Application Letter 1

 

Hello friends, in this blog I will explain some about job application letters ...

What is a job application letter?

A job application letter is a letter made by a job applicant for a certain position for acceptance in an agency. In writing a job application letter, it is not always based on one format. many formats or versions that can be used according to the needs of job applicants.

Functional job application letter

In addition to working as a communication tool with job applicants, job application letters also work as an initial assessment tool whether they are suitable to be placed in the chosen position or included in the application letter or not.

Parts of a job application letter

There are generally 3 parts to a job application letter. Here's the explanation:

1. Greetings (opening)

Salutatio is the opening section that contains to whomever the letter is addressed. The format is,

Dear sir/madam (when you don't know the name and gender of the recipient)

Dear Mr./ Mrs./ Ms. Last name (when name and gender are known)

What to Include in Your Letter ?

As with all cover letters, a job application letter is divided into sections:

• The heading, which includes your name and contact information. 

• A greeting, addressed to a specific person, if possible.

• The introduction, which should include why the applicant is writing.
