can anybody help me how to write an application letter?

We Answered:

An appllication letter, or "cover" letter, is a separate sheet from one's resume or application form for a job. It can be a useful opportunity to quickly and concisely say WHY the person should hire you.

The first paragraph explains why you are writing. You don't need to say how you heard about the position, unless there is some kind of connection that can help advance you toward success, but you should know specifically what job you wanted.

Then, tell why you are qualified to do the work. This is short but should be specific and say so in the first sentence or two. The rest of the paragraph is saying why it is true, so give some examples. This is not a repeat of your resume or your application. It's short opportunity to underscore the 'you' part of you - what makes you stand out, why should a hiring manager read your resume or application instead of the other 50 or 100 (or 1000) on their desk? Make it short, specific, pleasant, believe me, I sincerely do not have all day.

Finally, sum up. Mention the position title again, that you're interested, and what you will do next - as in, contact me for outcome. Be sure to thank the reader.

Think of this letter as a opportunity to have spoken with the hiring manager while riding in an elevator. You have their undivided attention, but for only two minutes. You do your pitch: what you want, why you should be considered, a quick recap and thank you. You're telling them the benefit of hiring you, but also that you've done your homework and you know that this company and/or this job is a good fit for you. Remember also that this short letter serves as your writing example. Job applicants that can write well are particularly valuable. Notice that I at this point, I don't even know for which position you are applying yet I still insist that if you can competently rub two words together, that is, compose a cognicent set of paragraphs in a properly formated letter, you are far more valuable then someone who can't. I assure you that is true for both hiring people just out of school or those who have been in the work force for many, many years. Why? because you can communicate, which means there's a pretty good chance you can read directions, pass them along, and report back; it also means I probably won't have to also hire a babysitter to check everything you do before it goes out. Simply writing well already makes you far-far more valuable to the company, I kid you not.

The fact that you care about what you're doing is also a benefit. Believe me, I have no reason to give money to someone who requires a cattle prod or a truancey officer; frankly, I simply don't have the time for sophomorics. I'm running a business and therefore am seeking alert, active, and interested players. I'll take those who are green and inexperienced but have concentration and interest, over those who are conceited but poorly informed and immature.

By the way, don't worry too much about feeling nervous. You're doing something new, feeling those butterflies are all part of the process, it happens to adults too. Just get prepared. (1) know a good reason why you are there. I suggest one good reason is because you have skills, tenacity, cooperation and a good work ethic to offer the company. Look up each one of those words and be sure you own the ideas and examples. (2) remember who you are - you're not "just" a 3rd yr high school student. You've been on the earth a substancial amount of time. You've been successfully "employed" in your school, your home, your social environments - what have you learned there that makes you uniquely qualified to be useful in the job for which you are applying? All your experience counts, as does your energy, your positive attitude, your willlingness to work, and your interest.

Good luck to you.

How do you know when to write a college application letter?

We Answered:

Only some schools will ask you to write a letter or an essay. If they do not ask for one then don't. I know waiting to hear back from a college can be anticipating but just be patient. They recieve over thousands of applications that they have to look over. So just be patient and hopefully you get accepted into the college of your choice. Good luck!
