Cover Letter Writing 101

Posted by Brisbane Pro Resume Writing on 4 Jun 2025

A cover letter is an essential element of your application for employment since it provides an opportunity to present yourself to prospective employers and present why you’re a good candidate for the job. Writing a cover letter is a difficult task, particularly if not sure what to write or how to structure it. Here are some guidelines to write a cover letter that can make you stand above the rest of the applicants.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the position you’re applying to Every job is distinctive and therefore, it’s essential to adapt your cover letter to the specific position that you’re applying for. Study the company’s requirements and job requirements, and use this information to demonstrate the way your skills and experience coincide with what they’re looking for.
  2. Employ a professional tone Your cover letter will be a formal document It’s therefore essential to use an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang and informal language, and stick to a formal business tone.
  3. Be concise The cover letter should be one page or less, so it’s important to be succinct and get straight to the main points quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letters easy to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm: Employers want to see that you’re excited about the role and your company. Your cover letter should demonstrate your enthusiasm for the position and also explain why you’re the best fit for the role.
  5. Be sure to proofread before submitting an application letter to the employer, make sure you proofread it for any spelling or grammar mistakes. A cover letter that isn’t proofread could make a negative impression, so it’s crucial to make sure that the letter is error-free.

It’s important to recognize that different kinds of jobs require different types in cover letters. For instance one cover letter that is for a job in the design sector could be more visually appealing and include illustrations and pictures, while one for a position in the finance sector may be more formal and focus on your qualifications and experience.

In conclusion, a well-written resume can be a an enormous impression on your application for a job. By tailoring it to the specific job you’re applying to, with a professional tone, making it short, demonstrating your enthusiasm, and proofreading it, you’ll improve your chances of getting an interview.

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 Brisbane Resume.

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.

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.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Brisbane Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.
