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 Test and Tag Technician
I am writing to apply for the Test and Tag Technician role at [Company Name]. With hands-on experience testing and tagging portable electrical equipment across a range of industries, I am confident I can help your clients maintain safe and compliant workplaces.
In my current role, I test and tag portable electrical equipment across multiple sites, including construction, hospitality and healthcare. One recent example: I was asked to bring a large manufacturing client's equipment register up to date. I conducted insulation resistance, earth continuity and polarity tests on their power tools and leads, recorded results in PATGuard, and replaced missing or damaged tags. I also advised the client on several faulty items that needed repair. The client passed their next safety audit without any electrical equipment issues.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I appreciate organisations that prioritise safety and quality, and I would welcome the chance to contribute to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review. I look forward to discussing how my test and tag experience can support your clients.
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.
