Why a Cover Letter Matters

Posted by Hastings Resume on 11 Apr 2025

The creation of a cover note for the resume is an essential part of the application process. While a resume provides an overview of your abilities and knowledge, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are the best fit to the job.

Here are some of the most important things to consider when you write a cover letter to your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the position Your cover letter can be an excellent way to inform the hiring manager how excited you are about the role and the desire to work for their company. In expressing your enthusiasm for the business, you will impress the hiring manager and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting particular skills and experiences In a cover letter, you have an opportunity to highlight specific skills and experience that makes you suitable for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills are in line with the requirements for the position, you’ll improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter allows you to address any issues the hiring manager may be concerned about your credentials. For instance, if you have gaps in your career or lack of experience in a specific field and you want to justify why this isn’t a problem and explain how your other credentials can make an uproar.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out among other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the job you are applying for and the company, it will show that you’ve 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 A cover letter should be an expression of your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey that you are a polished and professional candidate who takes the selection process seriously.

However, writing a cover letter can be laborious and difficult. It’s crucial to customize your cover letter to the specific job and the company, and you’re likely to stumble. It’s the reason employing a professional resume writing service such as Hastings Resume can be a great idea.

Tanya created a resume and cover letter for me. Her writing is powerful and wonderfully descriptive yet succinct where it needs to be; and perfectly summarised all of my ideas. Her communication was efficient and punctual, and I received my final products within two working days of payment. Thank you Tanya!

First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Hastings Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.

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.

Thank you so much for taking my jumble of documents and turning them into such an excellent resume and cover letter. I am so impressed by the quality and speed of your work while being really responsive to my needs. I feel much more confident in my job search now.

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.

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Hastings Resume.
