Cover letter examples for specific roles

Use an example to understand the structure, then write a letter around your own evidence and the actual vacancy.

Tailored, every time

A cover letter that could be sent to any employer for any role isn't doing its job. Use these examples to learn the structure, then rewrite the content around the specific role and organisation you're applying to.

A flexible structure, not a template

Most effective cover letters follow a loose three-to-five-paragraph shape: why this role, evidence that you can do it, and a confident close. Adapt the shape rather than filling in a rigid template.

Roles covered

Currently featured: customer service, administration and sales — each showing the kind of evidence and tone that tends to land for that type of role.

Connect it to your CV

Your cover letter should draw on the same evidence as your CV, not repeat it word for word — use it to add context and highlight the one or two things most relevant to this specific vacancy.

Before you send it

Check you've read the actual job description, referenced something specific about the employer, and haven't reused a paragraph from a previous application without checking it still fits.
