Latter format
When you're writing employment letters, the format of your letter is important regardless of what
type of letter you are sending. Your letters need to be properly addressed, formatted, written, and
spaced.
If you have a contact person that you are writing to, the letter should be addressed to him or her.
Your letters need an appropriate greeting and closing. Each paragraph of your letter should be
focused and include detailed information on why you are writing. In the final paragraph of your
letter thank the person you are writing to for considering your request.
Don't forget to include your contact information - full name, address, phone number, and email
address - so it's easy for the reader to connect with you.
Here are sample letter formats including cover letters, business letters, resignation letters,
reference letters, thank you letters, networking letters, and letters for a variety of other
employment related scenarios.

the job you are applying for and where you found the job listing. Include the name of a mutual
contact, if you have one.

The next section of your application letter should describe what you have to offer the employer.
Mention specifically how your qualifications match the job you are applying for. Remember, you

Application letters, if written impressively, can work for your best at any company/firm. It is a part of
resume writing. Even if your resume isn't as heavy as other candidates applying for the same job, your
application may work in pleasing the interviewer, with the right choice of words. Application letters of
various job applicants are often reviewed by the HR of the company/firm, to check the best applicant of
all. If you score a ten on ten there, you are already in the interviewees list! Your job application should
be well tailored, specifically for your profile.
The application letter (sometimes, referred to as application) should be written in such a way that it
covers all the areas, a potential employer is looking for. Your qualifications and achievements should be
highlighted. Any queries regarding your resume should be preemptively answered. The cover letter
should create a good impression on the employer, advocating why you should be hired by the
organization. Make sure you avoid the usage of jargon while drafting the cover letter. Keeping all these
points in mind will ensure that you get an interview call from the organization.

Salutation
Dear Mr./Ms. Last Name, (You must leave out this space if you do not have info about whom to address
or you may simply write Dear Sir/Madam. A comma after salutation is must. In some countries, dear is
not used in a job application letter, since it is considered as a business letter. You should check your
region's letter writing etiquette before using 'Dear'. You may alternatively use simple Sir/Madam/Ma'am
or Respected Sir/Madam.
First Paragraph
In an application letter format, the first paragraph must include details on why you are writing the letter.
You must mention the job you are interested in and applying for and how did you find that job listing.
You may include the name of a mutual contact/reference, if you have one.
Middle Paragraph(s)
The middle paragraph should describe what you have to offer the company/employer. You should
mention your educational background and how your qualifications are best suited for the job you are
applying for. You may write about your past work experiences, and what you gained from it. Do not
make it sound like a resume. Remember, that it is an application which is a sort of interpretation of a
resume.
Final Paragraph
General application format implies that the final paragraph must be a concluding one, in which the
applicant should thank the employer for considering him for the job position. Including information
about the follow-up is very important and you must do it only in the final paragraph.

I am interested in applying for the Sales Executive position recently advertised in The New York Times.
The marketing skills I have developed from my past work experience and educational background
support my candidacy for the announced position.

to gain practical experience with account maintenance and cold-calling new accounts. I have also
worked as a waiter for the past four years, learning firsthand how to effectively deal with customers and
their demands. I have been formally commended by management several times and have been
rewarded with the title of "Employee of the Month" several times.
I would like an opportunity to discuss your specific needs and my overall abilities regarding the
announced position. You can contact me at (718) 234-6767. You can email me at

best for the new job!
