How to structure it

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 Vision Impairment Teacher
I am writing to apply for the Vision Impairment Teacher position with [Company Name]. With a teaching degree and postgraduate training in vision impairment, I bring both classroom experience and specialist skills in Braille, assistive technology and inclusive curriculum design.
In my current role, I supported a Year 6 student who was transitioning from print to braille. I assessed her functional vision, designed a sequenced braille program, and worked with her classroom teacher to adapt daily lessons into accessible digital and hard-copy formats. By the end of the year she was reading contracted braille at grade level and using a BrailleNote Touch independently for note-taking. I also ran lunchtime sessions for her education assistant so the support continued when I was not on site.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I am particularly interested in how your team supports students across different school settings, and I would welcome the chance to contribute to that work.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I would be glad to discuss how my experience matches your needs. I look forward to hearing from you.
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.
