Application letter, also known as a cover letter, is a document sent with a resume
to provide additional information on someone's skills and experience. It typically
provides detailed information on the reason why someone is qualified for the job
he/she is applying for.
Note: An application letter should let the employer know what position you are
applying for, why the employer should select you for an interview, and how you will
follow-up.
1. Header
All cover letters start with a header that includes your contact information. A
header should start with your name and include your email, phone number
and address on separate lines.
EXAMPLE
[Your Name]
[Your Address]
[Your City, State and Zip Code]
[Your Phone Number]
[Your Email]
[Date]
1. Greeting/Salutation
It is your first chance to differentiate yourself from other applicants by addressing
the correct person.
Research the name of the hiring manager for each position to show that you
have put thought and effort into your application.
If you can't find a specific name to address your letter to, you can personalize
the greeting by referencing the specific department you would be working
with. "Dear Hiring Manager" is a standard greeting that is acceptable when
their name is not available.
Keep your greeting short and professional, using the appropriate honorifics
or titles when applicable.

2. Stay concise
Since this letter is serving as your first impression, you want to make sure It is as
positive as possible. Make sure your letter does not have any grammatical or spelling
errors to avoid a potentially negative first impression.
Most job postings will include certain skills and abilities that the hiring manager and
supervisor want applicants to possess. Including these keywords in your application letter
helps to show the person reviewing it you would be a good fit in that specific role.
Unless a job posting specifically states not to send an application letter, it is smart to send
one for each job to which you apply. This letter offers the opportunity for a potential
employer to learn more about you and gives you the chance to set yourself apart from
other applicants.
