MELAKA
The importance 
A job application letter is your opportunity to make a 
great first impression with a potential employer. 
You want your letter to be a good representation of 
you and what you can bring to a position 
Write your letter in a clear style that is free of jargon 
and provides the potential employer with a good 
introduction to you 
The purpose of the letter is to get an interview, so 
make a strong case for why the employer would want 
to make sure you are one of the people brought in
The content 
Write an opening paragraph that explains why you are 
applying for the job. Include where you saw the 
posting and why you are a good fit for the position. 
Describe why you want to work for the business and 
what values you have that match the company's. 
Explain how you can help the organization meet its 
goals. 
Give examples of how your skills, experience and 
education match what the employer is looking for. 
Demonstrate these strengths with concrete evidence 
rather than just stating that you possess a particular 
skill. For example, briefly describe a creative solution 
you provided to a challenge at your last job rather 
than just calling yourself an innovative problem solver.
Match the job description's requirements with 
specific examples of your abilities and 
qualifications. Demonstrate how these 
qualifications of yours make you the best 
candidate for the opening and how they can help 
the organization meet its objectives. 
Write a closing paragraph that states your desire 
for an interview. Provide accurate contact 
information, including a cell phone number and 
an email address. If you are including additional 
information, such as a resume, sample work or 
references, state this in your closing paragraph.
Consider adding a chart that provides a quick 
visual of how your skills, qualifications and 
education match the requirements listed in the job 
description. This can be a powerful visual aid to 
support your job application letter. 
Carefully proofread your letter for grammar and 
spelling errors. Some employers automatically 
disqualify a candidate whose job application letter 
contains errors.
