“After leading a team that grew solar installation output by [X%] at [Company], I was excited to see [Company Name]'s opening for a Solar Panel Installer. Your focus on [specific company initiative] aligns with the work I've been doing for the past [X years].”
Weak opening to avoid:
“I am writing to apply for the Solar Panel Installer position I saw posted on your website. I believe I am a strong candidate...”
