2. Tips for writing winning application letters
Write the letter to a specific person – the person you think is the one who would hire you.
Be specific about the job you are seeking – hirers are not your employment counselor
Do your research – demonstrate that you know something about the company
Tell the reader what you can do for the company
Individualize your letter
Be short and to the point
Make it easy on the eyes
Close with an invitation for the reader to act – “Please give me a call at XXXXX.”
