A structured letter with example content specific to this role. Replace the bracketed placeholders and adjust the details to the job you're actually applying for.
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 Wool Handler
I am writing to apply for the Wool Handler role at [Company Name]. With several shearing seasons behind me and a solid understanding of the wool room, I can step onto the board and keep the clip moving cleanly.
In my last shed, I worked the wool table during a six-stand run, skirting stained and burry edges so the classer could sort lines quickly. I also took responsibility for the press, baling and branding fleeces to the grower's specification and keeping the wool room free of contamination between pens. The classer commented that the lines were cleaner than usual, which meant fewer rejections and less rework.
I am drawn to [Company Name] because [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to].
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume and am available for an interview at your convenience.
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.
