The cover letter can be an essential component of your job application, as it is an opportunity to present your self to prospective employers and present why you’re a good candidate for the job. Writing a cover letter can be a challenging task, particularly if not sure what to include or how to format it.

Learn about the company as well as the job requirements, and then use this information to highlight how your skills and experience align with what they are searching for.
  2. Make sure you use a professional tone. Your cover letter will be an official document and therefore it is essential to maintain a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too casual language. Stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Keep it brief The cover letter should be no longer than one page It’s crucial to be short and get to the point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter simple to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm: Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about the job and the company. Your cover letter should express your excitement for the job and to explain why you’re a good fit to the position.

For example the cover letter for a job that requires creativity in the design field could be more visually appealing and include pictures and graphics, whereas the cover letter for a position in finance might be more reserved and concentrate on your skills and experience.

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 Rotorua resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

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
