A structured letter with example content specific to this role. Replace the bracketed placeholders and adjust the details to the job you're actually applying for.
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 Marketing Assistant
I am writing to apply for the Marketing Assistant role at [Company Name]. With a diploma in marketing and hands-on experience supporting campaigns across digital and traditional channels, I am confident I can contribute to your team from day one.
In my most recent role, I assisted with the delivery of a multi-channel campaign that reached over 5,000 customers. I coordinated a content calendar across three social channels and noticed that engagement dropped on weekends, so I adjusted the schedule to publish on weekday mornings. This increased average likes per post from around 20 to over 50, and the campaign generated 200 leads. I also compiled weekly performance reports using Google Analytics, which cut my report preparation time from four hours to one.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to].
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills in content creation, analytics and event coordination can support your marketing goals.
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.
