It is absolutely necessary to have an effective and winning application letter. Your application letter introduces you to the company. A weak, bland, generic application letter labels you one of the pack – nondescript and ordinary. Boring!
A free sample application letter can do you more harm than good!
Pretty much all free application letter samples are completely worthless!
Why is this?
Lots of people use exactly the same free application letter samples. Even if they were well written (which most are not) this means that employers regularly receive the same application letters. This shows a lack of originality. If you send the same application letter as the employer has received previously you will lose the job.
Remember: The better your application letter the better your chances of securing your dream job.
The best possible application letters are original, personalized, and specifically tailored and optimized for a particular job using the correct job-specific keywords. The best way to do this is to use a professional application letter writer. If you are serious about improving your job prospects we strongly recommend you use one of our professional application letter writing services.
If, on the other hand you wish to use a generic application letter then at the very least you should use one that is well-written and which is not freely available (and widely used) elsewhere. Remember that recruiters/employers have seen most sample application letters before and prefer originality. You should also be aware that most sample application letters are not specific/relevant/optimized enough to help you stand out from the crowd. Most sample application letters are at most 30% relevant to you and your job application - however they really need to be 100% relevant and no sample application letters are.
To make matters worse, I have seen application letters that were not even edited for the particular job; they included details for other positions instead of the one that the applicant was applying for.
Please note therefore that there are problems associated with using sample application letters, and because of this we do not recommend you use them. If you are serious about landing your dream job it is always far better to use a professional resume and application writing service.
