Selling Yourself Self-Selling: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Maryborough Resume on 20 Jan 2025

Writing a cover letter for a resume is an important element of the job application process. While a resume gives the details of your education, qualifications and work experiences, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and provide the reason why you are an ideal fit for the position.

Here are some essential points to be aware of when writing a cover note for your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the job Cover letters are an excellent way to inform the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are for the position and how eager you are to work for their business. Through expressing your passion for the company, you can make a good impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting particular skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to highlight specific skills and experiences that make you well-suited for the job. Through highlighting how your abilities meet the needs 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 doubts the hiring manager may have about your qualifications. For example, if have a gap in your career or lack of experience in a certain area, you can explain why this isn’t an issue and what other skills help to make an uproar.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can help you stand out from other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the specific position and company, it will show that you’ve done your homework and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism The cover letter is an expression of your writing ability and attention to detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter will demonstrate the impression of a professional and polished candidate who takes the job interview process seriously.

However, writing the cover letter could be lengthy and demanding. It’s important to tailor your cover letter to fit the job and organization, and you’re likely to stumble.

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 :)

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 Maryborough resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
