Job Application Letter Checklist

Checklist
Content
Your address and contact details
the date
the full name of the person you are writing to, and/or his/her job title 'The Personnel Manager'
the address of the organisation you are applying to
the salutation; e.g. Dear Ms Chan
a subject heading; e.g. Application for the Post of Trainee Manager
First paragraph: 'I am writing to apply for the post of ..., which was advertised ... on (+date).
working experience relevant to this job
education relevant to this job
descriptions of how you fulfil all the requirements in the job advert or necessary for this post
why you want to work for this organisation (showing your knowledge of the organisation)
when you are available for interview
Yours sincerely / faithfully
your signature
your full name
enclosures

Organisation
order: decide whether your education or your working experience is more useful to the employer, and put that in the second paragraph
write good topic sentences: start each paragraph with words that show what it is about; e.g. 'My working experience...'; 'My degree in... '; 'My leadership skills...'; 'The reason that I would like to work for your company is...'
write a different job application letter for each organisation that you apply to. You will need different addresses, dates, and names, and you will need to emphasise different skills, qualifications and experience depending on the requirements of the job.


Register
be polite and formal, but not too polite; e.g. don't use "esteemed"

Conventions
format your letter in block style: everything except the subject heading is left-aligned, and leave an empty line between each paragraph
write the month as a word, not a number, to prevent confusion between the British and American systems; e.g. 05/02/2007 is confusing, so use '5 February 2007'.
in the date you do not need to use st/nd/rd/th or a comma.
with 'Dear Sir', 'Dear Sirs' or 'Dear Sir or Madam', use 'Yours faithfully'. With 'Dear Mr Wong' use 'Yours sincerely'
if you use a comma after the salutation, use one after the 'Yours sincerely/faithfully'. Otherwise omit them both. Be consistent.
follow the conventions in your industry. The guidelines given here are general ones. You may want to make your letter stand out by doing something different, and that is acceptable as long as you follow the conventions in your field.

Dear Mr Chan

Application for the Post of Management Trainee

I am writing to apply for the post of Management Trainee, which was advertised on the Student Affairs Office notice board of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University on 27 January 2007.

My working experience at Lucky Star Garment Manufactory Limited improved my leadership skills, communication skills and ability to work in a team environment. I have fluent spoken and written English. I also have fluent spoken and written Mandarin, and can therefore work in mainland China.

Currently I am studying a B.A. in Management at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, graduating in 2007. Subjects which I am studying that are relevant to the post of Management Trainee include Operations Management, Human Resources Management, Accounting, Marketing and Strategic Management.

My final year project is entitled Knowledge Management Practices in HK. Carrying out this project has improved my communication skills, my leadership skills and my ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively. I have also learned how to run a project from the planning stage to its completion.

During my studies I have held the post of Executive in the Management Society. While leading and organising Management Society activities I have improved my ability to lead and supervise subordinates effectively, ability to work under pressure and ability to work in a team environment.

Working for Wong And Lim Consulting appeals to me because it has a good reputation and it provides excellent training. Your organisation produces a high-quality service, and I can contribute to this with my leadership skills and my ability to work under pressure.

I am available for interview at any time. I can be contacted most easily on the mobile phone number given above. I look forward to meeting you.

Yours sincerely




Wong Wai Man Wilfred
