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 Martial Arts Instructor
I am writing to apply for the Martial Arts Instructor position at [Company Name]. With extensive experience teaching karate and jujitsu to students of all ages, I am confident I can deliver engaging, safe and effective classes that build both skill and confidence.
In my current role, I introduced a structured grading preparation program that helped 12 students achieve their next belt rank on their first attempt. I also revised the junior class curriculum to include more game-based drills, which noticeably improved concentration and attendance among younger students. I take pride in creating a positive dojo culture where students feel supported to push their limits while respecting safety and etiquette.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I share your commitment to community-focused martial arts and would welcome the chance to contribute to your programs.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached for your review, and I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can support 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.
