What is a letter of application and how does it differ from a resume?
A letter of application introduces you to an employer and explains why you are a strong fit for a specific role. Unlike a resume, which lists qualifications and history, the letter tells a focused story connecting your skills to the job and motivates the employer to read further.
How should you structure a letter of application?
Open by naming the role and how you found it, then explain why you are interested and qualified, linking specific skills to the job requirements. Use a middle paragraph for evidence and achievements. Close by requesting an interview, thanking the reader, and including your contact details.
What are common mistakes in a letter of application?
Avoid generic text that could fit any job, simply repeating your resume, and focusing on what you want instead of what you offer. Skip spelling errors, an overly long format, and a missing call to action. Always tailor it to the specific role and employer.
