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 Biomedical Technician
I am writing to apply for the Biomedical Technician role at [Company Name]. With a background in clinical engineering and a focus on patient safety, I am confident I can maintain and repair your medical equipment to the standards your clinical teams rely on.
In my current role, I test and calibrate infusion pumps, defibrillators and patient monitors across multiple wards. I recently traced a recurring fault in a fleet of syringe drivers to a batch of worn door sensors, replacing them before any device failed in use and sparing nursing staff from mid-shift equipment swaps. I also carry out preventive maintenance and electrical safety testing to AS/NZS 3551, and I keep asset records in the clinical engineering database so that recalls and audits are straightforward.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because of [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to bring my fault-finding and compliance skills to a team that takes equipment reliability as seriously as I do.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your clinical engineering service.
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.
