    Sometimes employers ask you to reply 'in writing'. I take this to mean in my own handwriting (assume employers want to check if my writing is legible). Do you agree or have I been making mistakes in my applications?
    I tend to hand write the cover letter in these circumstances and print off my cv....
    I think that's a rather strict interpretation; a typed letter would also be accepted.

    "In writing"/"Written applications only" probably just mean they don't want phone calls or people turning up at their door without an appointment.

    If they want to see your handwriting, they're likely to ask for a handwritten covering letter.
