How to structure it

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 Telecommunications Technologist
I am applying for the Telecommunications Technologist role with [Company Name]. My background combines field installation and commissioning with the testing, fault-finding and documentation discipline that keeps carrier and enterprise networks reliable.
In a recent contract I was part of a small crew commissioning fibre and transmission equipment across exchange and customer sites. I tested links with OTDR and spectrum analysers, configured routers and switches to design specifications, and updated asset records so maintenance teams could trace every service. When a link failed acceptance, I traced the issue to a contaminated connector and a mislabelled patch panel, corrected both and re-ran the tests, which kept the activation on schedule and gave the operations team a clean handover pack.
I want to work with [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am looking for a team where safety, accurate records and first-time-right installation are treated as core parts of the job, not paperwork.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume, which outlines my technical skills and field experience. I would welcome the chance to discuss how I can support your network build and maintenance programs.
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.
