The Importance of a Cover Letter

Posted by Perth Professional Resume Writers on 20 Apr 2025

A cover letter to accompany a resume is an important aspect of the job application process. While a resume provides a summary of your qualifications and experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and explain why you are the ideal candidate for the position.

Here are some of the most important things to remember when writing a cover letter to your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job The cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the hiring manager how excited you are for the position and how eager you are to work for their business. By expressing your interest in the company, you’ll make a good impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences Cover letters are an opportunity to display particular skills and experiences that make you well-suited to the position. By highlighting how your qualifications are in line with the requirements for the position, you can enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any doubts the hiring manager might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if have a gap in your work history or a lack of experience in a specific field and you want to justify why this shouldn’t be a problem and what other skills will make the up-side.
  • Helping 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 job you are applying for and the company, you will be able to show that you have conducted your own research and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Showcasing your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism: A cover letter is an indication of your writing ability as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey that you are a polished and professional candidate who takes the interview process seriously.
