Job Application
Points To Remember:
1. Job Application has two parts :
a ) Covering letter
b) CV / CURRICULUM VITAE/ RESUME
2. It is a formal letter and so the format for the same needs to be followed.
3. It should be precise and to-the-point devoid of any ambiguity.
4. A resume is enclosed to help the applicant focus on her/his qualifications
and skills.
5. While the forwarding letter has the same format as an official letter, a
curriculum vitae is written in a standardized format.
6. it is very important to remember that it is expected to stress on one’s
qualities but bragging or being ingratiating should be avoided.
