Model Answer

The correct form is considering.

'Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to working in your organization.'

Explanation

After a preposition (here, "for"), a verb must be in its -ing form (gerund). "Consider" → "considering". This is a standard grammar rule tested in letter-writing questions.
