Cover Letter: The Resume's Best Friend

Posted by Rotorua Resume on 5 Jul 2025

A cover letter to accompany the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume offers a summary of your qualifications and work 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 to the job.

Here are some essential points to remember when writing a cover note to include on your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the job The cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the hiring manager how excited you are for the position and how much you want to work for their company. In expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you can make a good impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting particular skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to display particular skills and experiences that make you well-suited for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills correspond to the requirements of the job, you’ll improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. The cover letter is a way for you to address any issues that the manager who is hiring you might have regarding your skills. For example, if you have gaps in your professional history or a lack of experience in a particular field You can provide a reason why this shouldn’t be a problem and what other skills can make more up for it.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover letter will help you stand out from other candidates. By tailoring your cover letter to the specific position and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your homework and that you understand what the company is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents focus on detail and professionalism A cover letter should be a reflection of your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A well-written cover letter will convey an impression that you’re a professional and polished candidate who takes the job application process seriously.

From the moment I called to get some information on the process involved, I was taken by how efficient and professional Tanja was with assisting me. Tanja was patient and prompt with her replying to me with my queries, she was more than happy to make many changes for me with no fuss at all.

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 Rotorua Resume.
