Before you start:
Read the advert closely so that you can tailor your application to the requirements of the job
Research the organization: this will show prospective employers that you really are interested in them
General points
Keep it brief. You don’t need to give a lot of detail. What you are aiming for is a clear and concise explanation of your suitability for the job.
Begin your letter or email ‘Dear Mr/Mrs/Ms xxxx’ if you know the person’s name, or ‘Dear Sir or Madam’ if you don’t know their name.
Avoid inappropriate language such as slang or technical jargon.
Use brief, informative sentences and short paragraphs.
Check your spelling, grammar, and punctuation carefully. Some employers routinely discard job applications that contain such mistakes.
