objective on some versions of the resume, but not others. If necessary
objective should be simple and concise; it is never necessary to have a
long-winded statement. Objective which make the employer guess what
the Job seeker wants to do in future is of no use. Make sure the employer
knows either the industry candidate wants to work in, or the type of work
Job seeker wants to do, or the skills Job seeker wants to apply, or some

it is a CV not an affidavit. There is no need for it at all. It is redundant an
it just occupies space. Moreover there is no need to sign the resum,
except when recruiters have specifically asked to do so. Signatures on
resume proved to stamp of the authenticity before the days of th,
internet. They are seldom in practices these days. However there ar
companies who receives resumes in the form of a hardcopy and d;
instruct potential Job seekers to sign their resumes as a part of their Ky
norms. Unless or otherwise requested there is no real necessity to sig
the resume. But if the CV is not sent via Mail but by old means of
communication is being used then a signature at the end of the resume
in a way acts as a validation by the job seeker that the details mention
in the resume are true. It is proper business etiquette and obligatory t
sign job application letter and CV if sent by old means of communication.
However, if candidates are sending an email cover letter and resume, @
signature is not necessary at all. Again signing the resume or not is
judgmental if not requested by prospective employer.
We can observe from the aforesaid points that few of the contents
are judgmental and other points are mandatory in resume
4.7 DRAFTING OF JOB APPLICATION LETTER
Job application is the most comprehensive tool used by employets
when evaluating potential employees. Unlike resumes and cover letters ~
which can be cleverly crafted and skillfully structured to the applicant®
advantage - a job application minimizes any chances for fluff and
embellishment, focusing instead on fundamental and factual information
to provide a transparent picture of the job applicant. Consider ea!
the eight parts of a job application thoughtfully and accurately t© prese"
a thorough and honest composite to potential employers. since =
application letter is a sales letter, it must be written on the principles
the ‘you’ attitude, There is an interesting paradox involved here,
applicant is required to write ‘what I am’ and ‘what I have’, but he °

not difficult to resolve this paradox. Before he settles down to ™

cation letter, the applicant must ask himself, "What have I got that
mployer can use profitably?”
4, The Writer's Address and Date: Generally, the writer's address
js written at the right-hand top corner of the letter. The date
invariably forms a part of the writer's address. However, this
address can also be written at the left-hand top corner. In such a
case, it is good to say ‘From’ before beginning the address in the
next line. This would then require writing ‘To’ before writing the
inside address. Also, in this case, the date is written at the end of
the letter, beginning with the left-hand margin and on the same
line where complimentary close is written.
The Inside Address: This depends upon whether the application
is in response to an advertisement or is an unsolicited
application.
(a) If it is in Response to an Advertisement: The advertise-
ment may contain the name (ie, the position and not the
personal name) of the officer to whom the letter is to be
addressed. In that case, the inside address will start with the
status-name of that officer:
The Personnel Manager,
National Rubber Ltd.,
Mumbai.
Or
The Manager,
Indian Engineering Instruments,
Benguluru.
‘Sometimes the advertiser does not mention the name of
the officer to whom the application is to be addressed nor is
there any identification of the advertiser. The advertisement
simply contains a Box or Bag Number to which the
application is to be sent. In such a-case, the inside address
would be:
The Advertiser,
Post Box No. 1234
Delhi- 110006 (if the Post Office Box or Bag Number is
given.)
The Advertiser,
Box No. 2468
The Times of India,
Mumbai. (if Box Number of the Newspaper is given.)

appropriate officer:

‘The Salutation: In almost all types of application letters, "Dear
Sir” is the common salutation used.
The Opening Paragraph: As in a sales letter, the opening
paragraph should attract the attention of the reader and arouse
his interest to read the letter further. Since the letter is not about
2 ‘product, itis difficult to have an objective point of view in the
‘opener’ of the letter. What is required is to give a brief direct

[4.8 JOB APPLICATION SAMPLES
There are subtle differences between application letters and cover
letters. However, the terms cover and application are sometimes used
interchangeably. An application letter is often intended to stand on its
‘own, whereas a cover letter generally can't be the applicant's only
document submitted to express interest iia job opening, Cover letter is.
always accompanied by resume as enclosure. But sometimes job
application is also accompanied by CV as enclosure/attachment.
The introduction in the cover letter or email should set the intent for
‘writing in the first place. While the subject will mention the purpose, the
reference to an advertisement, social media post, or even a conversation
with a common acquaintance will get the HR manager's attention. Bear in
mind. that the cover letter is for introducing job ‘seekers profile so
compellingly that the recipient feels the need to see more of job seeker
‘and the prospective employer picks up the phone to fix an interview
appointment at the earliest.
7. Complimentai
‘Where the resume is a series of chronological bullet points, the cover
letter isa chance for to be descriptive, however, within reasonable brevity
by mentioning the way the job seeker has helped his previous employe”
