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 Vineyard Worker
I am writing to apply for the Vineyard Worker position at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in pruning, trellising, and harvest operations, I am confident I can contribute to your vineyard team.
In my previous role, I pruned and trained vines across a 20-hectare block, which improved canopy management and sunlight exposure. I also operated tractors and ATVs for spraying and mowing, ensuring treatments were applied on time. During harvest, I worked as part of a crew, hand-picking grapes to strict quality standards.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I share your commitment to producing high-quality grapes and would welcome the opportunity to contribute.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can support your vineyard operations.
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.
