How to write an application letter
Did you noticed this one? (see pic) Yes, that’s my original entry I wrote back in February 2007: How to write an application letter. Since then, it has been the most searched and most read article of all times now. From as far as Argentina to Estonia, from South Africa to Pasig, it is the most searched. I guess, everyone is just simply looking for a job ever since! It has even surpassed the scandal in Baguio City, that is so well-known to everybody by now. But one thing I found out, I have seen some spectacular resumes and credentials, yet when it comes to crafting a letter, all hell breaks loose. So loose that I honestly could not understand the letters that’s written for me to review and correct. This is the reason for this follow-up entry. Time for a refresher course.
Four pointers and that’s it!
Let’s review. In the original entry I made, I pointed out the following:
- Put some personal touch.
- Adress to a specific person.
- Catch the reader’s attention.
- Highlight your qualifications.
That’s all folks! That’s all that you need to do! You don’t have to say something that you’ve been to Afghanistan and trained with the Talibans. You don’t have to say something that you’ve been to Mt. Everest and counted the rocks. None of that. Simply follow those four (4) points and you’ll be ok. What I found out from most of the letters that I have reviewed is this: LACK OF FOCUS.
Lack of focus
When you write an application letter, think that you are talking to a person directly at you. A person who will be reviewing 1,000 more application letters and resumes after you. So, you don’t want to be too verbose, use high-flying language, erratic and circuitous words and tell them too much information about your personal life. They will judge and rate you according to what they are looking for. Nothing more, nothing less. So, be straight to the point – not blunt, be candid – not airhead, be direct – not iffy. It’s called being focused. In other words, they don’t have that much time with you sweetheart. So, if you could sell and deliver yourself very well in that very small time window, they’ll adore you.
Be a good listener
How do you focus? Dissect the wanted ad requirement. List down what they want and what they are looking for. Use those to craft your application letter. There is no such thing as standard letter that applies to all job. You can never convince me that a nursing job application letter will also be applicable for a job at the Johnson Space Center. If you can’t respond to the ad completely and accurately, it is almost the same as saying, “You’re not listening sweetheart, so why should I hire you?“. So, be a good listener.
Another sample cover letter
Now, some readers lambasted me with the sample letter in my original entry. I can’t believe some of those assholes encountered a lot of difficulty understanding that I made fun of it. Then again, they’re not only humorless but probably mentally-challenged as well. But the basics are in there! Geez! So, in fairness, here is another sample letter that I am sharing to you all, in all seriousness this time. A very easy one.
Who am I to be writing this stuff?
I have, for many years, been involved in the recruitment and selection process in some of the companies that I work for. What I wrote was based on my experience. Am I the standard? Maybe not. Who knows, maybe there is an interviewer out there who would spend 8 hours with you, talking all about your experiences, life, marriage and everything in between, including all the juicy stuff about your husband and you enemies, then continue the interview at Starbucks or binge drinking at night. Well, NOT ME. I don’t have time for that shit. I have work to do. So, if I asked you what’s 1+1, you better say 2, else you go! Go! Well… unless you’re a hunk male, over the age of 21 and not 99(!), then I will promote you.

Pero, meron po kasing mga companies, especially sa manufacturing e mandatory ang pagchecheck ng kasu-kasuan at mga singit singit. But they will only do that kapag pumasa na ang applicants sa exam and interviews.
Napapangisngis ako pag naririnig ko yung ibang applicant na nagkukuwento na may natagpuang kurikong o buni sa katawan nila kaya daw sila na-hold sa medical. Pano ba naman, kailangan pa bang ikuwento in public na may kurikong at buni ka?…hehhe.. Comedy tuloy ang labas…

Naku your highness, nakaencounter na ako ng ganyan.
When I was working as HR sa isang cheverlung company, sa labas ang medical nila. Mega paranoid ang medtech during the physical examination exams. Kaloka. Ultimo ang poo-poo mo talagang uuriratin.
Yung iba, sa sobrang kagustuhan na makakuha ng trabaho, e namemeke ng papeles. From birth certificate to SSS E1 at number na-fefake nila. Mabuti na lang, mahigpit kami ng partner ko sa HRIS at na-tetrace nya ang mga fakers. Ako naman, sinisita ko na during the interview at naiispotan ko ang mga fakers kasi yung iba may mga inconsistencies sa data.
Maawa ka lang talaga, pero syempre, given the position na nasa HR ako, ayaw ko naman i-compromise yung policies. There was a time na muntik na ako magkaroon ng stalker dahil ultimo sa labas ng company, hinahabol ako para magmakaawa na interview sila ulit at ipasa.
Nakikita ko ang hirap ng mga taong ito, kung pwede lang sana na bigyan mo sila ng trabaho, kaya lang, mayroon kang protocol at standards na sinusunod kaya mahirap sa kalooban mo. No choice ka but to stand by the protocol.
There are times na para lang din makatulong, tinuturo ko sila sa ibang companies na naghihire din para magkaroon sila ng options para sa pag-aaply nila.
meron ng next level sa resume, kailangan may kasamang branding (and you have to hire people to do this–they have to observe your character) basta ako ang karacter ko eh Max Alvarado

Share ko lang din about pictures..
Meron akong applicant dati, applying for a laboratory position, yung para sa Research and Development Department ng company cheverlu na pinagtrabahuan ko dati..
Natawa ako sa pic nya. Kasi ang pic nya e nagmula pa sa cellphone camera. Yung posing na galing sa taas ang capture tapos kita pa yung braso at kamay na obviously, siya nga ang may hawak ng camera phone. At contodo posing pa.
I agree with the maganda / guwapo na biases sa hiring. Kasi kahit sa work ko as HR, napansin ko yun dahil yung ibang recruiters e may ganung bias talaga. Yung ibang company naman e biased towards homosexuals. Hindi sila naghihire ng gays and lesbians for some sort of, unspecified reasons.

@silver,
Di mo na ma-a-alis and discrimination. Napaka-subtle na nyan ngayon. In other words, kunyari walang discrimination pero kwidaw ka, that could be done in a lot of ways at Ganun talaga ang tactics nang mga yan.
Take the case sa Radio Biz ditto sa US. Meron kaming tinatawag ng Equal Employment Opportunity Report na binibigay sa FCC on a quarterly basis. Napalitan na ata na monthly sya. Isa to sa mga compliance reports. Binibilang ditto kung ilang ang puti, itim, asian at Hispanics. In other words, kahit na di ka required mag-hire nang ibang kulay, mapipilitan ka dahil sa rule on EEO. Result? Yong mga lower ranks ang mga me kulay. Ang tawag ko dun silently are beauty queens. Tawa nang tawa yong office mate ko saken. Nagbibiro ako pero totoo sya.

Buti na lang kami may tinatawag na career orientation noong college – tuturuan ka magsulat ng application letter, mag gawa ng resume at pano magbihis. Dinidiscuss rin pati meaning ng kulay ng damit, kung ano dapat kulay ng medyas, gano kakapal ang make-up ,etc. May booklet pa kami – summary ng buong orientation. May mock interview pa. Tapos, may free resume service – pwede ka magpa review ng resume bago mo ipasa sa mga companies. Actually irereview talaga nila kung gusto mo malagay yong resume mo sa resume databank ng school. Kasi ang mga companies ata nanghihingi ng resumes ng fresh grads.

kung meron kang maliit na bakuran jan sa iyong kubo magtanim ka ng mga gulay, kung wala ka naman extrang lugar pwede din mga paso sa bubong ng bahay ninyo, dito sa US pati bubong ng bus stop merong nakatanim , pag harvest mo ng kamatis eh di meron ka ng maibebenta sa kapitbahay mo, tutal maaraw naman jan kahit sa loob ng bahay pwedeng magpagapang ng ampalaya

oh etoh pang dagdag na tips:
be patient, don’t panic – don’t shock your future employers by sending them them itlog na bulok, but just give them a call following up, be assertive dont be annoying
add resume tricks – lifting key words from the wanted ads for that particular position pero huwag nyo naman kopayan pati tuldok
networking oh siempre pa expert na kayo jan fezbook at mespace
market yourself /branding- brag a little, yong tamang tama lang, just enough to make you stand out from the rest
stay motivated and keep on Praying

Bakit ba ngayon lang ako napadpad sa site mo kung kailan nakapag-pasa na ako ng mga ‘empty’ application letters. ;_; Thanks po sa pag-gawa nitong pointers. xD I’ll link your site sa journal ko para pwede ko balik balikan kasi alam kong makakalimutan ko agad ang mga ito (memory gap).
Thanks ulit!
