How to Write a Pile Driver Cover Letter
Key Takeaways
- Open with your most relevant qualification: the specific equipment or project type that matches the job posting
- Keep it under one page -- construction hiring managers scan, they do not read
- Include your union local number, OSHA certifications, and CDL status in the first two paragraphs
- Reference the specific project or contract if the posting names it -- this signals that you are not sending a generic letter
- Close with availability: when you can start, whether you can travel, and whether you can work overtime/weekends
