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 Vehicle Body Builder
I am writing to apply for the Vehicle Body Builder role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience fabricating and assembling vehicle bodies, I am confident I can contribute to your team.
In my current position, I build bus bodies from bare chassis. I read blueprints to cut and shape sheet metal, then weld and rivet sections to exact tolerances. Recently, I completed a run of 15 trailers, fitting windows, doors and access panels, and aligning components so they passed inspection first time. I also work with MIG and TIG welders and plasma cutters to deliver clean, strong joins.
I am particularly interested in working for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to bring my fabrication skills to a team that values quality and safety.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your workshop.
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.
