3. Steps for Writing a Job Application Letter
a. Understand the format, and fill in the content according to that form.
b. Make a list of all the information to go in the letter.
c. Be brief, so the letter can fit onto a single page. Set out the text with wide
margins. Position your address, the employer’s address, and the subject of the
letter in the correct spaces. The subject must be cantered at the top.
d. Start by stating the reason for the letter.

e. Contain the important parts in three paragraphs, to ensure the main points are
clear.
f. Most job application letters have no letterhead, because they originate from an
individual. So the message must be placed in the middle, underneath the
applicant’s address on the right, between a greeting and a salutation.
g. The greeting starts, “Dear [Name]”. Always address the employer by their
formal name. It is “Dear Mr. Jones,” not “Dear Larry.”
h. The salutation must be formal, such as “Yours faithfully,” or “Yours sincerely.”
i. Type your full name in upper case below your legal signature.
j. Job application letters are customarily formatted in block style, without indents,
with all lines aligned left. Aligning all paragraphs to the left is more legible than
full justification.
