Optimizing Your Resume using the Cover Letter

Posted by Bendigo Resume on 20 Feb 2025

Writing a cover letter for a resume is an important aspect of the job application process. While a resume gives an overview of your abilities and knowledge, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are most suitable for the position.

Here are some of the most important things to consider when you write a cover letter to include on your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the position: A cover letter is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and how eager you are to be a part of their organization. Through expressing your passion for the business, you will build a positive impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences: A cover letter is an opportunity to display specific abilities and experience that makes you suitable for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills correspond to the requirements of the position, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Affirming any possible concerns: The cover letter is a way for you to address any issues the hiring manager may have about your qualifications. For instance, if you have gaps in your professional history or have a lack of expertise in a specific field You can provide a reason why this shouldn’t be a problem and what other skills can make up for it.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written cover letter can make you stand out among other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the particular job and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your homework and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents and attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are a reflection of your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show your professionalism and show that you’re a polished and professional candidate who is taking the interview process seriously.

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 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 Bendigo resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
