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 IT Trainer
I am writing to apply for the IT Trainer role at [Company Name]. With a background in assessing training needs and delivering practical software training across corporate and government settings, I am confident I can help your staff get more from their systems.
In my current role, I led the training component of a new customer relationship management system rollout. I assessed needs across four teams, designed user guides and short e-learning modules in Articulate Storyline, and delivered a mix of face-to-face workshops and online sessions via Microsoft Teams. By following up with one-on-one coaching for two weeks after go-live, I helped reduce common support requests and saw a noticeable improvement in staff confidence when using the system.
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 contribute to an organisation that values practical learning and continuous improvement, and I believe my approach to training would align well with your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your training needs. I look forward to speaking with you.
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.
