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 Exercise Physiologist
I'm writing to apply for the Exercise Physiologist position with [Company Name]. My background in functional assessment and individualised exercise prescription for clients with chronic disease and injury lines up closely with what this role needs.
In previous placements I've assessed clients using validated functional capacity protocols, then built exercise programs that adjusted week to week as tolerance and goals changed. One client referred under a chronic disease management plan progressed from struggling with basic mobility tasks to completing a structured strength and cardiovascular program, with regular documentation back to their GP keeping the whole care team informed of the change.
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 treats exercise prescription as core clinical care, not an add-on service.
Thank you for considering my application. I've attached my resume and would 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.
