APPLICATION/COVER LETTER

FORMAT
BY ALISON DOYLE, February 15, 2019
A job application letter (also known as a cover letter) is a letter you
send with your resume to provide information on your skills and
experience. This letter is your chance to “sell” yourself to an employer,
explaining why you are an ideal candidate for a position.
It's important that your application letter is formatted properly and
free from errors. Recruiters and hiring managers will notice if you do
not follow the standard guidelines for writing the letter - or if it's full of
typos and mistakes.

Follow the Proper Business Letter Format

• Use the official business letter format when writing your letter. This
varies slightly depending on how you are sending your letter -
through email or as a hard copy.

When applying for certain positions in the US, as well as jobs

than your typical resume, including details of your education and
academic achievements, research, publications, awards, affiliations,
and more.
