Selling Yourself Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Wollongong Resume on 24 Jan 2025

A cover letter to accompany the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume gives a summary of your qualifications and work knowledge, a cover letter will allow you to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and provide the reason why you are most suitable for the job.

Here are some essential points to be aware of when writing a cover note to your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job: A cover letter is an excellent way to inform the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about your job and how eager you are to work for their business. By expressing your interest in the company, you’ll make a good impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have Cover letters are an opportunity to showcase particular abilities and experiences that help you be a perfect fit to the position. By highlighting how your qualifications match the requirements of the job, you’ll enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any doubts the hiring manager might have about your qualifications. For example, if have a gap in your professional history or have a lack of expertise in a certain area and you want to justify why this isn’t an issue and what other skills make an uproar.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover note can make you stand out from other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the specific position and business, you can show that you’ve conducted your own research and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents, attention to detail, and professionalism A cover letter should be an indication of your writing abilities and attention to detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey the impression of a polished and professional candidate who takes the selection process seriously.

But, writing your cover letter can be difficult and time-consuming. It is essential to customize your cover letter to the specific job and organization, and the chances are that you’ll make mistakes. It’s the reason employing a professional resume writing service like Wollongong Resume can be a great idea.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.
