What to Include in a Job Application Letter The information that is included in a job application varies depending on what type of position you're applying for. For example, a cover letter written to apply for a job you've found online will be different than a letter written to apply for a promotion or transfer. Think of a application letter as a place to build the case for why you should be interviewed. Highlight your relevant skills, experience, and accomplishments in the letter, but make sure not to duplicate the information available within your resume.

In general, your letter should include: Contact information Greeting Introductory paragraph stating your interest in the job, and including the job title of the position you're applying for Two or three paragraphs highlighting your qualifications for the position A final paragraph offering to provide more information and reiterating your interest in the job and the company Closing Signature
