Formal writing 

An application letter is a document that expresses your interest in a position. This document describes your personality and background as an individual and a professional. The purpose is to convince hiring managers that you have the required qualifications and are the best fit for the position.

Application letters enable you to impress potential employers and show them that you're familiar with the organization. It's also an opportunity to express how your goals align with those of the company. 

1: research

Application letters must be unique to the company and position you're applying for. Before you begin writing, read the job opening well to understand what the role entails. Your application letter should contain pertinent details about the company to inform a hiring manager you prepared and reviewed information before writing.

2: interest

Write an engaging and easy-to-read introduction to capture the hiring manager's interest. Include the job title and where you found the posting. Mentioning your interest in the specific role helps your reader understand that your cover letter isn't a generic or copied template. Include information from the job opening.

3: qualifications and experience

After writing your introduction, highlight your skills, qualifications and experience in your application letter. Position this section to align with the company's goals. For example, if you're applying for an electrical engineering role, express how your experience as an electrician can help an organization reach its electrical testing targets.

4: personality

While an application letter should be formal, making it friendly appeals more to your reader. Include aspects of your personality so your reader understands how and why you're a good fit for their organization. For example, if you're applying for a cashier role, explain that you're outgoing and value integrity because you understand your position requires those personality traits.

Today's reflection

8. Afsluiting

De docent controleert in de slotfase van de les of de leerdoelen door alle leerlingen behaald zijn en plaatst de les in de context van de betreffende Unit. De docent evalueert samen met de leerlingen het leren en het gedrag op basis van het Learner Profile en de ATL-skills. Dit wordt vastgelegd in Toddle. Samen blikken docent en leerlingen vooruit aan de hand van de JdW-planner.
