The importance of a cover letter

Posted by Pro Resume Writers Hobart on 2 Sep 2025

The writing of a cover letter for a resume is an important part of the application process. While a resume provides an overview of your abilities and experiences, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and provide the reason why you are most suitable for the job.

Here are some key points to keep in mind when writing a cover note for your resume.

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the job Cover letters are the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and the desire to be a part of their organization. By expressing your enthusiasm for the organization, you’ll create a positive impression and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to display particular skills and experiences that will make you a good fit to the position. By highlighting how your qualifications correspond to the requirements of the position, you can enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. The cover letter is a way for you to address any doubts that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if have a gap in your employment history or lack experience in a specific area it is possible to explain the reason why this doesn’t matter and how your other qualifications help to make the up-side.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out from other applicants. By tailoring your cover letter to the job you are applying for and the business, you can show that you’ve done your homework and that you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an expression of your writing abilities as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter will demonstrate your professionalism and show that you’re a polished and professional candidate who takes the job application process seriously.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Tanja thank you so much for the fast turnaround and also how well you updated my CV. I had a particular job advert I needed responses for and to update my CV at the same time. Tanja provided excellent customer service and contacted me within a day and worked to the tight timeframe I had. I would definitely use SR again and highly recommend Tanja herself. Thank you again.

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 Hobart resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
