how do you write a good job application?

Answer 1

The most important issue is to keep it short and simple. Include : -
The job you are applying for;
Where you found out about the job;
Why you want this job;
Why you should get the job.

Keep all this to half a page at most. A long letter will not be read.

Include the statement that all information about is included in the resume attached.

Then ATTACH A RESUME.

The resume is the important part of the application, not the letter (although the letter gets the resume read.)

Enjoy job application and Have someone READ BOTH your letter and resume BEFORE you send them in.

Answer 2

1) Put down information that pertains to the job. Example you are applying for a customer service job, include experience that is customer service related.

2) Include information that stands out. The most important information should be at the top of your resume.

3) You might consider including information such as hobbies (if they aren't appropriate don't include those). Many employers look for somebody that is well rounded.

Interview suggestion
If you are asked a question such as "What is your worst quality?" focus on something positive. You might say something such as "I feel that I am too focused. Sometimes I just won't quit at something until it is perfect ." That sounds better than "I struggle with being punctual."

If you have MS Word you can select a template that offers a basic resume outline. Just fill in the information.

Hope that helps
