Application Letter - printed version

Writing an application letter can sometimes be challenging. We want to write a good application with the right format and good content so that our job application will be taken into further consideration.

The following are some points to consider when writing an application letter:

1. An application should be concise - right to the point. So it should be no longer than one page.
2. Use common fonts, such as Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri with font size ranging from 10 to 12 points.
3. It usually consists of 6 parts, namely: Header, Salutation, Introduction, Body, Closing, and Signature.
4. Header tells about applicant's information (name, address, phone number, email), then followed by the date and finally company's information)
5. In Salutation, we write "Dear Sir or Madam," or if we know the person's name we can write 'Dear Mr. Chandler,"
6. In Introduction, we tell why we write the application letter, that is to apply for the position offered. and we also write where we got the information of the job vacancy. It can be from a newspaper, or an associate in the company.
7. In Body, we tell about our qualifications, especially those required for the job offered. Here we also write our positive characters that will benefit the company, like hardworking, honest, sociable, communicative, creative, disciplined, etc.
8. In Closing, we restate how our qualifications or skills and characters make us become the right person for the job. Here we also tell the company that we are willing to attend an interview or a test if necessary. End this part by saying 'Thank you for your attention and consideration. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
9. In Signature, we write "Yours  faithfully,"  if we started the Salutation with "Dear Sir or Madam,",  and we use "Yours sincerely," if we started with a name at the Salutation. Then, we put down our signature and our full name below it.
10. Read it again for proof reading.
11. Print it out, sign it and send it along with a CV.

Look at this example:



The Train Effect

It is Hard and slow when a train starts going, but once it is running, faster and faster, nothing can stop it. Not even the Chinese great wall.
