APPLICATION LETTER

 Assalammualaikum wr.wb

Hello everybody!! See u again with me. Today I want to tell you about Application Letter.

Definition: A letter of application, also known as a cover letter, is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience. A letter of application typically provides detailed information on why are you are qualified for the job you are applying for.

 

Structure:

1. Sender/Contact Details

     List your contact details at the top of the document.

2. Subject

     The recipient should be able to see immediately what kind of document they have and what position you are applying for.

3. Greeting

     If you know your contact person, you can address them by name. If this person has a title, you should use it – if there are several titles, the highest title is sufficient.

4. Introductory Remarks

    The introduction is about arousing the reader’s interest in only 3 to 5 lines so that they do not immediately reject your application.

5. Main Body

    This section is about selling yourself as a worker and person as convincingly as possible.

6. Corporate Reference

     In this section, you will answer the following questions: How can I enrich the company and why did I choose this company as my employer? You should give the reader the impression that you are the perfect candidate for the position. 

7. Ending

    The last impression is one of the most important. However, if the reader has held out to the end, the cover letter has probably already been interesting enough so you will only have to do a little persuasion work.

Let's watch my video.

Dear Ms.Jobhunt :

I am writing to express my interest in the Retail Management Trainee position you listed recently on the MOC Job Network. I have reviewed Enterprise Rent-a-Car’s web page and am very impressed with your company’s commitment to excellent costomer service and your employee development training program. I will be graduating from Mount Olive College in August and am actively seeking a retail management position.

 

As you will note in the enclosed resume. I have had meaningful practical experience in both retail sales and customer service. My positions at The Gap and Belk’s have given me the ability to work with a wide variety of clientele. In addition, I have completed several courses in management while pursing my baccalaurcate degree In business administration. My experiences as Secretary of the Mount Olive College Phi Beta Lambda (national business organization) and as a member of the MOC softball team have also helped my leadership and organizational skills.

 

I will like to explore the Retail Management Trainee position with you further. I will be in Wilmington the week of February 4th and would love to have the opportunity to speak with you at that time. I will call next week to see if we might identify a mutually convenient meeting time. Should you need additional information , please call me at (919) 658-1234. I look forward to hearing from you.
