APPLICATION LETTER

An application letter is important to include when you're submitting your resume for a job. This type of letter allows you
to elaborate on your qualifications and explains why you want the position. A well-written application letter can
inspire hiring managers to call you for an interview, propelling you forward in the application process.

An application letter, also known as a cover letter, is a document that accompanies your resume when you're applying
for a job. This letter expands upon the information you have noted in your resume. It gives you a powerful opportunity
to emphasize your most relevant qualifications and explain why you believe you're the best candidate for the job.

While you're not always required to include an application letter with your resume, it's always a good idea to do so. This
document allows you to present a persuasive argument for why you deserve a job interview. Your application letter
can also help explain your resume further, such as a long gap in employment or apparent demotion.

While a resume is confined to a concise format, your application letter provides room for elaboration. Use the
application letter to its full potential to increase your chances of moving forward in the hiring process.

How to write an application letter

1. Research the company and job opening


Thoroughly research the company you're applying to and the specifications of the open position. The more you know
about the job, the better you can customize your application letter. Look for details like:
 Recent awards the company has received
 Major accomplishments or distinguishers that set this business apart from competitors
 Specialized certifications, skills or knowledge that are necessary or helpful for the job
 The size of the company
 The company culture
 Charitable projects the company is involved with
 The name and title for the hiring manager

2. Summarize your qualifications


 Mention the top qualifications that make you a good fit for the job. Provide a brief summary of your background
that highlights the most important points from your resume. Consider what you want the hiring manager to know
first. The reader will likely read your cover letter before reviewing your application, so this is your opportunity to
make a compelling argument for why the reader should review your resume.

3. Mention why you want the job


Include a personal statement about why you want this position. You've already explained why the company should want
you. This section details why you have chosen this company and what excites you most about this job opportunity.

4. Include a professional closing


Thank the reader for reviewing your letter, reference your resume and any other attached documents and offer to
provide additional information as needed. Mention that you look forward to the next steps in the hiring process and
conclude with "Sincerely," as a closing.
