How to structure it

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 Nail Technician
I am applying for the Nail Technician role at [Company Name]. My experience covers the full range of salon work, from classic manicures and pedicures through to gel and acrylic sets, and I keep a station that is always ready for inspection.
In my most recent salon role I looked after a repeating client base alongside daily walk-ins. When several clients started coming back early with lifting gel, I changed how I prepped the nail plate and how I explained aftercare at the end of each appointment. The early returns dropped off, and a handful of those clients moved from occasional visits to a regular booking cycle. I also kept the autoclave and cleaning logs current, which meant health inspections were straightforward rather than stressful.
I would like to work with [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am looking for a salon where hygiene standards and client care are taken seriously, and where I can keep building my skills in enhancement work.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached with the details of my qualifications and experience, and I would welcome the chance to talk through how I would fit into 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.
