CV and 'written application'- Help please.

WantToBeSE

Hi,
i am applying for a job, and in the application process, it says to send a CV and 'written application'.
Can someone please explain when i should include in this written application? Does it mean to write about why you would like the job, why you'd be good at it etc?

if it helps, this is the job:

It says that you have to write for an application form - write to the address provided.

It also seems to suggest that CV OR written application would be acceptable - both seem not to be necessary.

Personally, I would send a CV and covering letter to the address provided. Use the covering letter to explain why you want the job, why you would be good at it and details of when you're available.

If the employer then decides to send an application form, so be it. Fill it in and send it back but either way you have to write to her so I'd go with the first option to start with.

Thanks 1940sGal.
I think that sounds like a good plan, as i have covered all options then.
