Letter of Application
A letter of application, also known as a cover letter, is a
document sent with your resume to provide additional
information about your skills and experience to an
employer. The purpose of this letter is intended to provide
detailed information to attract the attention of the employer
and persuade him/her to give you the opportunity to be
interviewed. To do this, the letter presents what you can
offer to the employer, rather than what you want from the
job.

An effective application letters should let the employer

know what position you are applying for, what makes you
strong candidate, explain your qualifications for the job,
and show that you are the ideal candidate for the job.

Types of Application Letters:
 A solicited letter, is sent in
response to a help-wanted
advertisement. Because such a
letter will be in competition with
many, perhaps several hundred
others, it must be composed with
distinction. At the same time, it
must refer to advertisement and
the specific job advertised.

company for which you would
like to work though you know of
no particular job opening. The

application, however, is that
there will be little competition
and you can define yourself the
position you would like to apply
for.
