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 Electronic Engineering Technician

I'm writing to apply for the Electronic Engineering Technician role at [Company Name]. With a diploma in electronics and hands-on experience testing, calibrating and repairing electronic systems, I'm confident I can support your engineering team in keeping equipment reliable and compliant.

In my current role, I diagnosed a recurring fault in a production line sensor array that had been causing intermittent stoppages. By working through the schematics and using an oscilloscope to trace the signal path, I identified a noise issue on a power rail and implemented a filtering fix. The line has since run without that fault, and I documented the solution so others could apply it to similar setups.

I'm keen to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to contribute to work that matches my skills in installation, maintenance and regulatory compliance.

Thank you for considering my application. I've attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how I can help 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.
