Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Bendigo Resume on 20 Feb 2025

The creation of a cover note for the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume offers a summary of your qualifications and experience, a cover letter will allow you to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and provide the reason why you are the best fit to the job.

Here are some key points to consider when writing a cover letters for your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job Your cover letter can be an excellent way to inform the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and how eager you are to work for their business. In expressing your enthusiasm for the business, you will impress the hiring manager and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have: A cover letter is an opportunity to show specific skills and experience that makes you suitable for the job. If you highlight how your credentials correspond to the requirements of the position, you’ll enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter can be used to address any concerns the hiring manager may be concerned about your credentials. For example, if you have gaps in your professional history or a lack of experience in a specific field it is possible to explain the reason why this doesn’t matter and explain how your other credentials can make the up-side.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can help you stand out other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the particular job and company, it will show that you have done your research and you know what the company is looking for.
  • Your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism Cover letters are an expression of your writing ability, attention to detail, and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter will demonstrate that you are a polished and professional candidate who takes the job 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 Bendigo 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.
