Dear Mr. Schaefer:

Today I read on JobSearchJimmy.com your posting for jobs in construction—carpenters, roofers, painters, plumbers, and others, to fill out the roster of workers needed for your new shopping center project on the edge of Big Town.

I am a carpenter with five years of experience—starting at entry-level and then after two years promoted to assistant manager for the carpentry crew during a housing project for the Judson and Sons Construction Company in Little Town. I feel well qualified to bid for the opening at your company as carpentry crew manager.

If you're available to meet in person, I will be happy to accommodate your schedule.
Please call me at 777-777-7777 if you'd like to talk about this particular job. In my former employment overseeing a crew has given me the most experience and satisfaction. I'm a team player. I have leadership skills, and I enjoy working hard for a stated purpose and goal.

Thank you for reading my cover letter and I hope to hear from you soon.

Sincerely,

Jacob Job Searcher
