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. Use a professional format
This letter should follow a professional format and include your name, your contact
information, the date and the company's information. Begin with a professional
salutation, such as "Dear X," and address the hiring manager by name whenever
possible. If thorough research doesn't yield the hiring manager's name, you may use
"Dear [Department] Hiring Manager," to address your recipient.

3. State the position you're applying for


Open the letter with a clear statement about the position you are applying for. Mention
the company by name. You may want to specify where you saw the job posting. If you
were referred by someone at the company, be sure to include their name and position.
4. Explain why you're the best fit for the job
In one or two impactful sentences, explain why you're the best fit for
this job opening. Provide clear details regarding your experience,
skills, education or certifications.

5. 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.
6. 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.

7. 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.
Example
Thank you
