Also, the interview call very much depends on the quality of your job application letter.
You have to be careful about a few things while writing a job application letter.
Your introduction should mention the position you are applying for. This makes it easier for the employer to what you are applying for. Don’t forget to mention the enclosure of your resume. And, mention only those experiences which are related to the position you are applying for.
Always accompany a resume along with your job application letter. Standard fonts and colors should be used in the job application letter. Mention the post you are applying for in the subject line to make it clear to the reader. These are few things to remember while writing a job application letter.
