Application Letter (for job)?

Question

How do I write one??? Could you give an example??

Answer 1

Here's the textbook answer....

Your letter should have four paragraphs: an introduction, an education paragraph, an experience paragraph, and a conclusion.

The introduction should identify the position, state where you found that advertisement or heard about the position, state that you wish to be considered for the position, and provide a bit of a forecast for what is to some in the remainder of the letter.

The education paragraph should describe your educational qualifications for the positions. Consider including degrees, a mention of relevant coursement, and any special academic experience that might make you a good candidate for the position.

The experience paragraph should describe your work (or perhaps volunteer) experience that makes you a good person for the position. Try to highlight the skills that you have that will be of use to the company to which you are applying.

The conclusion should reference any accompanying materials (a resume perhaps), include a polite request to be contacted about the position, and include your contact information (often your e-mail address and phone number).

Well, that's the textbook outline for a cover letter. However, you should feel free to vary the format based on your personal experiences and preferences. The cover letter should be a place to discuss unique experiences and expand on the elements that are present in your resume/application. I would generally suggest following the basic textbook format, but adapt it to make it more personal....

Answer 2

I think what you are talking about is a cover letter.
Here are some websites that talk about writing a cover letter and have some examples:

http://jobstar.org/tools/resume/cletters.php
http://www.career.vt.edu/JOBSEARC/coversamples.htm
http://jobsearch.about.com/od/coverletters/Cover_Letters.htm
http://www.quintcareers.com/covres.html

You can google: cover letter for more information.

Basically you:

company name
company address in full

re: application for (position)

Dear Hiring Committee/ (whoever),

In reviewing the job description for (position) I noticed that my skills (fit the position).

You want to write at least three paragraphs, the websites will explain more. You want to write about your skills and education and how they fit the job. You want to write why your personality fits the job. You want to show you know what the job is about/why you want it/why you are applying. At the end you want to say that you will contact them to follow up.
Please see web links, they are very helpful.

Answer 3

No, but the Microsoft Office website can give you a whole stack of them. That's where I get all my business letters from! Go to www.office.microsoft.com and click on the templates link then search "job application". Too easy.
