Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to apply for the Beautician role. I have 4 years of experience in skin care, threading, waxing and bridal make-up, and many of my clients return regularly.
In my current role I served 15 to 20 clients a day in a busy salon. I would bring the same care to your team, along with strengths in Facials, Threading and Waxing.
Thank you for your time. I would be glad to talk about how I can help. I can join within 30 days.
Yours sincerely,
Sample Candidate

Tips
- Name the exact role and where you saw it.
- Pick 2 results that match the job post and give numbers.
- Do not repeat your whole resume.
- Keep the tone polite and simple.
Recruiters often read the letter only after an ATS (applicant tracking system, the software many employers use to store, search and filter resumes) has shortlisted your resume, so use the job post’s key skills in both.
