Selling yourself via the application letter

We are not just looking for specific job to submit our CV and with the application letter as cover letter or when we searched for one, we don't just send our application letter.  We make sure that before we apply, we have the knowledge and capacity to handle the vacant position posted.

You are not the only one with this line of thinking as there are also people with the same knowledge and capacity as yours and are also targeting the same job you want to have.  This makes the rivalry or competition more tough as a number of applicants may rise as job posted is being scattered through publication or word of mouth.  Obviously, the company will only stop accepting applicants on specified date.  This means, applicants will continue to come in.

But the real situation in selecting the possible additional manpower of such business or company is only one - to make sure that the person selected will be of great help to the company.  And you know what?  The HR manager at first, shortlisted applicants whom he/she thinks is qualified for the position base on the application letter and CV received.  

The short listing of possible applicants starts from reading the application letter.  At a glance of the HR Manager or upon reading the application letter first paragraph, he she will determine if such can advance to the next process - the test or interview section.  This will only happen if you have that striking idea represented through words in your application letter.  

Grammar free is just one of the basic requirements.   Through reading your application letter over and over again will make you see other parts of the grammar you over see.  The delivery of your thought will be the second.  And the last, how you had narrated an experience that you  was once created a solution to such problem in the company included in your Work Experience indicated in your CV (I’ll be writing about this later). 

This is how important the application letter.  It can make you shortlisted and possibly advance for another step from your competitors in the job you are applying. I will write sample application letter to elaborate further the idea I am telling here.  For now, I would like to suggest you start writing your application letter and compare to the one I'll be making later.
