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 Pest Controller
I am writing to apply for the Pest Controller position at [Company Name]. With a Certificate III in Pest Management and a current pest management licence, I bring hands-on experience in inspecting, treating and preventing pest issues across residential and commercial sites.
In my previous role, I managed a recurring rodent issue at a food processing facility. After a detailed inspection, I identified entry points and implemented a baiting and exclusion program. This resolved the issue without disrupting operations and passed the next food safety audit with no pest-related findings.
I am particularly interested in working for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am keen to contribute to a team that values quality service and client education.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills 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.
