Posted by Manukau Resume on 10 Dec 2024

The cover letter can be an essential component of your job application because it gives you an opportunity to introduce yourself to prospective employers and to explain why you are the best candidate for the position. However, writing a cover letter is a difficult job, especially if not sure what to include or how to format it. Here are some tips for writing a cover letters that will make you stand above the rest of the applicants.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the position you’re applying to: Each job is unique and therefore, it’s essential to tailor your cover letters to the specific position that you’re applying for. Study the company’s requirements and specifications for the job, and use this information to emphasize the way your skills and experience correspond with what they’re searching for.
  2. Use a professional tone: Cover letters are an official document and therefore it is essential to adopt a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too casual language. Stick to a formal, professional tone.
  3. Keep it brief: A cover letter should be no longer than one page So it’s essential to be short and get straight to the point quickly. Use bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter simple to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm Employers want to know that you’re passionate about the role and your company. Your cover letter should convey your enthusiasm for the job and to explain why you’re the perfect fit for the position.
  5. Be sure to proofread before submitting your cover letter, make sure to proofread it for spelling and grammar errors. A cover letter with errors could leave a bad impression. Therefore, it’s vital to ensure it’s error free.

It’s important to recognize that different types of jobs will require different types of cover letters. For example an application letter for a job that requires creativity in the design industry may be more visually appealing and include images and graphs, whereas the cover letter for a position in the finance industry could be more conservative and concentrate on your skills and experience.

In the end, a professionally written covering letter could make a a big difference in your job application.

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

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.
