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 Furniture Finisher
I am writing to apply for the Furniture Finisher role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in surface preparation, colour matching and spray application, I am confident I can deliver the consistent, high-quality finishes your workshop is known for.
In my current role, I prepared and finished a set of 15 hardwood dining tables for a local restaurant. I sanded each top progressively, checked moisture content with a meter, and mixed a custom stain to match the client's existing bar. After spraying lacquer in the booth and polishing to a satin sheen, every table passed inspection without rework. The client has since ordered matching chairs.
I want to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to].
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how my finishing skills can support your production 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.
