Why a Cover Letter is Important

Posted by Bairnsdale Resume on 7 Jan 2026

Writing a cover letter for a resume is an important element of the job application process. While a resume gives an overview of your abilities and experiences, a cover letter will allow you to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are an ideal fit to the job.

Here are some of the most important things to be aware of when writing a cover letters to your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job Your cover letter can be the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are about the role and the desire to be a part of their organization. By expressing your interest in the company, you’ll create a positive impression and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting your specific abilities and experience The cover letter provides an opportunity to showcase particular skills and experiences that help you be a perfect fit to the position. Through highlighting how your abilities are in line with the requirements for the job, you will improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter allows you to address any potential concerns that the manager who is hiring you might have regarding your skills. For example, if have a gap in your career or have a lack of expertise in a certain area, you can explain the reason why this doesn’t matter and what other skills make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover letter can make you stand out among other applicants. By adapting your cover letter to the specific job and company, you will be able to show that you have conducted your own research and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities and attention to detail and professionalism A cover letter should be an expression of your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism.

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.
