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 Motorcycle Mechanic
I'm applying for the Motorcycle Mechanic role at [Company Name]. I hold a Certificate III in Motorcycle Mechanical Technology and have worked across road, dirt and touring bikes, so the mix of machines your workshop handles is familiar ground.
In my current workshop, a rider brought in a twin-cylinder bike that had been through two other shops for a misfire that only appeared once the engine was hot. I worked the fuel and ignition circuits with the diagnostic tool, then ran the bike on the dyno and on the road until the fault repeated, which traced it to a failing sensor and a chafed section of loom near the frame. I repaired both, road tested it over two days and the bike came back for its next service rather than another complaint.
Why I want to work at [Company Name] comes down to [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I'd rather build my skills somewhere that takes that side of the work seriously.
Thanks for reading my application. My resume is attached and I'm happy to come in for a practical assessment at a time that suits your workshop.
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.
