Writing a standout cover letter

Posted by Traralgon Resume on 10 Dec 2025

The cover letter can be a vital part of your job application and is an opportunity to present you to potential employers and present why you’re the most suitable candidate for the position. Writing a cover letter can be a challenging job, especially if uncertain of what to include or how to structure it. Here are some suggestions for writing a cover letter to help you stand apart from your competitors.

  1. Customize your cover letter for the position you’re applying to Each job is distinct therefore it is important to customize your cover letter to the particular job you’re applying to. Learn about the company as well as the job requirements, and then use this information to demonstrate how your skills and experience coincide with what they’re seeking.
  2. Make sure you use a professional tone. Cover letters are a formal letter that’s why it’s crucial to maintain an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang or overly casual language, and stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Make it short and concise Your cover letter should be no more than a page It’s crucial to be concise and get straight to the main points quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re passionate about the job and the company. Your cover letter should show your enthusiasm for the job and to explain why you’re a good fit to the position.
  5. Proofread: Before submitting your cover letter, be sure you proofread it for spelling or grammar errors. A cover letter with errors could make a negative impression, so it’s crucial to ensure it’s error free.

It is important to remember that different types of jobs will require different kinds of cover letters. For instance an application letter to a position in the design field could be more visual , and contain pictures and graphics, whereas one for a job in finance may be more reserved and concentrate on your qualifications and experience.

In the end, a well-written resume can be a an enormous difference in your job application. If you tailor it to the job that you’re applying for, in a professional manner, making it short, demonstrating your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you’ll increase the likelihood of getting an interview.

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.
