A company most of the time posted in
their website or to any newspaper with wide circulation the available job
vacancies and specific qualifications for the job. This is to reach as many applicants as
possible for them to select and shortlist possible qualified applicants to the vacant
job. This posting of job if done on
newspaper had cost them for the space and thus, it is being monitored too. For all you know, the more applicants will
apply the better for them to select the best and highly qualified applicant for
the job.
This is why it is important to include
in your application letter where you found the job posting. This will give them idea that you are a keen
observer to details which is actually one of the requirements needed to any of the
job. This will be a plus point to such
applicant as such question will be asked later how you found the job posting.
The manager or the human resource
section of such company knew exactly what they should be looking and they are
also aware that only those professionally qualified will apply on their job
posting, particularly if the job vacancy posting is done on newspapers.
One or two sentences indicating how you
found the job posting is more than enough.
You don’t need to write a paragraph for this. “I found your job posting in newspaper (the
name of the newspaper) and I was interested because I am qualified for the
position,” sentence is enough. Do not state “I feel I am qualified” and the likes
are not advisable as this indicates a negative view. Instead, state you are qualified based on
your academic qualification and experiences if any.
Well, if you got the job vacancy information
from a friend, relative or you just heard it on a conversation by people you do
not have connections with, so be it, mention it on your application
letter. This will make the reader of
your application letter or the HR manager that you are interested to the job.
