This piece of paper must present you in such a way as to show the person who receives it that you are just the right person they are looking for.Men with good qualifications and experience fail to land a job because they do not write a good letter. They may have good potential but do not show it in their writing.Why Should You Learn How to Write a Good Application Letter?A potential employer usually makes a 'short list' of possible hires after looking at the letters of application he receives in response to his advertisement. These are the applications to which he will grant an interview. Your letter must be good enough to get you on that short list.Consider that staff selection is a time-consuming chore for the employer. If each interview lasts about 45 minutes, he will have to spend a whole working day just interviewing 12 applicants. Little wonder that he will keep his ‘short list’ as short as possible. That is why your letter must be effective.Don't Be Too ModestDo not humble yourself in your letter. Write respectfully, but do not over-emphasize your respect. Avoid the use of cliches about not being afraid or giving your best; if you get the job, it goes without saying that your employer will expect work hard and give your best, so telling him so in advance will not impress him. He is looking for personality and intelligence, and the personable and intelligent individual does not ‘soft-soap’ a potential employer this way.Let's assume you are seeking employment as a sales manager.
