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 Dairy Farmer
I am applying for the Dairy Farmer role at [Company Name]. With several years working on dairy farms, I have the practical skills in herd management, milking and pasture care that this position requires.
In my current role, I introduced a teat-spraying and udder-health routine that cut mastitis cases noticeably across a 300-cow herd. I also took over pasture rotation planning, which improved feed utilisation and reduced the amount of bought-in fodder we needed during the dry season. These changes kept milk quality within processor requirements and supported consistent production.
I want to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am looking for a farm where I can contribute to long-term herd improvement and take on more responsibility over time.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your farm.
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.
