The importance of a Cover Letter

Posted by Rotorua Resume on 5 Jul 2025

A cover letter to accompany a resume is an important aspect of the job application process. While a resume is the details of your education, qualifications and experiences, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and state why you’re an ideal fit for the job.

Here are some key points to remember when you write a cover letter for your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the position The cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and your desire to work for their business.

  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to showcase specific skills and experiences that will make you a good fit to the position. Through highlighting how your abilities are in line with the requirements for the job, you’ll improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter can be used to address any concerns that the manager who is hiring you might have about your qualifications. For example, if have a gap in your work history or lack of experience in a specific field You can provide a reason why this isn’t an issue and explain how your other credentials make an uproar.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover letter will make you stand out among other applicants. By making your cover letter specific to the specific position and company, you can demonstrate that you’ve conducted your own research and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an example of your writing skills focus on detail and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show the impression of a polished and professional applicant who takes the application process seriously.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob
