What to avoid in your letter of application example

  • Don’t draw attention to weaknesses.
  • Do not mention salary expectations. But, if asked for salary expectations, indicate that your salary expectations are negotiable. Also, let me work with you to help you negotiate a higher salary.
  • If your application letter is too long, the boss may not read your resume. Because they may not have time.
  • Avoid summarizing your resume in your simple application letter.
  • Don’t use “I” too much.

 

See application letter tips on how to write a letter of application example. Also see cover letter layout.

 

Use the above letter of application example as a sample. Then modify it to write your own simple application letter. Make an application letter for each online application.

 

  • The above letter of application example is for all professions. Even though I used teacher in this sample format. So use it whether you are a nurse, CEO, engineer or child care worker.
  • Keep a copy of each letter that you send.
