A job application letter is a letter made by a job applicant for a certain position for acceptance in an agency. In writing a job application letter, it is not always based on one format. But there are many formats or versions that can be used according to the needs of job applicants.

Apart from functioning as a communication tool between applicants and job recipients, job application letters also function as an initial assessment tool whether they are suitable to be placed in the position that has been chosen or included in the application letter or not.

There are generally 3 parts to a job application letter. Here's the explanation:

Salutation (opening)

Salutatio is the opening section that contains to whom the letter is addressed.

Body of Paragraph (content)

This section contains the gist of the letter. This is also where the last education or work experience is listed and where the job vacancies are found. Complete CV and portfolio included in the envelope can also be included.

Closing (cover)

Closing is the closing part that marks the end of the application letter.

The parts of the letter are more detailed, namely:

Cover letter header

This section usually contains the sender's name, city, country, phone number, email, recipient name, company name and address.

date line

This section contains the date the letter was written. Usually placed above the header or below the header. Use of date is mandatory. Some include the date and some don't.

Greetings

The greeting that is often used is "dear". In writing, the author should include the last name of the recipient and put a comma.

Paragraph 1

This paragraph contains personal information as well as the position/position chosen.

Paragraph 2

In the second paragraph the author lists his personal skills and achievements to ensure that the author is suitable for the position.

Paragraph 3

In this section, the writer reassures the recipients that the writer has the appropriate qualifications for the chosen position and hopes to be called for an interview.

Closing and signature

Include closing greetings (accompanied by a comma), signature and full name.

Exercise

A curriculum vitae, often abbreviated as CV, is a document that job applicants use to demonstrate their academic and professional achievements. It is used to apply for positions in areas where one's specialized knowledge or expertise is required. A curriculum vitae is usually longer than a resume and should include the information the recruiter needs to verify the applicant's skills, experience, and educational qualifications.

In many countries, a CV is usually the first document a potential employer sees when screening candidates for a job interview, scholarship program, grant application, or scholarship. When sending resumes and other application documents to employers, some applicants may choose to send physical copies of the documents by registered mail, or electronically by email, depending on what the prospective employer indicates in the job advertisement.

 

What to Include in Your CV?

1. Personal information

At the top of your resume, write your full name and contact information such as phone number, email address, registered mailing address, etc. Under contact information, include information that describes who you are. Common personal information may include gender, date of birth, government-issued identification number, marital status, and nationality. You can choose to include personal details if they are relevant to the job you are applying for, or if your previous employer requested the information.

2. Education

Educational information includes a list of the educational programs you attended and the year and name of the institution you attended. Ideally, you should include information about the colleges, graduate schools, and graduate schools you attended, the courses you took, and the year you graduated from the program. Some employers may also ask you to indicate the grades/ awards you have earned at different levels of education. Employers use educational information to determine whether your professional qualifications match the job requirements of the position you are applying for.

3. Work experience

The work experience section requires you to list your most recent work experience that is relevant to the position you are applying for. For each position you previously held, indicate the name of the employer (company), your specific role, and duration of employment. Also, be sure to provide a summary of the tasks you performed in each company and the achievements/awards given by the employer. List relevant work experience starting with the last position you held.

4. Awards and awards

If you have been awarded any awards either at an academic level or during your previous employment, list them here. The award may include a dean's award, honorary degree, presidential award, professional certification or award, or an employer-given award for excellence.

5. Skills

If you have a particular skill and you haven't mentioned it elsewhere in your resume, register it here. Such skills can include language skills, computer skills, driving skills, advanced software skills, etc. These skills must be relevant to the job you are applying for.

6. Publications and presentations

If you have published academic or conference papers, you should list them in this section. You should include papers that you have only written, co-authored, and those you have contributed. Remember to indicate the name of the paper, year of publication, and names of co-authors, if applicable. Also, include papers that have been presented during conferences and associations, and state the name of the paper, the name of the conference, and the date the paper was presented. This section is included when applying for academic positions.

7. Membership in professional bodies

Potential employers may require applicants to become members of certain professional bodies. This section mostly applies to specific positions such as accountants, engineers, surveyors, IT professionals, etc. List all professional bodies and associations you belong to and your membership status.
