How To Write Job Application Letter Sample For Any Position

How To Write Job Application Letter Sample For Any Position

It has become increasingly necessary for job seekers to submit an application letter alongside their resume during the job application process . 

But why is this so important? 

First, attaching an application letter helps to set you apart from other applicants and research has shown that about half of recruiters reject job applications without application letters. 

So if you're currently job hunting and want to increase your chances of having your resume read and landing an interview, then you need to learn how to write the perfect job application letter. 

Now we understand that writing application letters every single time you're applying for a new post can be exhausting. Some of these job openings have a really short application window, leaving you with little to no time to craft out something good from scratch.  That is why we have created the perfect job application letter template for any position with a sample you can swipe in a minute. 

What Is An Application Letter?

An application letter is a document that can either be attached to your resume, sent in the body of an email or sent as a standalone document to a potential employer, with the sole purpose of expressing your interest in an open job position. 

A well-written application letter should give the reader a good reason why you should be called in for an interview and must also highlight key skills and qualifications that make you a great fit for the role being advertised.

Aside from showcasing your job-worthy qualifications, an application letter is a great way of showing your personality and familiarity with the company you're applying to. Feel free to mention your professional goals and aspirations and how they align with the company goals. 

What Is The Format Of A Job Application Letter?

When writing a job application letter, you are expected to follow a business letter format. There's also a slight difference when formatting depending on the medium through which it will be sent. 

Here are three easy steps on how to format a job application letter

Use a professional format- you must keep your application letter professional and precise. This means that your document must include single line spacing, one-inch margins and left alignment. Avoid using fancy fonts and stick to more traditional ones like Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri.  Your font size should be between 10 to 12 points and keep the letter one page long. 

Create the heading- use a formal business letter heading if you are submitting a hard copy application. This includes your name and contact information, the date, company name and address. Example of the header:

[Your name]

[Your City]

[Your phone number]

[ Your email address]

[Name of hiring manager]

[Title of hiring manager]

[Company name]

[Company address]

Including your contact information, makes it easy for the hiring manager to follow up with you regarding the job. 

The major difference between formatting a hardcopy application letter and an email is in the heading. For an email, you'll need to include a catchy subject line that clearly states your purpose for writing. This will determine if your email gets opened and is read. A simple email application subject line would be "Videographer - Michael Williams". And unlike in a hardcopy version where your contact information is written at the top of the letter, with email, you can place it below your signature.  

Address the letter to the hiring manager-  Find out the name of the person in charge and address the letter to this person using a common business greeting like Dear Mr/Mrs and their Last Name. If you don't know their gender and which pronouns to use, you can write your greeting as "Dear First and Last Name". And if you're unable to find their names, a simple "Dear Hiring manager will work just fine.

Best Tips For Writing An Application Letter

When writing an application letter, make sure to incorporate the following tips to increase the effectiveness of your letter.

1 . Always send an application letter 

You should always send an application letter with your resume for every job you're applying for unless the job ad specifically says not to send one. An application letter helps the employer to learn more about you than they would have from reading just your resume and it also sets you apart from other applicants.

2 . Use keywords

Most job postings will include skills and abilities that they expect candidates to possess. Review the job posting to find out these keywords and incorporate them into your application letter to show the employer that you're a good fit for the role.

3 . Emphasize your skills and abilities

While your resume contains information on your skills and qualifications, an application letter offers your more room to sell yourself as the best candidate for that position. Instead of just listing your skills and accomplishments, give specific examples of how you applied your skills and abilities to situations that benefited the organisation. 

For example  instead of saying "I managed website content for ABC for 2 years" you can say " I created a content calendar consisting of four SEO-optimized articles per week for ABC's website which saw a 50% increase in organic traffic within 3 months"

4. Keep it brief

While sharing your skills and accomplishments, don't forget to only mention the important stuff and keep it short. Your application letter should be a page long, so focus on mentioning only those things that relate to the position you're applying for.

5. Proofread the letter

Don't be in such a hurry to write and submit your application letter without proofreading and editing. Maintain your professional approach by making sure that your letter is error-free. Check for spelling mistakes, punctuations and proper spacing before you click the send button. 

What To Say In A Job Application Letter

If you find yourself struggling with what to say in your application letter, you're not alone. Here are the key things to mention in your application letter.

1 . Express your interest

In the first paragraph of your letter, you're expected to express your interest in the role being advertised. Make sure to convey your enthusiasm through your words. The hiring manager should be able to tell from the tone of the letter that you're excited about working with them and that this is not just another routine letter that you're sending to every other company.  

❌  "In response to your job ad for a Graphic designer, I would like to indicate my interest in the position" 

✔️ "As a lifelong enthusiast of ABC's marketing initiatives, I was thrilled to see your posting for the position of a Graphics designer in your marketing team".

2.  List your experience and qualifications

Right after you have shown interest in the job being advertised, mention your skills, experience and qualifications in a way that aligns with the company's mission and goals.  For example, if the role you're applying for is in the financial sector, you can emphasize how you have worked within the accounting department at your previous job.

3. Mention your best personality traits

While maintaining a professional approach,  don't forget to mention your best personality traits that show your potential employer that you're friendly and easy-going. If the job requires you to work with a team, you can explain how you value community spirit.

4. Express appreciation

Before your sign off your letter, remember to appreciate the hiring manager for taking out time to read what you have written. 

5. Close the letter

 Avoid focusing on how much you need the job and instead place emphasis on what you have to offer. Also, avoid repeating cliche phrases like " thanks for your time and consideration" instead close with a promise. A simple way to go about this is to tell the hiring manager that you're looking forward to an interview with them so you can discuss how your knowledge and experience can help them achieve the company's future goals. 

To sign off, instead of using "Sincerely" you can replace it with other synonyms like " Best regards", or "Respectfully yours".

6. Add a postscript

All of the above are must-haves in your application letter but this last one is optional. Adding a postscript is a special trick that some people use. The postscript P.S screams "important information that you cannot miss" it draws the reader's attention and leaves them wanting more, hence earning you at least a callback or an interview. You can use this to tell the hiring manager something impressive about your career and say that you'd like to share more details if they are interested. 

How To Send A Job Application Letter

There are three ways you can send your application letter, you either submit it through the company’s recruitment portal or via email or a hardcopy alongside your resume in an envelope to the physical address of the company.

Since most companies now digitize their application processes, sending a job application letter through email has become the most popular option. When sending via email, make sure to use a subject line that contains your name and the position you're applying for.

Job Application Letter  Template

Contact Information (if you are submitting a hard copy. Not necessary for online applications)

Phone Number

Email address

Employer's Contact Information (if you are submitting a hard copy. Not necessary for online applications)

City, state

Dear Mr/Ms Last Name or Dear Hiring manager (if you don't have the name of the person in charge)

Body of Application Letter

The body of your application letter is where you show your interest in the job, the position you're applying for, and mention solid reasons why the employer should grant you an interview. It should include about three to four paragraphs and not be more than one page long.

First Paragraph - mention where you saw the job posting, include the name of a mutual contact where applicable, and express your interest in the position

Middle Paragraph- this paragraph can be broken down into two, and for easy comprehension, you can use bullet points to state and explain your experiences and accomplishments.

Final Paragraph- thank the hiring manager for reviewing your letter and including follow-up information.

Sincerely, Best regards

How to write an official letter

An official letter is any written correspondence whose purpose is to communicate an official concern. Official letters are also known as formal letters or business letters. There are several types of formal letters, and each one centers around a specific theme. The most commonly known official letters include application letters, cover letters, letters of recommendation, letters of resignation, confirmation Letters, acknowledgement letters, inquiry letters, adjustment letters, follow-up letters and complaint letters. Despite their different target audiences, all these letters share a hint of similarity when it comes to formatting, diction and writing style. Are you looking to get shortlisted for an interview but unsure on how to write an official letter? The following article will explore tips for writing a formal letter as well as the proper layout to use so that your message is conveyed in the right manner.

Guidelines to Writing an Official Letter

Before we embark on the format of a formal letter, let’s first examine essential tips that will help you in your formal letter writing.

official application letter format in kenya

A comprehensive guide on how to write reminder email effectively

  • When writing an official letter, one must be concise and straight to the point without losing the intended message.
  • You must always use a professional tone throughout the letter, and informal language such as contractions are not admissible in formal correspondence.
  • When using an official letter template, remember to tailor it to suit your needs instead of copying everything and adding simple name or address edits.

The layout of Writing an Official Letter

There are two primary official letter formats;

  • The traditional block style
  • The Administrative Management Style (AMS)

Of the two styles used to write letters, the Block layout is the most frequently used format for business letters. In this style of writing, all the text is aligned to the left and single-spaced. The only time one is allowed to use double spacing in the block formal letter format is between paragraphs as it brings the transition without the to indent your text. Below is the sample template of the block letter format.

official application letter format in kenya

How to write a report (with samples)

How to write an official letter, official letter format, official letter example

The block format has salutation and closing and is best suited for letters to companies you are applying to or to an individual you have met before.

Administrative Management Style (AMS), on the other hand, is more concise. This makes it better suited for internal memos and instances when you have to be very direct. A modified version of the Block format is the Semi-Block official letter where all text is left aligned except the sender’s information at the top, and then the paragraphs are indented while the correspondent’s information remains indented at the same position.

How to write an Official Letter (Administrative Management Style)

1. the sender address.

A proper official letter must begin with the sender’s address that must place at the top right-hand corner of the document. In the sender address, include your full names and postal details. Currently, mobile numbers and email addresses are proving to be more valuable than postal addresses so remember to include them in your author’s address.

Complete guide to writing an effective appointment letter

Here is a sample of how a sender’s address needs to appear;

June Mwangi

P.O Box 12345-00200

Nairobi, Kenya

+254722123456

[email protected]

2. Date of the letter

Place the date one line below the author’s address. The date gives a reference point that future correspondence can refer to to either bring some sense of continuity or avoid confusion if you wrote more than one letter. Furthermore, if you are planning on saving a copy of the correspondence either for future generations or for legal reasons then having the date is crucial. When writing the date, remember to write the month as a word in full and to put a comma in between the month and the year. For instance: 31st July, 2018.

3. Recipient’s Address

After the date, draft the receiver’s address on the left-hand side of the letter. Remember to include the title of the recipient that is Mr., Miss, Mrs., Dr., Etc., before their name and followed with their job position on the next line. Afterward, include their postal address as well as the city and country. Always aim to research the receiver of your official letter so that you can know the title to use as well as their names. In case the recipient remains unknown to you. Put the title of the recipient only.

4. Salutation/ Greeting

Dear Sir/Madam,

This phrase is used as a salutation when the person writing the official letter does not know the receiver. Please note that it is always recommended that you research the recipient of the letter beforehand.

  • Dear Ms. Mwangi,

This form of salutation is incorporated when the sender knows the recipient of the official letter. Always use the title and the surname only. In case the recipient is a lady, and you do not know her preferred title then use Ms. which is appropriate for both single and married women.

5. Subject line

The subject line at a glance tells the recipient what the letter addresses. For example, if it’s an application letter, then you will need to indicate the position being applied for as well as the unique job reference number in the advertisement if it was present.

6. The body of the Letter

The body is the central part of the letter, and it should convey in only three paragraphs or less. If you have more than three paragraphs when writing a formal letter, then you are not as concise as earlier pointed out in this article. Use a friendly opening then state the intention of writing the letter within the first paragraph. In the second paragraph, provide concrete examples that will accentuate your points. Later in the final paragraph of the body, give a summary of why you wrote the letter then advise on how to proceed further. Here is a template of the AMS formal letter format.

7. Closing the Letter

Yours Faithfully,

When the recipient of the letter is unknown, use this as the ending, and then leave a space for a hand-written signature followed by your full names and title in brackets.

  • Yours Sincerely,

If you know the name of the recipient, then close the letter this way.

8. Proofread the Letter

The final step that most people forget is to double check spelling and grammatical errors; this is an important step that should not skip as misspelled words and grammar errors are inexcusable in business letters.

Below is a sample of an official letter in the block format

31st July 2018.

The Human Resources Manager

ABC Corporation

P.O. Box 67890-00100

Nairobi, Kenya.

RE: APPLICATION FOR THE ACCOUNTANT POSITION

I am writing to apply for the post of an Accountant following your online advertisement. I am a Bachelor of Commerce, Finance Option degree holder with experience in financial management sector. I am also a CPA (K).

Avatar photo

Last updated on October 15th, 2023 at 09:11 pm

Are you a student looking to gain practical experience in your field of study in Kenya?

An industrial attachment can provide you with valuable insights and hands-on learning opportunities.

However, to secure an attachment position in Kenya, you’ll need to write a compelling application letter.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of crafting an effective application letter in Kenya that will grab the attention of potential employers.

Table of Contents

1. Crafting a Clear and Concise Subject Line

When composing your email, start with a subject line that captures the essence of your application. Keep it brief yet informative, so the recipient knows exactly what to expect.

For example, “Application for Attachment Position in [Company Name]” would work splendidly. It’s time to make a memorable first impression!

2. Introduce Yourself and Express Your Interest

In the body of your email, begin by introducing yourself and expressing your sincere interest in the attachment position.

Provide a brief overview of your educational background and any relevant work experience you have accumulated thus far.

Emphasize how your studies and previous engagements have prepared you for this opportunity.

3. Showcase Your Skills and Relevant Experience

This is your chance to shine!

Highlight your most notable skills and experiences that directly align with the requirements of the attachment position. Stand out from the crowd by conveying how your unique skill set will be an asset to the company.

Remember, humor can be an effective way to inject some personality into your letter. Just don’t overdo it; professionalism should always remain a priority.

4. Demonstrate Your Fit with the Company

Express your genuine interest in the company and explain why you believe it is the perfect fit for you.

Research the organization thoroughly and identify specific aspects that align with your goals and values. This demonstrates your dedication and shows that you’ve taken the time to understand their mission and work.

5. Request an Interview or Meeting

Now that you’ve captured their attention, it’s time to take the next step.

Politely request an interview or meeting to discuss your application further. This demonstrates your eagerness and provides an opportunity for them to learn more about you.

Be confident and enthusiastic, showcasing your willingness to contribute to their team’s success.

6. Proofread, Proofread, Proofread!

Before you hit that send button, ensure your email is free of grammatical errors and typos.

Take the time to carefully proofread your application to make a favorable impression. Silly mistakes can be distracting and may undermine your credibility.

So, give it one final read-through before you let it fly into the digital realm.

Example Application Request for an Attachment in Kenya:

Subject: Application for Attachment Position in [Company Name]

6 Tips to write the perfect letter of recommendation

Letter of recommendation sample.

A letter of recommendation (LOR), also known as a letter of reference, is a necessary document when applying for universities or scholarships abroad. .

As a student or scholarship applicant, it is important to request a recommendation letter from a teacher, mentor, supervisor or manager. This letter provides valuable insight for the university admission committee, allowing them to learn more about you and your abilities. It serves as a powerful tool that highlights your skills and capabilities, as acknowledged by your referee.

In general, selecting professors, tutors and individuals with whom you have closely collaborated is highly recommended as referees for providing comprehensive knowledge about your abilities and work. It would be advantageous if the referee possesses a certain level of expertise or professionalism in the field relevant to your application.

If you have professional experience in a field closely associated with the university program you intend to apply for, you may also consider having your managers or employer write the reference letter. Including a note explaining your referee selection and the reasons behind choosing them to write your reference letter is advisable.

Asking for a letter of recommendation can sometimes feel a bit daunting, but with the right approach, it doesn't have to be.  Here are some tips on how to ask for a letter of recommendation:

1. Choose the right person:  Pick someone who knows your strengths, skills and personal characteristics well. This could be a professor, supervisor or mentor who has a solid understanding of who you are.

2. Ask in advance:  Give the person enough time to write the letter. It's best to ask at least a few weeks before the deadline or when you need the letter.

3. Personalise your request:  When reaching out, remind the person of your achievements and experiences together. Explain why you are seeking their recommendation and how it aligns with your future goals.

4. Provide necessary information:  Make it easy for the person to write the letter by providing relevant information such as your resume, transcripts, and a summary of the program you are applying for.

5. Follow up with gratitude: Once the person agrees to write the letter, express your gratitude and thank them for their time and support. After they have submitted the letter, be sure to send a thank-you note to show your appreciation.

Remember, a well-written letter of recommendation can make a significant impact on your future opportunities, so it's worth taking the time to ask for one thoughtfully and politely.

What should be written in a letter of recommendation

A good recommendation letter or letter of reference should always include these 4 main components: 

A paragraph that explains the relationship with the student/applicant. 

The referee’s assessment of the student/ applicant’s interests, skills and ability to study at the university. 

Examples of the student/applicant’s achievements whether inside or outside school (e.g., voluntary activities) 

A summary that includes the reasons for recommending the student/applicant to the university or scholarship, or why the referee thinks that the university should accept the student/applicant there. 

1. Be careful when choosing someone to write your recommendation letter. The best letter comes from someone who willingly agrees and is not forced to write it. It should be from someone who has the authority and position that adds weight to the letter. Remember, a poorly written or rushed letter is worse than having no letter at all.

2. Tell your referee why you need a recommendation letter from them. It is very important to give your referee a brief about the course or scholarships you’re applying for before they write the LOR. Also, make sure to provide them with the dates for submitting the recommendation letter.

3. The recommendation letter (LOR) should be concise, clear, and focused in order to have the greatest impact. It is crucial to remember that the LOR is a separate document and should never be mixed with a resume. This is a significant reason why applicants may face rejection or refusal.

4. The LOR should highlight the qualities and unique contributions that you would bring to the university. It should discuss the positive changes, impact and new learning that you can contribute. Including comparisons can strengthen your LOR, but only if they are accompanied by examples that provide true context and a rationale for the comparison. For example, you can mention how you stood out among a specific number of students in a class taught by the recommender and provide examples of the initiatives you took.

5. Please keep in mind that a letter of recommendation should avoid discussing grades or scores from competitive tests, unless they are essential for understanding specific academic information. These scores are already provided in your application, so there is no need to reiterate them in the recommendation letter.

6. Any private or sensitive information about you should be included only if it has any relevance or unless considered absolutely necessary.

A letter of recommendation is a powerful tool that can greatly influence your chances of getting accepted into a desired academic program to give you an idea of what a well-crafted letter of recommendation looks like, here's a sample that you can use as a reference:

(Your Name) (Your Title) (Your Organisation) [Your Contact Information] [Date]

Dear [Recipient's Name],

Must See!! Free Sample Cover Letter To Use When Applying For Internships

Choose your goal below:

A cover letter is usually the first thing recruiters go through before they decide whether or not to look at your CV . They use this method to eliminate some applicants so that they don’t have to go through hundreds of CV’s. This means that when drafting your cover letter you need to ensure that it is compelling enough to make the recruiter look at your CV. You can do this by ensuring that your application letter not only sells your skills  but also doesn’t have careless mistakes because sometimes this can be used against you. Always ensure you double check the cover letter before sending.

Here are A Few Things To Check Before Sending Your Cover Letter

1. The Hiring Manager’s Name Before you send that beautifully written cover letter, you need to ensure that you have used the right name on the recievers address. You do not want to address your letter to the wrong person. It is important to use the person’s name as opposed to writing Dear Sir/Madam or to whom it may concern. This will make the hiring manager know that you spent the time to research on the organisation. So ensure you use the right name as well as the right spelling. 2. The Organisation’s Name The one thing you have to ensure you get right is the company name. Before you send out your application it is important that you double check that the company name you have used is correct. Otherwise, how can someone hire you when you do not even know the name of the organisation? 3. Your Contact Information Surprisingly, most people get this wrong. If your contact details are not correct it will be very difficult for the recruiter to contact you when they want to invite you for an interview. This means they will move on to the next person. You need to ensure that you have used the correct telephone number and email and that you have access to both. Your number needs to be working and your email should not be one you forgot the password to. Must Read >>> 3 Clever Ways To Indicate Your Expected Salary in A Cover Letter 4. Dates You might be wondering how one gets the date wrong but you would be surprised how many people send out applications with the wrong dates. This mostly happens when you have used the same Cover Letter for every job you apply for which is not advisable. You don’t want to apply for a job with a cover letter showing it was written the year before. It shows carelessness and no one want to hire a careless person. 5. Length Most organisations have a limit as to how many words your letter can have and as such you should ensure that your Cover Letter is not too long. You do not want to bore the hiring manager. Ideally, a cover letter is supposed to be short. Try and have only information that is relevant to the job in the cover letter you send. The rest of the information is covered in your CV anyway.

Sample industrial attachment letter and how to write an industrial attachment application letter

Last updated on: June 14, 2023 by Kenyayote Reporter 55 Comments

Industrial attachment also known by many as internship normally lasts for three months but the duration differs from institution to institution. Some companies pay for industrial attachment while others do not pay (in an article we had written earlier, we provided a list of companies that pay for industrial attachment).  To increase your chances of getting an industrial attachment you have to write an appealing attachment letter.

When writing an industrial attachment application letter or internship application letter be precise and ensure that there are no grammatical or spelling errors in your letter.  Company directors have no time to read very long letters.  Also, ensure that you have attached your CV to accompany your industrial attachment application letter.  Do not be worried about the content in your CV, the company directors or human resource department understand that you are a student so they don’t expect much in your CV.

How to write application letter: Formal format

  •  At the top of the application letter should be your address then followed by the address of the company or receiver. It is not advisable to write your name at the top of a letter.   (Check for the sample application letter below)
  • Thereafter the salutation .  Use  Sir or Madam if you do not know the name of the person you are writing to.
  • Reference (This is the title of the application letter) example Application for internship in the engineering department
  • Opening paragraph : This paragraph should state the position you are applying to or for and how you knew of the position. It should also contain a basic introduction of who you are.
  • Body paragraph : Explain why you are interested in the position you are applying for, demonstrate your understanding of the position, talk about your qualification and skills in brief as they will be contained in your CV.
  • Conclusion Paragraph : State that you are ready to take the opportunity fairly. Thank the employer for her/his consideration in advance.
  • Closing remarks or complimentary remarks: End your letter “Yours Sincerely”  if you have begun it with a person’s title and family name. If you have begun “Dear Sir or Madam”, then end your letter “Yours faithfully”
