Application Letter - Part 2

Hello Everyone!

Function

Apart from functioning as a communication tool between applicants and job recipients, job application letters also function as an initial assessment tool whether they are suitable to be placed in the position that has been chosen or included in the application letter or not.

Parts of a job application letter
