A letter for a job application is a very important letter.
The way you present the letter is your first introduction
to the person who could be your new employer. As luck
would have it, there is a standard format for this kind of
letter, and this makes the letter much easier to write.
There are four basic pieces of information you need to
include in a covering letter for a job application.
1. Name the job you are applying for and where you
found out about it. For example, name the
newspaper where the ad. appeared and the date when
it was printed.
2. Include some information about yourself. This is
not necessary if you are including a CV.
3. Give the name, address and phone number of two
people who will recommend you to the potential
employer. It is best if one of these is a personal
referee and one is a work referee.
4. State the times when you will be available for an
interview.
