How to persuade employer to read your whole Job Application?

How to write a catchy and standard job Application? A self-asked question; asked by many of my friends and job seekers on different forums…

Job Application

While writing a job application (even every type of application) we often use the words and phrases which we were used to write in the days of our primary school. Is this right to do so? We don’t focus the point of view and subject matter in our application and run the arrested words which leave a negative impact in the mind of reader.

Actually we don’t know the power of writing hence neglect the importance of application and suppose that it is just a formality to fulfill the requirement for applying a job. No, this point of view is absolutely wrong.

While during the scrutiny of job applications, the selection board or authority don’t have a big bag of time to read the whole contents of your application among a large number of applicant… So what should be done to compel the reader to read your whole job application? It is simple and easy to do so. You should catch the attention of the reader at his/her first eye on your application. For this you should apply the following parameters and steps to your applications;

1.     Application Format:

Formatting of your application should be attractive and professional. Formatting contains the page layout (paper and margins), font size and font styles.

2.     Subject:

The subject of your application should be concise, comprehensive and attractive. It should be bold, upper cased and underlined.

3.     Greeting:

Greeting is the backbone of an application and first thing which persuade employer to read it all. We often use “Sir” ”Dear Sir” ”Respected Sir”. I suggest that be creative and use new words like “Estimate Sir” Esteemed Sir” “August Sir”, but don’t rely only upon these phrases you may use new ideas giving more respect to the reader/employer while writing a job application.

4.     Purpose of application, source and reference:

Don’t use the arrested words here like others; try to be special among the thousands of applicants. Start from the phrase “with reference to your advertisement …” then write “I have the hounour to submit that …” and then carry out the rest of the paragraph.

5.     Describing yourself:

Be bold, be confidant, suppose yourself to be the top priority candidate for the current job. Express all about you, say some specialty you have, mention your contribution if any.

6.     Why I am hired?

Provide a strong statement claiming that you are the best suitable candidate for this job and you are hired because you have the following qualities which other candidates don’t have at all.

7.     Education and qualification:

Mention the short summary of your academic, professional qualification and relevant experience in a manner which may make you different from others. Don’t go in detail in this section if asked to provide a CV or Resume along with the job application.

8.     End and thanking the employer:

Everything has its end and without a good end the thing always fails. So as suggested that you should be creative and use special words in this paragraph which make your job application healthier.

9.     Your signature and date:

It is very important to mention date and place on the document. More make your signature design in a professional way; bold and under-bracket your name here in this section.
