What's The Proper Format To Address A Cover Letter In Online Job Application? by Vesuvius(m): 10:37pm On Nov 23, 2014 |
Pls fellow Nairalanders, what is the best way to address your letter when applying for a job online? Does one first of all write out the two addresses (that of the job seeker and the employer) before the dear sir and the body of the letter or does one simply write out the application and route it to the recruiter's email address without following those conventional steps of formal letter writing? N.B: I know that Dear Sir or Dear recruiter at the beginning is alright coupled with yours faithfully at the end as obtains, but the issue of writing the addresses is what I want clarified since the applicant's email address and the recruiter's are already there. Your mature replies and other necessary things to note are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance! |

Vesuvius: I do this anyway. It is the standard protocol of creating cover letters so doing it online or in real life does not a difference make . |

Vesuvius: I mean you should first write both addresses then "dear sir" followed by the letter body just like writing a cover letter with pen and paper. At least thats what I do normally. After around 96 views you'd get very little in the way of replies. The only way you can get more is if this thread made frontpage. |

Vesuvius: Sending a cover letter via mail can be basically in two forms: 1. Writing the cover letter as a message in the space provided by your email provider and sending or 2. Sending the cover letter as an attachment. However, whichever means you decide to send your cover letter through, it should not be addressed the same way you would if you were writing with the conventional pen and paper. It is advisable that the cover letter be formatted like your CV (which of course will also be an accompanying document with your cover letter) when crafting it. Sending your cover letter is usually the more appropriate means as it allows for a professional feel and you don't run the risk of everything you've typed being jumbled together upon being received by the recruiter. Hope this helps. #Insidify P.S: you can drop your email address here to get a sample copy of a cover letter to better help you understand the above. 1 Like 2 Shares |
