Improve Your Resume with the help of a Cover Letter

Posted by Hastings Resume on 27 Oct 2025

Writing a cover letter for a resume is an important step in the job application process. While a resume gives an overview of your skills and work knowledge, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and provide the reason why you are the best fit for the position.

Here are some key points to keep in mind when writing a cover note for your resume.

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job The cover letter is a great opportunity to show the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the role and how eager you are to work for their company. In expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you can create a positive impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences In a cover letter, you have an opportunity to show particular abilities and experiences that make you well-suited to the position. Through highlighting how your abilities meet the needs of the position, you can enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any potential concerns the hiring manager might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if you have a gap in your work history or have a lack of expertise in a specific field You can provide a reason why this isn’t a problem and explain how your other credentials help to make up for it.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written cover letter can help you stand out other applicants. By making your cover letter specific to the specific job and company, it will show that you’ve done your homework and that you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents and attention to detail and professionalism The cover letter is an expression of your writing abilities as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show the impression of a polished and professional candidate who takes the job application process seriously.

But, writing an effective cover letter is difficult and time-consuming. It’s crucial to tailor your cover letter specifically to the 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 Hastings 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.
