What is a Job Application Letter?

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 letter of application is intended to provide
detailed information on why you are a qualified candidate for the job.

Effective application letters explain the reasons for your interest in the

specific organization and identify your most relevant skills.

Your application letter should let the employer know what position you are
applying for, what makes you a strong candidate, why they should select you
for an interview, and how you will follow up.

Sample Email Cover Letter Template

The following is a sample email cover letter to send as part of a job

application.

Email Application Letter Example

Subject: Colleen Warren - Web Content Manager Position

Dear Hiring Manager,

I'm writing to express my interest in the Web Content Manager position listed
on Monster.com. I have experience building large, consumer-focused health-
based content sites. While much of my experience has been in the business
world, I understand the social value of this sector and I am confident that my
business experience will be an asset to your organization.

My responsibilities have included the development and management of:

website editorial voice and style; editorial calendars; and the daily content
programming and production for various websites.

I have worked closely with healthcare professionals and medical editors to

help them to provide the best possible information to a consumer audience of
patients. I have also helped physicians to use their medical content to write
user-friendly and easily comprehensible text.

Experience has taught me how to build strong relationships with all

departments in an organization. I have the ability to work within a team as
well as cross-team. I can work with web engineers to resolve technical issues
and implement technical enhancements. 

I am confident working with development departments to implement design

and functional enhancements, and to monitor site statistics and conduct
search engine optimization.

Thank you for your consideration.

How to Send an Email Application Letter

If sending your cover letter via email, list your name and the job title you are
applying for in the subject line of the email. Include your contact information
in your email signature but don't list the employer's contact information. Skip
the date and start your email message with the salutation. Here's an example
of a formatted email cover letter.

Tips for Writing a Strong Cover Letter

A cover letter can either help or harm you. To ensure that your application
supports rather than detracts from your resume, follow these tips:

Get off to a direct start: In your first paragraph, explain why you are writing.
Mention the job title and company name, and also where you came across
the job listing. While you can also briefly mention why you are a strong
candidate, this section should be short and to-the-point.

Offer something different than what's in your resume:

You can make your language a bit more personal than in your resume bullet
points, and you can tell a narrative about your work experience and career.

It's rare to send an application letter without also sending a resume. Your
application letter, therefore, should highlight information that your resume
doesn't.

Make a good case. Your first goal with this letter is to progress to the next

letter. You can also share your contact information. If you'd like, mention how
you will follow up.
