters for a job
application expect them to be set out in a specific way.

If everything is set out appropriately, the employer or recruiter concentrates on the content
and meaning. If your arrangement on the sheet of paper seems incorrect, unusual or non-
traditional, the prospective employer is distracted from the implicit message.

1. Understand the format, and fill in the content according to that form.

2. Make a list of all the information to go in the letter.

3. Be brief, so the letter can fit onto a single page. Set out the text with wide margins.
Position your address, the employers address, and the subject of the letter in the correct
spaces. The subject must be centered at the top.
4. Start by stating the reason for the letter.

5. Contain the important parts in three paragraphs, to ensure the main points are clear,.

6. Most job application letters have no letterhead, because they originate from an
individual. So the message must be placed in the middle, underneath the applicants address
on the right, between a greeting and a salutation.

7. The greeting starts, Dear [Name]. Always address the employer by their formal name.
It is Dear Mr. Jones, not Dear Larry.

8. The salutation must be formal, such as Yours faithfully, or Yours sincerely.

9. Type your full name in upper case below your legal signature.

10. Job application letters are customarily formatted in block style, without indents, with all
lines aligned left. Aligning all paragraphs to the left is more legible than full justification.

Key Points to Consider

It is not wise to use slang, technical jargon, abbreviations, contractions, or unexplained

acronyms in a job application. Neither is it appropriate to use a conversational tone. Job
application letters are serious documents, often used as material evidence or commercial
certification.

A job application letter has its own appropriate tone and attitude: assertive but unassuming,
confident but not arrogant or conceited. It is improper to write overly long sentences full of
pretensions or self-satisfaction.

Personal items, such as family news or casual felicitations, should be omitted from a good
job application letter.

Always state the reason for application, the job in question, where you found the
announcement, and why you think you are the person most suitable to take up the position.

Common Mistakes

Avoid making mistakes that might be risky, or that might lose you the opportunity to work in
the place of your dreams. Some frequent mistakes found are:

Omitting to request an interview. Do this in the last paragraph and be firm and clear. Being
demanding or rude is also a mistake.
 Long-winded paragraphs.

Being sycophantic or fawning.

Text that does not match the occasion and the establishment you approach. Avoid
colloquialisms and slang. Remember that a well-mannered message is always most effective.

The most frequent mistake made in job application letters is to flout convention and place
paragraphs, addresses, or salutations in the wrong place.

Incorrectly spaced paragraphs, or a job application letter with more than two paper folds.

Insufficient clarity about the position for which you are applying. In addition, people often
omit to state their qualification for it, or ask to speak personally with the person in charge.

Notes:

1. Applicants Address

2. Date

3. Write in the following sequence

Name of the responsible officer

Post of the responsible officer

Name of the organization

Address of the organization

4. Addressee:

Address to the responsible officer as far you can, e.g. Mr. Lee

5. Title

In the first paragraph of an unsolicited application letter, you should state the post or job
area you are interested in and the reason for making self-referral
7. Content

List the relevant academic qualifications and experience to show that you are the best
person for the post

8. Last Paragraph

Indicate your wish for an interview

9. Closing

Use yours sincerely if you are addressing to the responsible officer, otherwise, use
Yours faithfully

Sign your name below the closing remark and type your name under signature

10. Enclosures

CHAPTER 2

FINAL

CONCLUSION

Write the cover letter. Include the inside address, date, heading, salutation, opening paragraph
and body paragraphs.

Begin the conclusion by thanking the employer for her time. Keep the statement short and
simple. If you are too effusive, the employer might see this as an attempt to ingratiate
yourself. An example of an appropriate closing statement is: "Thank you for your time and
attention."

Continue the conclusion by indicating that you would like to be interviewed. Do not assume
that the employer will interview you because an employer may see this as over-confidence or
arrogance. Instead, work the request into a statement; for example: "I would appreciate the
opportunity to discuss my qualifications with you." This is a subtle and professional request
for an interview.

Provide your email address and telephone number. Even if these items appear on the header
of the resume, resumes sometimes get lost so you should reiterate them. You may give your
cell phone number as well, but keep in mind that an employer can call your cell at any time,
including when you are busy or indisposed. For this reason, many applicants prefer to simply
provide their home phone number. An example of this statement is "I hope to hear from you
soon; my telephone number is (number) and I may be reached any afternoon. My email is
(email)."
Close the letter by typing "Sincerely," and skipping three lines. Type your full name. Print the
letter and sign in the space above your name
