Example of an Esthetician Cover Letter

Helpful Writing Hint: If a job as an esthetician interests you, be sure to include information in your cover letters that is specific to the kind of work you specialize in: skin care, body treatments, facials, waxing, or cosmetic procedures, etc. Let the employer know your availability for accepting the job, when you can start, and what he or she can expect from you. For example, are you flexible? Can you perform a variety of treatments, depending on the clients' needs and preferences? Your letter should be a solid piece of writing that makes clear what you can do and what you are most interested in and qualified for. Keep in mind that you want the hiring manager to select you above the other job applicants for an interview.

Dear Ms. Bailey:

This afternoon on JobSearchJimmy.com I noticed your post presenting an opening in your beauty clinic for an esthetician with experience in a variety of roles. I am such a person. I have my state certification and license and three years of experience on the East Coast giving facials and skin care treatments as well as cosmetic advice to clients with allergies or skin problems.

Your clinic is an environment that is very appealing to me. In fact, I came in for a facial a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the customer care and professional treatment as well as the friendly and encouraging comments from the staff. I knew then I'd like to apply for a job if one opened.

So here I am with your job post in hand, eager to meet with you in person so I can show you my credentials and the many references I've received from satisfied clients as well as previous employers.

For more details about my work experience, I invite you to read my attached resume. I'm also available for a phone interview or an in-person meeting if you'd like to speak about the job requirements and how I can best fill them. Please call me any weekday or evening at 777-777-7777 to set up an appointment.

Thank you for reading this cover letter, my resume and references, and for considering me for the job.

Sincerely,

Rhonda Job Searcher
