Selling Yourself Self-Selling: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Whyalla Resume on 20 Sep 2024

The writing of a cover letter for a resume is an important aspect of the job application process. While a resume provides the details of your education, qualifications and work experience, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and explain why you are most suitable to the job.

Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind when writing a cover letters to your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job: A cover letter is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are for the position and the desire to work for their company. By expressing your interest in the business, you will make a good impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences Cover letters are an opportunity to display specific skills and experiences that help you be a perfect fit for the job. Through highlighting how your abilities are in line with the requirements for the job, you will improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • Affirming any possible concerns: A cover letter can be used to address any concerns the hiring manager may have regarding your skills. For example, if have gaps in your employment history or lack of experience in a particular field it is possible to explain why this shouldn’t be a problem and explain how your other credentials make more up for it.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out from other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the specific job and company, it will show that you have conducted your own research and that you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Showcasing your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an indication of your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show the impression of a professional and polished candidate who is taking the selection process seriously.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.
