The importance of a cover letter

Posted by Bendigo Professional Resume Writers on 1 Jul 2026

A cover letter to accompany the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume provides the details of your education, qualifications and work experiences, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce your self to the hiring manager and present the reasons why you’re the best fit to the job.

Here are some important points to consider when writing a cover letter to your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the position The cover letter is an excellent way to inform the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and the desire to work for their business. In expressing your enthusiasm for the organization, you’ll impress the hiring manager and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences: A cover letter is an opportunity to highlight particular skills and experiences that help you be a perfect fit for the job. If you highlight how your credentials are in line with the requirements for the job, you will improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. A cover letter can be used to address any concerns the hiring manager may have regarding your skills. For instance, if have a gap in your work history or lack experience in a specific area, you can explain why this shouldn’t be a problem and explain how your other credentials can make the up-side.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover note can make you stand out among other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the job you are applying for and the company, you can demonstrate that you’ve done your research and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities and attention to detail and professionalism A cover letter should be an expression of your writing abilities focus on detail and professionalism. A well-written cover letter will convey your professionalism and show that you’re a professional and polished candidate who takes the selection process seriously.

But, writing the cover letter could be lengthy and demanding. It’s essential to customize your cover letter to the specific job and organization, and you’re likely to stumble.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob

I ordered the Gold Package which was a Resume and Cover letter. I would honestly rate it an easy 10/10. Not only was the resume and cover letter perfect but the Customer Service is what really blew me away. Literally a few minutes after making the order I was contacted and a resume plan was formulated. Thank You Tanja :)
