Abstract: This research aims at investigating the typical move-step structure and grammatical features of the job application letter genre used by English native speakers to write effectively. Fourteen job application letters were evaluated by three experts in the field of English language to prove the quality of those job application letters. The inter-rater reliability using SPSS was used to calculate the correlation between the ratings of three experts with the alpha internal consistency coefficient at .83. The findings indicate that English native speakers use various move-step structures for their job application letters without the typical pattern. For grammatical features, present simple tense was mostly used in establishing credentials (Move 1), enclosing documents (Move 4), soliciting response (Move 6), and ending politely (Move 7), while present progressive tense was frequently used in introducing candidature/offering candidature (Move 2/Step 2A). The tense commonly used in introducing candidature/essential detailing of candidature (Move 2/Step 2B) and introducing candidature/indicating value of candidature (Move 2/Step 2C) was past simple tense. A genre-based syllabus was designed based on move analysis and grammatical knowledge of tenses for teaching students how to write effective job application letters.
