HOW TO STRUCTURE A MOTIVATIONAL LETTER?

Posted date: 09 Jun 2021

A motivating letter is a one-page letter in which you explain why you are the best candidate for a specific job. It is typically included with your resume. In the following four instances, you must write a motivational letter:

* You're submitting an application for admission to a college or university's educational programme (undergraduate, graduate, or postgraduate).

* You've applied for a position at a non-profit organization.

* You're submitting an application to work as a volunteer for an organization.

* You're submitting an application for a company internship.

A motivating letter is not to be confused with a cover letter, which is designed to show how specific information on your CV corresponds to a job position. Consider a cover letter as a hiring manager's introduction to your CV, and a motivational letter as a persuasive closing sales presentation for a university or non-profit.

So, why is it important to write a motivational letter? You're more of a doer than a talker, as evidenced by your CV, which lists everything there is to know about you. That should suffice, right? That's incorrect! People who genuinely want to be there and are enthusiastic about what they do are sought by all organizations. Your main incentive should be your goal! 

A excellent motivating letter is a one-page document in which you explain yourself, your background, and your enthusiasm for the position or organization to which you are applying. Your motivating letter might be structured in one of two ways:

* Using the conventional three-paragraph form, with an introduction, body, and conclusion in your motivational letter.

* Using the 5-7 paragraph format, in which the major body paragraph is divided into smaller 1-3 sentence paragraphs based on the major points.

A well-written motivating letter can be a game-changer. It can help you improve your resume while also compensating for any skills gaps.
