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 Picture Framer
I am writing to apply for the Picture Framer role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in custom framing, conservation mounting and customer design consultation, I can measure, cut and assemble frames that protect artworks and present them well.
In my current role, I regularly advise customers on frame design, materials and conservation options. One recent project involved framing a set of delicate watercolours for a local exhibition. I selected acid-free mount board and UV-filtering glass, cut the mounts on a computerised mat cutter and assembled the frames with mitre joints that stayed square. The artist was happy with the result and booked two more jobs for the same series.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I would like to contribute to a team that takes presentation and preservation seriously.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how my framing skills can support 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.
