How to structure it
Opening
Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.
Middle
One or two paragraphs of real, specific evidence: what you did, and the result. This is where most letters go generic. Yours shouldn't.
Why this employer
One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.
Close
Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Air Conditioning Technician
I'm writing to apply for the Air Conditioning Technician role with [Company Name]. My trade background in installing, servicing and repairing HVAC systems across residential and commercial sites matches what this position needs, and I'm ready to bring that experience to your team.
On a recent job I was called to a commercial site where a system had been cycling on and off without an obvious cause. Using a pressure gauge set and thermal imaging camera, I traced the fault to a failing expansion valve rather than the compressor everyone assumed was at fault. Replacing the valve instead of the compressor saved the client an unnecessary parts cost and got the system back to spec the same day.
What draws me to [Company Name] specifically is [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to work somewhere that reflects the standard I hold my own work to.
Thank you for considering my application. I've attached my resume with further detail on my trade background and licensing, and I'd welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your team.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
