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 Tram Driver
I am writing to apply for the Tram Driver role at [Company Name]. With experience operating light rail vehicles on fixed city routes and a strong focus on safety and customer service, I am confident I can contribute to reliable and punctual services.
In my current position, I complete pre-departure checks on brakes, doors and safety equipment before every shift, and I report any defects promptly to depot. I have also managed disrupted services by following safeworking procedures, making clear passenger announcements and coordinating with network control via two-way radio. This helped keep passengers informed and reduced confusion during delays.
I am particularly interested in working for [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I share your commitment to safe, accessible and efficient public transport, and I would welcome the chance to bring my skills to your team.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I look forward to discussing how I can contribute to your operations.
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.
