Study Notes

When applying for a job, employers typically request an application letter and an updated copy of the résumé.
These documents may be submitted through various channels, including standard mail, online application forms, fax, or email.

An application letter is a sales letter that markets the applicant's skills, abilities, and knowledge.
It must be persuasive and serve as a cover letter that introduces the applicant and their résumé.
A successful application letter accomplishes four tasks:
- Catches the reader's attention by highlighting the applicant's skills and their contribution to the organization.
- Explains which job interests the applicant and why.
- Convinces the reader of the applicant's qualifications by highlighting impressive achievements.
- Requests an interview.

Express gratitude to the company for accommodating your application.
