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 Salon Manager
I am writing to apply for the Salon Manager role at [Company Name]. With a hairdressing background and several years managing a busy salon floor, I keep bookings, staff and takings running smoothly so clients return and the business stays viable.
In my current role, I introduced Timely to manage bookings and Phorest for client records, which cut no-shows by confirming appointments automatically and freed up the front desk to focus on retail sales. I also took over stock ordering, working with suppliers to reduce overstock on slow-moving colour lines and keep popular retail products on the shelf. That combination of hands-on service knowledge and back-of-house discipline is what I would bring to [Company Name].
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to work somewhere that takes both client care and team development seriously, and I would welcome the chance to contribute to that.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how my salon management experience fits your team at [Company Name].
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.
