The Definition of Application Letter
An Application Letter is a letter from someone who needs a job to a person or official who can provide a job or position. Through this application letter, the applicant asks that he or she be given a job.
An application letter can also be interpreted as a letter from a prospective employee to a prospective employer containing a request that the employee be given a job by the prospective employer.
This application letter is personal and formal or official. Personal because the letter was made by someone, and formal or official it uses an official language.
The Types of Application Letters
After knowing the meaning of a job application letter, you will learn more about the types.
Based on the type of creation, job application letters can be grouped into two types.
a. An application letter combined with curriculum vitae
In this way, the curriculum vitae includes the contents of the letter because its contents are combined. This method is also known as the combined model.
b. An application letter separated from curriculum vitae
In this way the curriculum vitae is an appendix and this method is called a separate model.
In practice, the type that is often used is a separate model. Although it takes two jobs to make, this model is preferred by job applicants because the letter is not too long.
Elements of Application Letter
After you are able to determine the type of application letter that you will make, you should know the elements, by understanding the elements you will understand more about the job application letter. The important elements in a job application letter are:
a. Thesis
The letter section begins with a general statement (thesis), which is the part of the job application letter that presents an introduction to this general statement which serves as initial information related to the job to be applied for. In this section, applicants present information in the form of greetings, opening remarks and biodata.
b. Argument
Arguments are the part of a job application letter that provides reasons for the job vacancy owner to accept the applicant. In this section, applicants present information in the form of photocopies of diplomas, curriculum vitae, and other information that supports the competence of applicants.
c. Affirmation
The part of a application letter that serves as a closing, such as the applicant's expectations, closing greeting and name and signature.
Generic Structure :
• Heading
• The address
• A greeting

This part is an important part. What is the function of a job application letter? The main function of a job application letter is as a written/official sign of submitting a job application, because the presence of a job application letter means that the application is official and will of course be immediately accepted as an application and consideration in accepting the applicant.
As a Communication Tool
This function is one of the basic functions of every letter. Because every letter is certain to contain information that will be needed by the intended party. In the application letter the information needed is information about the data and the identity of the addressee. In a job application letter, a certificate will usually be attached, a curriculum vitae, a photocopy of an ID card and a description of work experience. All of this information will be needed by a company or agency that is intended for consideration in accepting the applicant. Therefore, applicants always pay attention to the information in the application letter and prepare all the required prerequisites.
For your consideration
It has been explained above that with the presence of a job application letter and sharing information about identity, it is necessary to make a consideration for the company to accept the right applicant to fill the vacant job.
As a written / official sign of submitting a job application
This one is the main function of a job application letter, because the presence of a job application letter means that the application is official in nature and will of course be immediately accepted as an application and consideration in accepting the applicant.
