What makes a strong trades cover letter
- •Keep it under one page — three or four short paragraphs is plenty.
- •Name the company and the role in the first paragraph; generic letters get skipped.
- •Lead with your license or certification if the posting requires one.
- •Match one or two of your real results to what the posting asks for — numbers beat adjectives.
- •Close with a direct ask for an interview or a call.
Pair it with a trade-specific resume
