Why a Cover Letter is Important

Posted by Goulburn Resume on 20 Oct 2025

Writing a cover letter for the resume is an essential element of the job application process. While a resume is an overview of your abilities and work experience, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce yourself to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are the ideal candidate for the job.

Here are some of the most important things to remember when writing a cover letters to your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job Your cover letter can be a great opportunity to show the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are for the position and the desire to work for their company. By expressing your interest in the company, you can make a good impression and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting particular skills and experiences In a cover letter, you have an opportunity to showcase particular abilities and experience that makes you suitable for the job. If you highlight how your credentials match the requirements of the job, you will improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any potential concerns that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For instance, if have gaps in your work history or have a lack of expertise in a specific area, you can explain why this isn’t a problem and explain how your other credentials make the up-side.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover letter can make you stand out from other applicants. By tailoring your cover letter to the job you are applying for and the business, you can show that you have done your research and you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents, attention to detail, and professionalism The cover letter is an example of your writing ability and 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.

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
