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 Finance Broker
I am writing to apply for the Finance Broker role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience across home loans, asset finance and small business lending, I can assess a client's situation, compare options across a lender panel and manage the application through to settlement.
In my current role, I worked with a small business owner who had been declined by their bank for equipment finance. I reviewed their financials, restructured the application around their cash flow and lodged it with a lender on our panel that specialised in their industry. The loan was approved, and the client was able to upgrade their machinery without disrupting day to day operations. That file also taught me the value of reading lender policy closely before submitting.
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 takes compliance seriously while still finding ways to say yes to clients who fit a lender's policy.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how my experience could support your clients and 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.
