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 Exhaust Fitter
I am applying for the Exhaust Fitter role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in fabrication, MIG welding and emissions testing, and a habit of checking fitment and compliance before a vehicle leaves the hoist, I am a practical fit for your workshop.
In my current role, I fabricated and fitted a custom stainless exhaust for a turbo diesel ute after the off-the-shelf kit would not clear a long-range tank and tow bar. I measured and bent the pipe on the vehicle, TIG welded the joints, and re-tested noise and emissions after the install. The customer got the note they wanted without a drone at highway speed, and the vehicle came back for a follow-up service with no exhaust issues.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to work somewhere that treats exhaust fitting as proper fabrication and compliance work, not just parts swapping, and where the team takes pride in clean welds and systems that last.
Thanks for considering my application. My resume is attached and I would welcome the chance to talk through a recent job or complete a weld and fitment test in your workshop.
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.
