  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter allows you to address any issues the hiring manager may be concerned about your credentials. For example, if have gaps in your professional history or lack of experience in a specific field and you want to justify the reason why this doesn’t matter and explain how your other credentials will make the up-side.

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 Canberra 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.
