Job Application/Resignation & Sales Letter

Job Application Letter

A job application letter, also known as a cover letter, is a document that is typically submitted alongside a resume or CV when applying for a job. The letter serves as an introduction to the employer and should highlight the skills and qualifications that make the applicant a good fit for the position. It should also express the applicant's enthusiasm and interest in the job and the company. A well-written job application letter can help an applicant stand out from other candidates and increase their chances of getting an interview.

Format of Job Application Letter:

A job application letter typically follows a standard format, which includes the following elements:

·      The header: This should include your contact information (name, address, phone number, and email) as well as the date and the recipient's contact information.

·      The salutation: This should include the recipient's name and title (if known). If the recipient's name is not known, it is acceptable to use a generic salutation such as "Dear Hiring Manager".

·      The introduction: This should be a brief statement that explains the purpose of the letter and how you found out about the job.

·      The body: This is the main section of the letter and should explain why you are interested in the job, how your skills and experience align with the position, and what you can contribute to the company. This section should be no more than 2-3 paragraphs long.

·      The closing: This should express your enthusiasm for the opportunity and ask for an interview. Include your contact information again, and state that you will follow up on the application.

·      Sign off: This should include your name and your typed signature.

·      Enclosures: If you are including any other documents such as a resume or a portfolio, you can mention them here.

It's important to proofread the letter several times to ensure that there are no errors in grammar, spelling, or punctuation. It's also important to tailor the letter to the specific job and company you are applying for.
