How to structure it

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 Hotel Service Manager
I am writing to apply for the Hotel Service Manager role at [Company Name]. With several years of experience overseeing daily hotel operations and leading front desk, housekeeping and food and beverage teams, I am confident I can contribute to the smooth running of your property.
In my current role, I introduced a centralised rostering system using Deputy that aligned staff coverage with occupancy forecasts. This reduced last-minute shift changes and ensured the front desk and housekeeping teams were always adequately staffed, which led to fewer guest complaints about check-in delays and room readiness.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my operational and compliance experience to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to discussing how I can support your hotel's service standards.
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.
