The Cover Letter is the Resume's Best Friend

Posted by Rockhampton Resume on 2 Mar 2025

The creation of a cover note for your resume is a crucial step in the job application process. While a resume provides a summary of your qualifications and knowledge, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and state why you’re the best fit for the job.

Here are some essential points to remember when writing a cover letter for your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the position The cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the job and the desire 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 specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to highlight particular abilities and experiences that help you be a perfect fit to the position. In highlighting the ways your skills meet the needs of the position, you can improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any concerns the hiring manager might have about your qualifications. For instance, if you have gaps in your work history or lack experience in a particular field You can provide a reason why this isn’t an issue and what other skills can make more up for it.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover note can make you stand out among other applicants. By adapting your cover letter to the job you are applying for and the company, it will show that you have done your homework and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities and attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an expression of your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show an impression that you’re a professional and polished candidate who is taking the interview process seriously.

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Rockhampton Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.

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.
