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 Vehicle Trimmer
I am writing to apply for the Vehicle Trimmer position at [Company Name]. With a Certificate III in Automotive Vehicle Trimming and hands-on experience across new builds, repairs and custom interiors, I am confident I can contribute to your team from day one.
In a previous role, I trimmed a fleet of commercial vans, sewing and fitting seat covers, headlinings and door trims to a consistent standard. I also reupholstered a set of classic car seats, matching the original stitching pattern and foam density to achieve a factory finish. This work required precise measuring, careful cutting and reliable sewing, and it reduced returns from customers.
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 would value the opportunity to bring my trimming skills to your team and support your standards of finish and durability.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience aligns with your needs. I look forward to hearing from you.
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.
