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 Property Developer
I am applying for the Property Developer role with [Company Name]. My experience covers the parts of the job that decide whether a project actually works: site due diligence, feasibility, planning approval, finance, delivery and settlement.
In my most recent role I took a residential infill site from an off market approach through to a lodged development application. I ran the residual feasibility first to confirm the site could carry the product we had in mind, then coordinated the surveyor, planner, engineer and arborist so the plans and reports were consistent before lodgement. When council came back seeking more detail on stormwater and traffic, I worked with the consultant team to answer everything in one response rather than a series of amendments. That cut several weeks off the assessment period and kept the project on its funding timetable.
What draws me to [Company Name] is [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I want to work somewhere the pipeline is chosen deliberately rather than opportunistically, because that is where the discipline I bring to feasibility, risk and cost control makes the most difference.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would welcome the chance to talk through how I would approach your current and upcoming projects.
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.
