The Importance of a Cover Letter

Posted by Kempsey Resume on 27 Apr 2025

A cover letter to accompany your resume is a crucial aspect of the job application process. While a resume gives an overview of your abilities and experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce yourself to the manager who is hiring you and provide the reason why you are most suitable to the job.

Here are some key points to consider when writing a cover letter for your resume.

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job: A cover letter is a great opportunity to show the hiring manager how excited you are about your job and how eager you are to be a part of their organization. By expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you can create a positive impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences Cover letters are an opportunity to highlight particular skills and experience that makes you suitable for the job. If you highlight how your credentials match the requirements of the position, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: Cover letters allow you to address any doubts the hiring manager may have about your qualifications. For example, if have gaps in your work history or lack experience in a particular field and you want to justify why this isn’t an issue and explain how your other credentials will make up for it.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover letter will make you stand out among other candidates. By tailoring your cover letter to the job you are applying for and the company, it will show that you have done your research and you understand what the company is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism Cover letters are an indication of your writing abilities focus on detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey an impression that you’re a professional and polished candidate who takes the interview process seriously.

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 Kempsey 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.

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.
