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 Printer's Assistant
I am writing to apply for the Printer's Assistant role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience in commercial print rooms and bindery sections, I can keep presses and finishing equipment supplied and running to schedule.
In my last role, I loaded paper stock and ink into an offset press and monitored output for misaligned sheets. By catching faults early and sorting them from good work, I cut the number of sheets sent to waste each week and helped the team meet dispatch deadlines without reprints. I also operated guillotines and folders, and kept my work area clean and safe.
I am keen to work for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I would like to bring my reliability and attention to detail to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your print production.
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.
