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 Obstetrician and Gynaecologist
I am writing to express my interest in the Obstetrician and Gynaecologist position at [Company Name]. With FRANZCOG and extensive experience in both public and private hospital settings, I am confident in my ability to provide high-quality care to women across the full spectrum of obstetric and gynaecological needs.
In my current role, I manage a busy obstetric practice, delivering over 200 babies annually and performing a wide range of gynaecological surgeries. I recently led a quality improvement initiative that reduced the decision-to-delivery time for emergency caesarean sections from 30 minutes to 15, significantly improving neonatal outcomes. I also introduced a patient education program for antenatal care that increased the number of women attending postnatal check-ups.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because of your reputation for [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am eager to contribute to a team that shares my commitment to evidence-based practice and patient-centred care.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can benefit 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.
