A letter of application, also known as a cover letter, is a job application document sent with your resume to provide additional information about your skills and experience. The letter of application is intended to provide detailed information on why you are a qualified candidate for the job you are applying for. Effective application letters explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and highlight your most relevant skills or experiences. The Format Name Address City, State, PIN Code Phone Number Email Address Date Employer Name Title Company Address City, State, PIN Code Salutation Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name, Body of the Application The body of your application letter enables the employer know what position you are applying for, why the employer should select you for an interview, and how you will follow up. See below for a paragraph- by-paragraph division of the body of the letter. First Paragraph The first paragraph of your letter should include information on the purpose of writing. Mention the job you are applying for and where you found the job listing. You might conclude by briefly saying why you think you are an ideal candidate for the job. Second Paragraph The next section of your application letter should describe what you have to offer the employer. It can be a single paragraph, or you can break it up into a couple of paragraphs. If the section gets lengthy, you may use bullet points to break up the text. Remember, you are interpreting your resume, not repeating it. -A-Prose-Dr. Arignar - - :
