Samples of DJ job cover letters

When applying for a DJ job, your cover letter is an opportunity for you to tell your story, without being stuck in the formatting constraints of the resume. The best format for writing a cover letter is as follows:

• Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the recipient’s name, you can refer to them as the hiring manager.

• The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening. 

• Make a brief statement about why you’re interested in the position. Write a paragraph about why you are the perfect candidate for the job.

• State your skills and work experience. Ensure your skills and experiences are similar to the job position. When highlighting skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved. 

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position further.”

Sample 5:

“I am writing to express my interest in the DJ position that you have available. I believe that I would be a great addition to your team and would love the opportunity to work with you.

I have been a DJ for over 10 years now, and I have worked at many different venues. I have experience working with all kinds of crowds, from small intimate gatherings to large raucous parties. I have also had the pleasure of working with some of the best DJs in the business, and I have learned a lot from them. My experience has taught me how to read a crowd and keep them entertained. It has also given me the skills necessary to mix music together seamlessly so that people can dance all night long.

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to read a crowd and know what they want to hear next. This skill comes from my experience as well as my natural intuition. I can tell when people are getting tired of one song or another, and I can change it up before things get too boring. Another strength of mine is my ability to work with other DJs. I have done this many times in the past, and I am very comfortable doing it again.

I am confident that I would be an asset to your team, and I would love the chance to prove it to you in person. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.”
