How to structure it

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 Pharmacy Technician
I am writing to apply for the Pharmacy Technician position at [Company Name]. My background in prescription dispensing, stock management and patient support matches the day-to-day demands of this role closely.
In my current pharmacy technician work, I manage stock rotation and ordering for a busy dispensary, including reconciling Schedule 8 register entries and maintaining refrigerated and controlled-substance storage. I process PBS and private insurance claims daily and cross-check every label against the prescriber's instructions before it reaches a patient, which keeps error rates low even during peak periods.
[Company Name] stood out to me when I was looking at pharmacy roles because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to bring my dispensing accuracy and patient-facing experience to a team working on that.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how my experience with dispensing, compliance and patient support could fit your pharmacy.
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.
