In short
A job application (जागिरको लागि निवेदन) is a one-page formal letter sent with a CV. It has seven parts: the date, who it is addressed to, a subject line naming the post, where you saw the vacancy, your qualification and experience in a sentence or two, the list of attached documents, and your name, address, phone and signature.
Schools, cooperatives, local offices and most Nepali companies still expect a formal application with the CV: a निवेदन addressed to the head of the office, with a subject line naming the post. Enter the post, where you saw the vacancy and your qualification, and the letter is written in Nepali or English, with the list of attached documents at the foot.

जागिरको लागि निवेदन लेख्ने तरिका — the seven parts
मिति (date). The day you submit it, at the top right.
Who it is addressed to. श्रीमान् प्रमुख ज्यू for an office, श्रीमान् प्रधानाध्यापक ज्यू for a school, then the organisation's name and address.
विषय (subject). One line that names the post: लेखापाल पदमा नियुक्ति पाऊँ भन्ने बारे।
Where you saw the vacancy. The newspaper, website or notice, and its date. It tells the office which opening you mean.
Your qualification and experience. One or two sentences. The CV carries the detail.
संलग्न (attachments). The CV, copies of certificates and citizenship, and anything else the notice asks for.
निवेदक (your name and signature). With your address and a phone number you answer.
Application letter, cover letter or CV
The CV lists everything: education, work, skills. The application letter is the formal request that goes on top of it, and it is what a Nepali office files. A cover letter is the same idea written more freely, usually in English, for a company that hires by email.
If the vacancy notice says दरखास्त or निवेदन, send this letter with the CV. If it says "send your CV and cover letter to" an email address, write a cover letter instead: the cover letter format guide shows how.
Need the CV too? The CV maker is free, and the job application letter guide has more samples in English.
For a teacher, a bank or a government office
A school is addressed to the principal (प्रधानाध्यापक), and the subject names the level and subject you teach: माध्यमिक तह गणित शिक्षक पदमा नियुक्ति पाऊँ भन्ने बारे। Attach the teaching licence if the post needs one.
A cooperative, a company or an NGO is addressed to the manager or the chairperson, as the notice says.
A government post advertised by the Public Service Commission is applied for on the Commission's own online form, not by a letter. This letter is for offices that ask for a written application.
Before you submit
Check the post name against the notice letter for letter, and the deadline. An application for the wrong post, or a day late, is not read.
Sign it by hand if you submit on paper. Attach the documents in the order you list them.
Keep a copy with the date you submitted it, and the name of the person who received it if you handed it in.
