Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Whangarei Resume on 7 Jul 2025

Writing a cover letter for a resume is an important part of the application process. While a resume is an overview of your skills and work experiences, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and explain why you are most suitable for the position.

Here are some important points to keep in mind when writing a cover note to include on your resume:

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the job Cover letters are the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are for the position and how eager you are to work for their business. By expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you can create a positive impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to showcase particular skills and experiences that will make you a good fit for the job. Through highlighting how your abilities meet the needs of the job, you’ll improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. Cover letters allow you to address any potential concerns the hiring manager may have regarding your skills. For instance, if have a gap in your career or lack experience in a specific area, you can explain why this isn’t an issue and how your other qualifications help to make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out among other applicants. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the specific job and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your research and that you understand what the company is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an expression of your writing ability as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey your professionalism and show that you’re a professional and polished candidate who takes the application process seriously.

Fantastic people to deal with, fast efficient service. Tanja updated my very outdated resume and cover letter. Outstanding work! Thank you so much!

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 Whangarei Resume.

Tanya created a resume and cover letter for me. Her writing is powerful and wonderfully descriptive yet succinct where it needs to be; and perfectly summarised all of my ideas. Her communication was efficient and punctual, and I received my final products within two working days of payment. Thank you Tanya!
