Mind the important points to be remembered while applying for any job, that’s are following:
- Give the complete particulars, as desired by the prospective employer, in a simple and straight forward manner.
- Highlight your qualities in a subtle manner.
- Never send a cyclostyled application.
- The format should be exactly like that of a business letter.
- Type the application neatly and correctly (if your hand writing is not good.)
- Always send the original typed copy, and not the duplicate copy of your application.
Kindly note that there are two different types of application which are used one includes the particulars in the application itself, and the sender puts them separately.
