Maybe you haven’t written an application letter before. That’s ok because it means you are starting off fresh.
Application letters are the fastest way to tell an employer exactly who you are and what you can do. It is simply your resume shortened into a few paragraphs and employers love them.
While some people think application letters are old fashioned, employers see it as doing them a favour. Application letters follow a simple process – why you are applying for the job, how your experience and abilities relate to the role you’re applying for, why you would be great for the role and asking for an interview.
