Application Letter part 3

Assalamualaikum everyone, welcome back to my blog. It's me Lutfi and I will explain you about application letter  part 3 and let's start it.😊🧡

❣❣ Job Application Letter

A job application letter is a letter from a person who needs a job (applicant) to a person or official of an organization/institution who can provide a job or position. A job application letter can also be defined as a letter from a prospective employee to a prospective employer containing a request that the prospective employee be given a job by the prospective employer. In general, a person who needs a job will submit an application after he/she obtains information about vacancies usually obtained from friends, acquaintances, or through newspaper advertisements, the internet and other mass media. In addition, a person can also apply by trial and error without knowing whether or not there are job vacancies at the institution he is applying for.

For the two conditions above, two models of job application letters can be made as follows.

• Job application letter combined with curriculum vitae. In this model, the curriculum vitae is the content of the letter. Because the content is a combination of a job application letter with a curriculum vitae, this model can also be called a combined model.
• A separate job application letter from the curriculum vitae. In this model the curriculum vitae is an appendix. Therefore this model is also called a separate model.

💙🖤 Function Of a Job Application Letter

The main function of a job application letter is to initial whether it is suitable for the position needed and at the same time proof that we are applying for the job.

Job applications also work as a form of communication between applicants and companies that contain information submitted, qualifications held and other information related to the job being applied for.

● How to format an application letter

When writing an application letter for a job, follow these steps to make sure you include information about yourself and your professional experience that will appeal to a hiring manager:

Use a professional format.

Create the heading.

Address the letter to the hiring manager.

1. Use a professional format

A job application letter should be more professional than a thank-you card or an email to a coworker or friend. The alignment of the document should include single spacing, one-inch margins and left alignment. It’s best to use a professional and traditional font, such as Times New Roman, in a size from 10 to 12 points. Try to keep your job application letter to one page. When a hiring manager reviews your job application letter, they will get their first impression of you as a potential employee, so take time to format it professionally and keep it concise.

2. Create the heading

Use a formal business heading for your job application letter. The heading should include your name and contact information, the date and the company name and address. If you send your job application letter via email, you can eliminate your name and contact information from the header and put it at the bottom of the email after the signature instead.

Example header:

Your name

Your city and ZIP code

Your phone number

Your email address

Date

Name of hiring manager or supervisor

Title of hiring manager or supervisor

Company name

Company physical address

By including a professional and detailed heading, you can make it easier for the hiring manager to follow up with you regarding the position.

3. Address the letter to the hiring manager

In your research, try to find the name of the person reviewing applications for the job. Address your letter to this person with a common business greeting, such as “Dear Mr./Ms.” and their last name. If you’re unable to find their preferred gender pronouns (she/her, them/they) of the individual reviewing your application, you can use “Dear [first and last name]” or “Dear Hiring Manager.”

💞💞How to write an application letter

Review information about the company and position

Open the letter by describing your interest

Outline your experience and qualifications

Include aspects of your personality

Express appreciation

Close the letter

1. Review information about the company and position

It’s best to write a new application letter for each position you’re applying for so you can include pertinent details and show your interest in the particular open role. Spend some time reviewing the company information, which you can likely find on the website, as well as the position listing. Compare your qualifications and experience with the list of skills in that posting. You may also want to think about specific experiences that have prepared you for the role, such as leading a team or managing a major event.

2. Open the letter by describing your interest

In the first paragraph of your letter, mention the job title for which you’re applying and where you saw the position posting. Include your specific interest in the role and company so the reader knows this is not a generic application letter. Briefly state the main experience or qualification you have that makes you a good fit. This is the section that will draw in the hiring manager as the reader of your application letter, so it is important to appeal to that person quickly and succinctly.

Example: “I saw the posting for the marketing intern role on my university’s online job board, and I am very interested. I’m drawn to your company’s mission of innovation and putting the customer first. I am in my final year of earning my bachelor’s degree in marketing with a minor in communications, so I feel my educational experience has prepared me to work in a fast-paced marketing department like the one within your organization.”

3. Outline your experience and qualifications

The next few paragraphs of your letter should highlight your experience, qualifications and skills, positioned in a way that aligns with the company’s goals and mission. For example, if you are applying for a job with a nonprofit organization that provides educational opportunities to underserved community members, you could talk about your experience with nonprofit organizations or educational offerings. Since a job application letter should stand on its own without a resume, it’s helpful to include details about your experience that relate to the position to which you’re applying.

4. Include aspects of your personality

As you’re writing your job application letter, consider how you can incorporate aspects of your personality while remaining professional. A friendly and engaging letter is likely to appeal to the reader, especially when they can get an idea of how well you might fit with the team.

For example, in the situation mentioned above, explain in your letter you are good at connecting with children or how you value community spirit.

5. Express appreciation

Before you sign off on your letter, express your appreciation to the hiring manager for reviewing your letter and considering you for the position. The hiring manager is taking time out of their day to read what you have written, so expressing your gratitude for that time spent is a polite and professional way to close the document.

Example: “I appreciate the time you have taken to review my application letter. Since you likely received a number of applications and letters for this open position, I am extremely grateful for the time you have spent reading about me and what would make me a good fit for this role.”

6. Close the letter

Many people use “Sincerely” or “Best” to close the letter, although any professional sign-off is fine to include. The final line of the letter should be your full name. If you submit a hard copy of the letter, include your signature above your typed name. When submitting an application letter via email, you should include your contact information beneath your name, rather than including it in the header.

💖👉What is a CV?

A CV—short for the Latin phrase “curriculum vitae” meaning “course of life”—is a detailed document highlighting your professional and academic history. CVs typically include information like work experience, achievements and awards, scholarships or grants you’ve earned, coursework, research projects and publications of your work. A CV is typically two or three pages long, but it’s not unusual for it to be much longer for mid-level or senior job applicants as it serves as a full outline of one’s career accomplishments.

💗🖤💙CV vs. resume

A CV and resume are similar in that they’re both documents that summarize your professional history, education, skills and achievements. They’re also both documents you might provide an employer for consideration for an open position.

It is important to note that in the United States and most of Europe, resumes and CVs are not interchangeable. A resume is typically a one-page document that provides a concise overview of your previous roles, skills and details about your education. The French word résumé translates to “abstract” or “summary.” A CV, on the other hand, is typically a longer, more detailed document focused largely on academic coursework and research. CVs are commonly required in industries such as education and academia as well as science and research.

There are a few exceptions, however. In India, South Africa and Australia, the terms CV and resume are interchangeable.

If you’re practiced in writing resumes, you may be tempted to shorten your CV to keep it to one page. However, because CVs require so much information, they’re typically multiple pages in length. In other words, don’t cut crucial details to save space.

💖💖❣CV format

While your CV should be specific to your background and tailor to the job for which you're applying, there are several steps you can take to ensure you write an effective CV.

Most CVs include the following sections:

●Contact information

●Academic history

●Professional experience

●Qualifications and skills

●Awards and honors

●Publications

●Professional associations

●Grants and fellowships

●Licenses and certificates

●Volunteer work

●Personal information (optional)

●Hobbies and interests (optional)

After getting job application information, we must write a job application letter.

Pay attention to the steps below.

1) Start the Cover Letter with a Header

2. Make salutation

3. 3) Write an Attention-Grabbing Introduction

Start off with 2-3 of your top achievements to really grab the reader's attention. Preferably, the achievements should be as relevant as possible to the position.

4) Explain why you're the perfect person for the job and fit to the company.

You need to learn what the most important requirements for the role are. So, open up the job ad and identify which of the responsibilities are the most critical.

5. Use the rigt formal closing

-Thank you

-Sincerely

😊💖Top Tips for writing :

1. Begin and end the letter appropriately

Beginning Dear Sir or Madam with no name - Closing: Yours faithfully

Beginning Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms+surname - Closing Yours sincerely

2. Give a clear reason for writing.

I am writing with regard to / to enquire about to apply for.../ to express interest in

3. Use linking words to join similar ideas into paragraphs

4. Include a summary comment near the end of your letter. I hope you will find this information useful. I would be very grateful for your assistance in this matter.

5. Close your letter with a set phrase I look forward to hearing from you.
