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 Abalone Diver
I am writing to apply for the role of Abalone Diver with [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in commercial abalone harvesting and a strong commitment to sustainable fishing, I am confident I can contribute to your operation from day one.
In a previous season, I hand-harvested abalone on rocky reefs and consistently met quota while returning undersized stock. I also maintained my dive gear and air systems, which reduced equipment downtime during short weather windows. My catch records were accurate and submitted on time, supporting compliance with state fisheries regulations.
I am interested in working with [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to contribute to an operation that values sustainable harvesting, safety and quality.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team.
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.
