The Cover Letter is the Resume's Best Friend

Posted by Pro Resume Writers Canberra on 20 Apr 2025

The writing of a cover letter for the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume offers the details of your education, qualifications and work experience, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce yourself to the manager who is hiring you and provide the reason why you are the ideal candidate for the position.

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

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job Your cover letter can be the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are for the position and your desire to work for their company. In expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you can impress the hiring manager and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have The cover letter provides an opportunity to display particular abilities and experiences that make you well-suited for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills match the requirements of the job, you will increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter can be used to address any concerns the hiring manager might have regarding your skills. For instance, if have gaps in your work history or have a lack of expertise in a particular field and you want to justify why this shouldn’t be a problem and explain how your other credentials help to make the up-side.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written cover note can make you stand out among other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the job you are applying for and the company, you can demonstrate that you have done your homework and that you understand what the company is looking for.
  • Your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism The cover letter is a reflection of your writing ability focus on detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey an impression that you’re a polished and professional applicant who takes the selection process seriously.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Canberra resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

My resume was a complete mess, I sent my resume through and got a quick response from Tanja, she completely re-wrote the entire thing and turned it into a very impressive and professional document. awesome value for money and will not hesitate to get a cover letter written when the time comes. thank you so much.

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.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob
