Application for Job – Format:
Writing an application for a job is an art. With competition becoming so tough, the person who “sells” herself/himself the best gets the job. There is no doubt that the number of jobs and opportunities available today are amazing and at the same time the number of applicants and their quality has also improved drastically. So the equation has become competitive. A resume is not good enough to sell talent.
It must always be accompanied with a Job Application Letter. A Job Application Letter does not talk anything different from the resume but it just gives the gist of the resume. It also highlights some salient qualities that an individual has not being reflected in the resume. These qualities may be innate in an individual and not acquired through any course or training.
A Job Application Letter should be addressed to the person responsible for the selection process. It should always be typed with not too much playing done with fonts or colours. It should be short and crisp. It should give the gist of the individual’s qualifications along with some specific qualities that (s)he possesses.
The information being given separately in the Job Application Letter should not be repetitive in nature. A Job Application Letter should never show that the applicant is desperate. It should just be an effort to inform the organization that such talent is available whenever they need it.
Dos and Don’ts of Job Application Letter:
- A Job Application Letter should always accompany the resume.
- It should always be typed with standard fonts and colours.
- It should have the applicant’s name, address and contact details clearly mentioned.
- Apart from giving the gist of the resume it should also highlight the qualities of the applicant.
- No flowery language needs to be used in the letter.
- The applicant should not show any desperation while applying for the job as that gives a wrong indication to the prospective employer.
- A Job Application Letter should always have a subject line to indicate to the reader that the application is for a particular post.
- If the letter is being sent in response to an advertisement given by the organization then that too should be referred to in the letter.
- Since the applicant does not know the reader personally, the letter should be addressed to madam/sir.
- Giving a brief of current job profile is of utmost importance while sending a Job Application Letter.
- Giving the CTC (Cost To Company) break up of current employment is optional.
Format of Job Application Letter:
………………………….. (Name and address of the applicant) ………………. (Date) Subject: Application for the post of …………………………….. (post applied for)
