Selling Yourself Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Brisbane Resume Writing Services on 17 Feb 2025

The writing of a cover letter for your resume is a crucial aspect of the job application process. While a resume offers an overview of your skills and work experience, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and state why you’re most suitable to the job.

Here are some essential points to keep in mind when writing a cover letter for your resume:

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the position Cover letters are an excellent opportunity to tell the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are for the position and the desire to work for their company. By expressing your enthusiasm for the organization, you’ll make a good impression and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to highlight particular skills and experiences that will make you a good fit to the position. If you highlight how your credentials match the requirements of the job, you’ll improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Affirming any possible concerns: A cover letter can be used to address any concerns that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if have gaps in your work history or have a lack of expertise in a certain area, you can explain why this isn’t a problem and what other skills help to make the up-side.
  • Making 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 company, it will show that you have done your homework and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an indication of your writing ability as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A well-written cover letter will convey the impression of a polished and professional candidate who is taking the application process seriously.

I ordered the Gold Package which was a Resume and Cover letter. I would honestly rate it an easy 10/10. Not only was the resume and cover letter perfect but the Customer Service is what really blew me away. Literally a few minutes after making the order I was contacted and a resume plan was formulated. Thank You Tanja :)
Sev
Very professional, easy to deal with and great communication. Highly recommended.
Brian Horsfield
Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.

I found Tanya very prompt, she returned a resume and covering letter that looked and read very professionally within 4 days.
Athena Dennis
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 Brisbane 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.
