Meylinda Defriyola-APPLICATION LETTER
A job application letter is a letter from someone who needs a job to someone or an official
who can provide a job or position. Through a cover letter, the applicant requests that he or
she be given a job. A job application letter can also be interpreted as a letter from a
prospective employee to a prospective employer containing a request that the employee be
given a job by the prospective employer. A job application letter is usually formal or official,
for example a job application letter as an employee or a certain position in accordance with
the advertisement offered. In this case, the applicant in his application letter needs to state the
source of his application in the opening paragraph or paragraph. If the application is not
based on the source, of course there is no need to mention the source in the opening
paragraph.
According to the type of making a job application letter can be divided into two, namely:
A. Job application letter combined with curriculum vitae. In this way, the curriculum vitae
includes the contents of the letter because the contents are combined, this method is also
called the combined model.
B. The application letter is separate from the curriculum vitae. In this way the curriculum
vitae is an appendix and this method is called a standalone model.
In practice, the most widely used is the split model. Although it takes twice the processing
time, and this model is preferred by job seekers because the letters are not too long.
Things that must be included in a job application letter in order to achieve the purpose of
making it include:
The complete identity of the applicant includes full name, place and date of birth, complete
address, telephone number, mobile phone or other communication aids. The applicant's
identification should make it easier for the company to contact the applicant.
C. Desired position
D. educational background
G. References (if any and the applicant considers the referring party to have influence in
decision making)
There are several things to consider when writing a cover letter, namely:
1. Application letter written by hand on folio size lined paper. Writing must be clear, clean,
and free from scribbles. Application letters can be made using a typewriter or computer.
2. Applicants refer to themselves not with our pronouns but me. Applicants must refer to the
head of the institution as Mr/Mrs (if the leader is clear). If it's still not clear, you can
immediately mention the position.
3. Greetings
4. Letter opener
7. Cover letter
The job application letter is formal and is addressed to the agency officially, so the grammar
is not as directed at colleagues. When writing a job application letter,the use of punctuation
marks, the use of capital letters, and the use of abbreviations.
Try not to write abbreviations to make your cover letter look professional. The language in
the cover letter is also solid, clear, concise, and informative so that the reader is not confused.
Best Regards
