Posted by Bendigo Resume on 28 Aug 2024

The cover letter can be a crucial element of your application for employment and is an opportunity to introduce yourself to potential employers and present why you’re a good candidate for the position. However, writing a covering letter can be a challenging job, especially if not sure of what you should include or how to structure it. Here are some helpful tips to compose a cover letter that can help you stand out from the competition.

Research the company and the job requirements, and use this information to highlight your experience and skills that align with what they are looking for.
  2. Maintain a professional tone A cover letter is a formal piece of writing, so it’s important to adopt a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang and casual language. Stick to a formal and professional tone.
  3. Keep it concise Cover letters should be one page or less So it’s essential to be short and get to the point quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letters easy to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about the job and the company. Your cover letter should show your enthusiasm for the position and also explain why you’re the perfect fit for the job.
  5. When you’re submitting your letter of cover, make sure to proofread it for spelling and grammar errors. A cover letter with errors could leave a bad impression, therefore it’s essential to ensure it’s error free.

It’s important to note that different kinds of jobs may require different types and styles of resumes. For instance, a cover letter to a position in the field of design could be more visually appealing and include pictures and graphics, whereas the cover letter for a position in the finance sector may be more conservative and concentrate on your education and experience.

In the end, a well-written covering letter could make a a big impact on the way you apply for jobs.

I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere with my job hunting so I thought I would give the professionals a go. I was so pleased with the thoroughness from Bendigo Resume. They make you do a little bit of work for them so they can get a really good feel of who you are about, they then take your talents and showcase them in a truly polished professional series of documents. Thanks for getting me out of the jobhunt blues!

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Bendigo Resume.

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 :)
