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 Sales Coordinator
I am writing to apply for the Sales Coordinator position at [Company Name]. With my experience in coordinating orders, quotes and customer accounts, I am confident I can help keep your sales operations running smoothly.
In my current role as a sales coordinator for a wholesale distributor, I manage the end-to-end order process for key accounts. When a regular client's order was delayed due to a stock discrepancy, I liaised with the warehouse team to locate alternative stock and arranged expedited dispatch. The client received their order the next day and thanked me for keeping them informed throughout. This experience taught me the value of clear communication and proactive problem-solving.
I am particularly drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and look forward to discussing how my skills can benefit [Company Name].
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.
