A General Job Application Letter is a fundamental document in the Philippine job application process, used when seeking employment opportunities across various industries. This document serves as the applicant's first formal point of contact with potential employers and must comply with Philippine labor laws, including the Labor Code of the Philippines, Data Privacy Act, and anti-discrimination legislation. The letter should be written in clear, professional English (the standard business language in the Philippines) and typically accompanies a comprehensive resume or CV. It introduces the applicant's qualifications, expresses interest in working for the organization, and requests consideration for available positions. The document is particularly useful when making unsolicited job applications or responding to general recruitment calls, as opposed to applications for specific positions which might require more targeted cover letters.
