■ Body of Application Letter
The body of your application letter lets the employer know what position you are
■ First Paragraph
The first paragraph of your letter should include information on why you are writing. Mention the job you are applying
for and where you found the job listing. Include the name of a mutual contact, if you have one. You might conclude by
briefly and concisely saying why you think you are an ideal candidate for the job.

■ Middle Paragraph(s)
The next section of your application letter should describe what you have to offer the employer.

■ It can be a single paragraph, or you can break it up into a couple of paragraphs. If the section gets lengthy, you may use
bullet points to break up the text. Remember, you are interpreting your resume, not repeating it.

■ Mention specifically how your qualifications match the job you are applying for. In this portion of the letter, make your
case for your candidacy.

■ It can be helpful to spend some time researching the company — this knowledge and insight helps you make an
informed and persuasive argument for your candidacy.

■ Use specific examples whenever possible. For example, if you say that you have lots of experience working successfully
on team projects, provide an example of a time you worked in a group and achieved success.

■ Final Paragraph
Conclude your application letter by thanking the employer for considering you for the position. Include information on
how you will follow up.
■ Complimentary Close (examples)
■ Sincerely, Signature (for a hard copy letter) Typed Signature
