APPLICATION FOR JOB With Biodata

Class 12 English Writing skills

Introduction
A job application is a crucial step in the employment process, serving as the first impression a
candidate makes on potential employers. It not only showcases an applicant’s qualifications and
experiences but also reflects their professionalism and attention to detail. A well-crafted
application can differentiate a candidate in a competitive job market, highlighting their skills and
suitability for the role
What is a Job Application?
Employment application means the letter written for getting a job. It is the primary means of
introducing the job seeker to the employer. Through the job application, job seeker offers his or
her labour and service for a return. Therefore, the application for employment acts as a personal
advertisement. Job application contains appeal for the job along with the job seeker’s personal
data like name, address, qualification, and experience.

What do you mean by Bio-Data?

Bio data refers to a person’s life, experience and achievements. It should be representative of all
your personal and professional details in a specified format. It is generally divided into four parts:
1. Personal Details
2. Qualifications
3. Experience
4. References

Job Application and Bio-data Format Class 12

A job Application consists of two parts- the covering letter (appeal) and the bio-data/CV.
Cover letter
The format for the covering letter is similar to the format of a Formal letter. It goes on like-
 SENDER’s ADDRESS– The sender’s address is usually put on the top left-hand corner.
 DATE- The sender’s address is followed by the date just below it. This is the date on which the
letter is being written. It is to be written in expanded form.
 RECEIVER’s ADDRESS– Whether to write “To” above the address depends on the writer’s
preference. Make sure you write the official title/name/position etc of the receiver, as the first line
of the address.
 SUBJECT- Then we sum up the purpose of writing the letter in one line. This helps the receiver
focus on the subject of the letter in one glance. It is important to underline the subject.
 SALUTATIONS- This is where you greet the person you are addressing the letter to. Bear in
mind that it is a formal letter, so the greeting must be respectful and not too personal. The
general greetings used in formal letters are “Sir” or “Madam”.
 BODY– This is the main content of the letter. It is either divided into three paragraphs or two
paragraphs if the letter is briefer. The tone of the content should be formal. Do not use any
flowery language. Another point to keep in mind is that the letter should be concise and to the
point. And always be respectful and considerate in your language.
 PARAGRAPH 1– Begin the body of the letter by mentioning the source (from where you got to
know about the job) of information about the job (e.g., newspaper) along with the day, date and
advertisement number. Also mention the post you wish to apply for.
 PARAGRAPH 2- Here, you are supposed to offer your candidature by briefing about your
qualifications, achievements, previous experiences and your strengths. In other words, this
paragraph should be an answer to the question: ‘How are you the perfect candidate for the job?’.
 Keep in mind that it should be to the point and clear. You should not sound boastful.
 PARAGRAPH 3- In this part of the body, you are supposed to make a reference to the
photograph (passport-sized), Bio-data or curriculum vitae and other detailed documents that you
have enclosed. You can also appeal for a one-on-one interview.
 End the body on a promising note, e.g., Looking forward to your positive response.
 COMPLIMENTARY CLOSE- At the end of your letter, we write a complimentary closing. The
words “Yours Faithfully” or “Yours Sincerely” are used.
 SIGNATURE– Here finally you sign your name. And then write your name in block letters
beneath the signature. This is how the recipient will know who is sending the letter.
(NOTE– Mention the name given in the question paper. Do not mention your personal details.)
Bio-data
After signing, you are supposed to mention the heading “ENCLOSURES” which will include the
name of the documents and testimonials attached along with the cover letter. They may include
the following-
 Photograph (Passport-sized)
 Bio-data or CV
 Copies of certificates
 Any other
 Biodata Format
The Biodata or CV is generally divided into four parts as follows-
 Personal Details
 Qualifications

RECEIVER’s ADDRESS– Whether to write “To” above the address depends on the writer’s
preference. Make sure you write the official title/name/position etc of the receiver, as the first line
of the address.
SUBJECT- Then we sum up the purpose of writing the letter in one line. This helps the receiver
