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 Food Factory Worker
I am writing to apply for the Food Factory Worker position at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in food processing and a strong commitment to food safety, I am confident I can contribute to your production team.
In my previous role, I operated industrial mixers and slicers on a high-volume production line. I consistently met daily targets while maintaining strict hygiene standards, and I was recognised for reducing product waste by identifying and reporting equipment issues early. I also took responsibility for cleaning and sanitising equipment, helping the site pass audits without any food safety breaches.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to work for a company that takes pride in producing safe, high-quality food, and I believe my skills align well with your commitment to excellence.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your team. I am available for an interview at your convenience.
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.
