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 Social Media Content Creator
I am writing to apply for the Social Media Content Creator role at [Company Name]. With a track record of planning, filming and publishing content that builds audiences across Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, I am confident I can help your team turn attention into engagement.
In my most recent role, I managed a content calendar for a retail brand, filming and editing short-form video for Reels and TikTok. One campaign series that paired product demonstrations with user-generated clips lifted average reach per post from 2,500 to 11,000 and reduced video turnaround from four days to two. I also wrote the captions and post copy, scheduled everything through Meta Business Suite, and reported weekly on reach, engagement and saves to the marketing manager.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to bring my content planning and editing skills to a team whose work I already follow and respect.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your content 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.
