Why a Cover Letter Matters

Posted by Kempsey Resume on 27 Apr 2025

Writing a cover letter for a resume is an important element of the job application process. While a resume offers a summary of your qualifications and work knowledge, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are the ideal candidate to the job.

Here are some important points to remember when you write a cover letter for your resume.

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the job Cover letters are the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are for the position and the desire to work for their company. In expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you can make a good impression and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting your specific abilities and experience The cover letter provides an opportunity to showcase particular skills and experiences that will make you a good fit to the position. By highlighting how your qualifications correspond to the requirements of the position, you can improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. The cover letter is a way for you to address any potential concerns the hiring manager might have regarding your skills. For example, if you have gaps in your work history or a lack of experience in a certain area and you want to justify why this isn’t an issue and how your other qualifications help to make the up-side.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written cover letter will make you stand out from other applicants. By tailoring your cover letter to the specific job and company, you will be able to show that you have done your research and that you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents focus on detail and professionalism A cover letter should be an indication of your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A well-written cover letter will convey an impression that you’re a polished and professional candidate who takes the interview process seriously.

But writing your cover letter can be time-consuming and challenging. It’s important to tailor your cover letter to your specific job and company, and it’s easy to make mistakes.
