What is an application letter?

An application letter, also known as a cover letter, is a document that accompanies your resume when you're applying for a job.

The content of the application letter is simple information about yourself, starting from your name, educational background, to the experiences or achievements you have achieved. Everything is explained briefly and concisely because the application letter usually only contains one page.

​Follow these steps to compose a compelling application letter:

1. Research the company and job opening
2. Use a professional format
​This letter should follow a professional format and include your name, your contact information, the date and the company's information. Begin with a professional salutation, such as "Dear X," and address the hiring manager by name whenever possible. If thorough research doesn't yield the hiring manager's name, you may use "Dear [Department] Hiring Manager," to address your recipient.
3. State the position you're applying for
4. Explain why you're the best fit for the job
5. Summarize your qualifications
6. Mention why you want the job
7. Include a professional closing
Thank the reader for reviewing your letter, reference your resume and any other attached documents and offer to provide additional information as needed. Mention that you look forward to the next steps in the hiring process and conclude with "Sincerely," as a closing.
