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 Sign Installer
I am applying for the Sign Installer role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in signage installation and a strong focus on safety and precision, I am confident I can contribute to your team.
In my most recent role, I installed illuminated signs across a 20-store retail rollout. I measured and marked fixing points, drilled into varied surfaces including brick and concrete, and wired and tested each sign to confirm it was level and fully operational. I also operated a scissor lift to complete installations at height, finishing the rollout two days ahead of schedule without any safety incidents.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am keen to work with a team that values precision and safety, and I believe my experience would translate well to your projects.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would be glad to discuss how I can contribute to [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.
