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 Interior Designer
I'm writing to apply for the Interior Designer role at [Company Name]. My background covers residential and commercial projects end to end, from first concept through to the final walkthrough on-site, which matches the scope of work you've described.
In a recent project I took a client brief with a tight budget and an awkward floor plan and turned it into a workable layout using SketchUp visualisations to test options before committing to materials. That upfront work meant fewer changes once the fit-out started, and the client signed off on the first full concept presented rather than a third or fourth revision.
[Company Name] stood out to me because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. That's the kind of work I want to keep building toward, and I think my approach to client briefs and budgets would fit well with how your team operates.
Thank you for considering my application. I've attached my resume with more detail on my project experience and software skills, and I'd welcome the chance to discuss the role further.
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.
