Application for job

Applications for jobs are written in a very formal, precise and to the point manner. In
case the applicant has to focus on his qualifications and experience, a bio-data is
enclosed. It includes important information regarding the candidate such as Name, Date
of Birth, Contact Address, Educational Qualifications, Professional
attainments, Experience Letter, Hobbies, Marital Status, Salary Expected and the
References. The forwarding letter has the same format as. an official letter. In case, the
information about the applicant is not detailed one, it is included in the body of the letter
itself and also included the career objective.
The bio-data or curriculum vitae (C.V.) is written in a standardised format. The
forwarding letter reflects the personality of the writer. It must be brief and polite. While
stressing personal qualities such as habits, manners, health, physique etc., it should
avoid the two extremes of bragging and ingratiating.
