Lesson 12 Job application. Giving Feedback

LESSON 12

Job application. Giving Feedback
A job application letter, also known as a cover letter, should be sent or uploaded with your resume when applying for jobs. While your resume offers a history of your work experience and an outline of your skills and accomplishments, the job application letter you send to an employer explains why you are qualified for the position and should be selected for an interview.

Writing this letter can seem like a challenging task. However, if you take it one step at a time, you'll soon be an expert at writing application letters to send with your resume.

Some people may not take well to criticism, but as a professional, it's the only way to grow. Businesses and academic departments can benefit by having outside reviewers come in and give honest feedback on how to improve daily operations. After review, the reviewer will write a detailed professional letter to give feedback in specific areas where a business may be lacking.

Start With a Professional Letterhead

Write your feedback letter on professional-looking letterhead. Letterhead establishes your professional credentials and creates a solid, credible appearance. Type "Dear Ms./Mr. (Supervisor's name)" followed by a colon. Skip another line space. Type the full date. Skip a line space.
