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 Bakery Assistant
I am writing to apply for the Bakery Assistant role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in dough preparation, baking and front-of-house service, I can step into your bakery and keep production and shelves running smoothly from the early shift.
In my current role, I prepare dough and pastry mixes, bake and finish bread, cakes and pastries, and serve customers during the morning rush. I monitor stock levels and rotate products using FIFO, which has cut waste from stale stock and kept popular lines available. I also keep benches, mixers and ovens clean to meet food safety and hygiene standards, and I hold a current Food Safety Supervisor certificate.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I would like to contribute to a bakery that takes pride in fresh product and consistent service.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your bakery 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.
