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 Telecommunications Technician
I am writing to apply for the Telecommunications Technician role at [Company Name]. With hands on experience installing, testing and repairing copper, coaxial and optical fibre networks, I can step into your team and contribute from day one.
In my current role, I install and terminate cabling across customer premises, exchanges and outside plant. I recently worked on a multi site fibre upgrade where I spliced and tested each link with a fusion splicer and OTDR, confirming the results before handover. When I found a dirty connector and a bend radius issue on one link, I corrected it on site and saved the customer a return visit. I also diagnosed a recurring HFC fault that had been logged several times, traced it to a damaged drop cable and restored a stable service.
I am applying to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to bring my fault finding, fibre splicing and safety focused approach to a team that takes pride in reliable network builds and customer service.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience can support your network projects.
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.
