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 Tennis Coach
I'm applying for the Tennis Coach role at [Company Name]. I coach right across the pathway, from first-time juniors in Hot Shots through to competition squads, and I'd bring that range plus steady program administration to your courts.
At my current club I took over a junior program that ran on an ad hoc basis and rebuilt it as a term-based squad structure. I grouped players by stage rather than age, wrote a drill progression for each group, and ran a short review session each term using SwingVision footage so players could see what was changing in their swing. The after-school squad grew from a handful of players to four regular groups, and parents started referring other families because they knew what their child was working on each week.
I'd like to work at [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I've followed how you run your junior pathway and holiday programs, and I'd be glad to contribute to that.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I'd welcome the chance to talk through how I'd run lessons and squads at your venue.
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.
