Tips for Writing Job Application

 Job Application

Job application is written piece of composition. It is a way of applying for job. It is the first step to enter for a job. Job applications are generally written to the head of company, institution, organization etc. Job applications are usually short and tight where your main attributes are stated. Sometimes, the content of the letter varies from one level to another.

Generally, there are mainly eight parts in job application. They are:

Applicant's address

At the beginning you should write the address of the sender on the top corner of right-hand side. In higher grades, it may be given in the question too.

Date

Under sender's address, you have to write the date. For the students of higher grades students, the date may be given in the question.

Inside address (Receiver's address)

In this section you can begin like "To, The General Manager/ The Head Teacher/ The Co-Ordinator etc." Then you can write the name of company/institution/office etc. and its address.
