A structured letter with example content specific to this role. Replace the bracketed placeholders and adjust the details to the job you're actually applying for.
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 Bed and Breakfast Operator
I am applying for the Bed and Breakfast Operator role at [Company Name]. Running a small property is a whole-business job, and the parts I enjoy most, guest service, food, presentation and the numbers, are the parts this role lives on every day.
In my most recent property I took over a four room guesthouse with an unreliable booking calendar and no cleaning routine. I set a morning reconciliation across Booking.com, Airbnb and the direct channel, wrote a room turnaround schedule that shortened each clean to about 90 minutes, and moved the accounts into Xero with monthly reconciliations and BAS lodged on time. I also introduced a two night minimum for weekends and a midweek package with a local tour operator, which filled nights that had previously sat empty. Repeat guests now make up a solid share of bookings, and the property holds a strong review score on the main channels.
Why I want to work with [Company Name]: [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to].
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached and I would welcome the chance to walk you through the property and talk about how I would run the day to day.
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.
