Mark SmithHuman Resources ManagerVeggies to Go238 Main Street

Portland, Maine 04101

Dear Mr. Smith,

I was so excited when my former coworker, Jay Lopez, told me about your opening for an administrative assistant in your Portland offices. A long-time Veggies to Go customer and an experienced admin, I would love to help the company achieve its mission of making healthy produce as available as takeout.

I’ve worked for small companies for my entire career, and I relish the opportunity to wear many hats and work with the team to succeed. In my latest role as an administrative assistant at Beauty Corp, I saved my employer thousands of dollars in temp workers by implementing a self-scheduling system for the customer service reps that cut down on canceled shifts. I also learned web design, time sheet coding, and perfected my Excel skills.

I’ve attached my resume for your consideration and hope to speak with you soon about your needs for the role.

Best Regards,

Elizabeth Johnson

Contoh: Dear Mrs. Johnson, Dear Mr. Smith, dsb.

Kita sebaiknya menuliskan nama belakang dari si penerima surat dan pastikan diakhiri dengan tanda comma.

Jika kita tidak mengetahui nama orang yang kita tuju atau HRD managernya, atau siapapun yang bertugas merekrut pegawai baru, kita cukup menuliskan salam seperti:

Dear Sir, (untuk laki-laki)

Dear madam, (untuk perempuan)

Jika kita juga bingung apakah orang yang menerima surat laki-laki atau perempuan kita dapat menuliskan:

Dear Sir or Madam,

Paragraf ini harus berisi tentang informasi diri dan posisi yang dilamar.

Paragraf ini juga harus menuntun pada paragraf selanjutnya dengan menyebutkan qualifikasi yang dimiliki secara singkat atau kenapa kita tertarik terhadap posisi yang dilamar.

Paragraf ke dua berisi tentang qualifikasi atau keterampilan yang dimiliki.

Kita juga dapat menyebutkan prestasi yang pernah diraih untuk menunjukan bahwa kita memang cocok untuk posisi yang dilamar.

Intinya adalah kita harus mempromosikan diri kita sebaik mungkin pada paragraf ke dua.

Paragraf ke tiga berisi sebuah penutupan. Kita dapat menyampaikan bahwa kita memiliki qualifikasi yang sesuai untuk posisi yang dilamar.

Kita juga dapat menyertakan sebuah kontak sekaligus menunjukan bahwa kita mengharapkan sebuah panggilan interview.

Dan yang terakhir ucapkan terima kasih.

Pada bagian akhir paragraf tiga biasanya kita menuliskan kalimat penutup, kalimat penutup yang dapat kita gunakan seperti:

I look forward to your reply

Looking forward to your reply

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Closing and Signature: Tuliskan salam penutup, tanda tangan serta nama lengkap pada bagian akhir surat lamaran pekerjaan.

Untuk salam penutup sendiri kita dapat menuliskan seperti contoh berikut:

Sincerely,

Yours sincerely,

Regards,

Best,

Yours faithfully,

Best regards,

Tips: Sebagai tips tambahan saat menulis surat lamaran pekerjaan (meskipun pada akhirnya jika kita akan benar-benar melamar pekerjaan, kita pasti mencari template yang sudah ada di Google 😅)

Tapi untuk informasi tambahan sebaiknya kita tidak menggunakan singkatan seperti:

Don't, I'm, Can't, Isn't, dsb.

Kita sebaiknya menulisnya dengan tidak disingkat seperti Do not, I am, Can not, Is not, dsb.

Dan yang paling penting pastikan kita menggunakan bahasa yang baik, sopan dan formal.

Perlu diingat bahwa, ada banyak versi atau format penulisan surat lamaran pekerjaan. Seperti ada yang menuliskan tanggal (date) ataupun tidak, ada yang menuliskan penerima surat di sebelah kiri dan ada pula yang menulis di sebelah kanan.

Kita tidak bisa mengatakan versi yang ini benar dan yang itu salah ataupun sebaliknya. Karena setiap orang yang memberikan teori tentang format penulisan surat lamaran mengklaim bahwa versi miliknya benar.

Daripada kita dipusingkan dengan hal-hal teknis seperti itu yang pada kenyataannya seiring perkembangan zaman format penulisan surat lamaran makin beragam dan makin unik, kita bisa cek sendiri banyak bertebaran di internet berbagai macam template surat lamaran pekerjaan dengan format yang berbeda-beda.

Jadi pointnya adalah kita hanya akan fokuskan pembahasan materi ini pada bagian-bagian utama dari sebuah surat lamaran pekerjaan tersebut seperti yang telah dijelaskan di bagian atas.

Selanjutnya, kita akan melihat beberapa contoh surat lamaran pekerjaan untuk memberikan gambaran yang lebih jelas tentang bentuk surat lamaran pekerjaan atau application letter.

Berikut beberapa contoh surat lamaran pekerjaan atau application letter yang telah mengikuti aturan penulisan seperti yang telah dijelaskan sebelumnya.
