There are several important things that you should pay attention to when writing a handwritten job application letter. Here are some tips from Jaka for how to write a job application letter neatly and politely:

1. Use Lined Folio paper

To make it easier for you to write and determine the size of a handwritten job application letter, you should write a job application letter on lined folio paper.

According to this Jaka you must do because lined folio paper will make it easier for you to write and will make your writing neater.

If you write your cover letter on regular HVS paper, chances are your writing will be messy and italic. Surely you don't want your cover letter to be messy?

2. Mandatory Use of Pens

The next tip is to never ever use a pencil or even a marker to write your cover letter.

You are only allowed to use black or blue pen ink. Jaka recommends that you use black ink because it seems more formal.

Although blue and black ink are both allowed, don't use both in your cover letter. Will you be seen prepare and unprofessional.

3. Write As Neatly As Possible

I'm sure this one tip may be a bit difficult for some, because every person's writing is different.

But it's not impossible, gang! You can practice first to write a job application letter before finally sending the final version.

Good and neat writing will make it easier for HRD to read your writing. The important points you want to convey in your cover letter will also be easier to understand.

4. Use Formal Language

Even if you write your application letter by hand, don't forget that you must use Indonesian or English (if needed) properly and correctly.

In addition to formal language, you are also very obliged to know the rules of Enhanced Spelling (EYD) and refers to the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI).

Don't even write a cover letter in English slang and informal language even if you apply at a startup company that is famous for its modern work culture.

5. Make sure the paper pages are clean and not smudged

This is the most important! Don't let the job application paper you give or send is dirty and tattered.

This will make you look unprofessional, dirty and underestimate the job you are applying for. It's just not really, really, gang.

Take good care of your job application letter, don't let it get dirty and tattered until it reaches HRD. Store in a container protected from water and dirt until you ship it.
