Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Brisbane Pro Resume Writing on 29 Sep 2025

The creation of a cover note for the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume provides an overview of your skills and knowledge, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and present the reasons why you’re the ideal candidate for the job.

Here are some important points to consider when you write a cover letter for your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the position: A cover letter is a great opportunity to show the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about your job and the desire to be a part of their organization. Through expressing your passion for the business, you will make a good impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to show specific skills and experience that makes you suitable for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills are in line with the requirements for the job, you will improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • Affirming any possible concerns: A cover letter can be used to address any doubts that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For instance, if have a gap in your work history or have a lack of expertise in a particular field it is possible to explain why this isn’t a problem and what other skills help to make up for it.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written cover note can help you stand out other applicants. By adapting your cover letter to the particular job and company, it will show that you’ve done your research and that you understand what the company is looking for.
  • Your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism: A cover letter is an indication 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 selection process seriously.

But, writing the cover letter could be time-consuming and challenging. It’s crucial to customize your cover letter to the specific position and company, but the chances are that you’ll make mistakes.

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.
