How to write Job Application Letter:

1. Review information about the company and position (mengulas informasi tentang
perusahaan dan posisi yang diinginkan)

Mengulas atau meninjau informasi perusahaan dan daftar posisi yang kalian temukan
pada lowongan kerja melalui situs web terlebih dahulu untuk memastikan apakah
posisi yang kalian minati cocok dengan keterampilan dan pengalaman yang kalian
miliki sehingga kalian dapat menulis detail informasi kalian dan menunjukkan minat
kalian pada posisi tersebut.

2. Open the letter by describing your interest (Menjelaskan ketertarikan kalian pada
bagian pembuka)
Setelah itu, mulailah untuk menulis surat lamaran kerja kalian. Pada paragraf pertama,
tulislah posisi pekerjaan yang kalian inginkan dan dimana kalian melihat lowongan
pekerjaan tersebut.

● Contoh: “I saw the posting for the marketing intern role on my university’s online job
board, and I am very interested. I’m drawn to your company’s mission of innovation
and putting the customer first. I am in my final year of earning my bachelor’s degree
in marketing with a minor in communications, so I feel my educational experience
has prepared me to work in a fast-paced marketing department like the one within
your organization.”

3. Outline your experience and qualifications (Tulis pengalaman dan kemampuan kalian)
Kemudian pada beberapa paragraf berikutnya, tuliskan pengalaman, kemampuan, dan
keterampilan kalian yang sesuai dengan apa yang dicari perusahaan dan posisi
pekerjaan tersebut.

● Over the course of my 1-year career, I’ve developed a skill set directly relevant to the
English Teacher role you are hiring for, including classroom management, students
services and adaptive teaching methods. Overall, I have consistently demonstrated
communication, language and critical thinking abilities in every aspect of my
assistant english teacher role at Brilliant Basic Course (BBC).

4. Include aspects of your personality (Sertakan aspek kepribadian kalian)

Jangan lupa untuk menyertakan aspek kepribadian kalian karena hal ini dapat
memberikan perusahaan gambaran seberapa cocok kalian dengan posisi yang sedang
mereka cari.
● Contoh: “I am also a hard-working professional who has been consistently praised as
adaptable by my co-workers and management”

5. Express appreciation (Mengapresiasi)

Sebelum menutup surat lamaran, sampaikan apresiasi kepada manajer perekrutan
karena telah bersedia membaca surat lamaran kalian dan mempertimbangkan kalian
untuk posisi yang mereka cari.
● Contoh: “I appreciate the time you have taken to review my application letter. Since
you likely received a number of applications and letters for this open position, I am
extremely grateful for the time you have spent reading about me and what would make
me a good fit for this role.”

6. Close the letter (Penutup)

Biasanya menggunakan kalimat “Yours sincerely” atau “Yours faithfully”. Jangan
lupa untuk menambahkan tanda tangan dan tulis nama lengkap dibawah tanda tangan
tersebut

Berikut adalah contoh job vacancy (lowongan kerja) beserta application
