An application letter is a cover letter, a sales letter,
and a marketing tool all in one and it should accompany
a professional resume any time a person applies for a job.
Its main objective is to get the applicant in the door for
an interview and must be written well enough to attract
the attention and interest of the person with the power
to recommend or grant one. The scope should include
compelling information that will convince the reader that
the qualifications outlined in the resume are strong enough
to make an applicant a candidate. The successful application
letter accomplishes three tasks: It catches the reader's
attention
favorably, it convinces the reader that you are a qualified
candidate for the job, and it requests an interview.
