VickyRotex:


I'd advise you type both seperately and attach. Although some company websites will ask you to copy and paste your Cover letter in a box.


If they dont ask for that, its better typed as Ms Word, or converted to Pdf (depending on the type of file they requested for) and attached to e-mail, or uploaded to company's application site

When both the application letter & Cv are attached to the email, is it of best practice to have a cover letter for them?
Or, just notify the HR of the attachment of both documents?

You can just write in something like this after attaching your CV and Application/Cover letter

***Please find attached a copy of my CV and Application or Cover Letter

I look forward to speaking with you further regarding your available position(s).



Thanks in anticipation

Kind Regards,

Your Name ***

N.B Its not compulsory you write it exactly like this, its just a format I use in most cases.

I've received it Sir. A wonderful job you've done there. Thanks so much.

uboma:
@ op, you are yet to acknowledge receipt of my mail since noon that I sent it.

Kindly revert.

So sorry for the delay Sir. It was due to the fact that i had to wait to open the mail with a PC to be sure of the expected modified content before acknowledging receipt and it took sometimes before that was done. I've received it and it was a professional job done on it...i must say. The difference is clear. Thanks a million.

I'll still send you another mail today after verifying something. All in all, thanks so much once again and God bless.

What is certain is that we have what is called formal and informal letter. (Permit me to ignore semi formal).
Application letter means a formal letter stating your appeal for something. eg. jobs, approval request, etc
Now, if you are applying for a job, you need submit several documents - CV and certificates. In this case, your application is to introduce (cover) the accompanying (main) documents needed to prove you are worthy for the job. Thus the emergence of the phrase cover letter. Certainly the subject might still read "Application for ..." So, depending on the writing medium, it can contain all the relevant aspects of a formal letter - which we call it ab initio. I mean that detailed addresses can be ignored if writing inside email compose box, but may be clearly written if to be attached as a word/pdf file.

Now, if you are writing for instance: "Application for the Release of Fund for a Project" to may be the Chairman of your organisation. Here may be you simply need to state your budget in the letter and has no other accompanying document. So the normal name Application letter becomes clear.

In summary, Application Letter is same as Cover Letter.
Above is just my submission to the question. I was equally much confused with the phrase "cover letter" when I began to hear it for the first time during NYSC camping. You know how different money making persons troop the camp to catch them young in the name of "buy books and get certificate; we can help you write cover letters; etc"

Thank you!

Nice one. Thanks for your contribution.

@uboma, pls i noticed that from the way you arranged my bolded name on the cv, you started with my surname (without insertion of apostrophy e.g. comma "," to separate the surname from other names. Is that okay as it's or i should insert comma there to serve this function or should i just arrange my name properly beginning from my name to my dad's own and then surname straight? Just trying to avoid some mistakes. Thanks.

From your native names, I couldn't differentiate your surname. Please go ahead and arrange your name as it pleases you.

Just like I stated earlier that Cover Letter is a sub of Application letter. As cover letter ought to be shorter and straight to the point.

You can use an application to apply for industrial attachment, as this should entail detailed information about yourself. Remember you aint applying for any specific position, so you have to compose your letter in a way that would leave the company with no other option than to take you in.

Most of the time, when applying for Industrial Attachement, some companies dont demand for CV cos they know most of their applicants are still students, so little or no experience is needed, and they believe you can sell yourself with just your application letter, unlike the case of Cover letter, you cant submit a Cover letter for job application without a CV.

Here is an example of an application letter for Industrial Attachment.

Hello and good morning all, please i want to know the difference(s) between "cover letter" and "application letter" as may be used during job application. My ignorance over this could be attributed to the fact that i've not really been involved in job hunting in my life time thus far, but situation as of today has called for it. I know that when applying for a job, the applicant must submit his/her CV together with application letter, but i've heard a lot about "cover letter" of recent and i find it difficult to fathom out the difference of the cover letter from application letter. If they are truly different, do applicants submit both at same time together with CV? If anyone can also help with a example of the said cover letter, that'll really be appreciated and plus any other information that could help guarantee one's better chance of being called for a job. Thank you!

Bro, i'm never ignorant of the existence of Google. As a matter of fact, what i needed was a more detailed explanation with physical examples shown different from what google may offer which i might find it a bit hard to understand. Thank you though.
