The structure that works for apprenticeships
Who you are and what you are looking for
Course, school, length and schedule of the apprenticeship, start date. In two lines the recruiter knows whether the dates work.
What you can already do
One or two concrete examples, with a result. Internship, student job, course project, association: everything counts.
Why this company
A specific reason that couldn't be copied into another letter. It is the paragraph that proves you are not sending the same letter everywhere.
The close
One sentence offering an interview, then the sign-off. Nothing more is needed.
Three rules before you send
One page, no more
Between 250 and 350 words. Beyond that, the end doesn't get read.
The ad's own words
Reuse the exact terms from the ad that you can back up. Screening software looks for them.
One letter per job
At the very least, the third paragraph changes every time. That is what Joblio does from the job description.
Frequently asked
questions
Do I need a cover letter for an apprenticeship?
Not always, but when the ad asks for one, leaving it out rules you out. And when it is optional, a targeted letter sets you apart from one-click applications.
What should I write if I have no experience?
Your course projects, a student job, an association, a personal project. A recruiter hiring an apprentice doesn't expect a career, they expect proof that you learn and finish what you start.
Should I state the work-study schedule?
Yes, in the first paragraph: length, schedule and start date. It is the constraint the company checks first.
