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 Sewing Machine Mechanic
I am applying for the Sewing Machine Mechanic role at [Company Name]. I have spent my working life around sewing machines, diagnosing faults, servicing industrial and domestic units and getting them back into production or back into a customer's hands without fuss.
In my most recent workshop, a manufacturer kept losing production time on a bank of overlockers that were overheating and shredding thread. I traced the problem to a mix of incorrect needle plates and lubrication intervals that did not match the fabric being run. I rebuilt the servicing schedule around the actual workload, replaced the mismatched plates, and showed two operators how to do basic daily checks. Downtime on that bank dropped noticeably and the machines stopped coming back with the same fault.
[add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached and sets out my servicing, fault diagnosis and repair background in more detail. I would welcome the chance to talk through how I would look after your machines.
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.
