Why a Cover Letter Matters

Posted by Kempsey Resume on 11 Nov 2025

The writing of a cover letter for the resume is an essential element of the job application process. While a resume gives an overview of your skills and work experiences, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and state why you’re the ideal candidate for the position.

Here are some essential points to be aware of when writing a cover note to include on your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the job The cover letter is an excellent way to inform the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the job and your desire to work for their business. Through expressing your passion for the company, you can make a good impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting your specific abilities and experience In a cover letter, you have an opportunity to show specific skills and experiences that will make you a good fit to the position. Through highlighting how your abilities are in line with the requirements for the position, you’ll improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: A cover letter can be used to address any issues the hiring manager may be concerned about your credentials. For example, if have a gap in your employment history or lack of experience in a specific field, you can explain why this isn’t an issue and explain how your other credentials help to make the up-side.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover note can help you stand out other applicants. By making your cover letter specific to the job you are applying for and the company, you will be able to show that you have conducted your own research and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Showcasing your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an example of your writing abilities as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show an impression that you’re a polished and professional applicant who takes the selection 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.
