While a resume is a summary of your qualifications and experiences, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and provide the reason why you are an ideal fit for the position.

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the position The cover letter is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are about the role and how eager you are to work for their company.

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.
  • Affirming any possible concerns: A cover letter allows you to address any concerns the hiring manager might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if have gaps in your professional history or a lack of experience in a specific area it is possible to explain why this isn’t a problem and what other skills will make up for it.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written cover letter will make you stand out among other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the specific position and business, you can show that you have done your 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 is an example of your writing ability, attention to detail, and professionalism.

From the moment I called to get some information on the process involved, I was taken by how efficient and professional Tanja was with assisting me. Tanja was patient and prompt with her replying to me with my queries, she was more than happy to make many changes for me with no fuss at all.

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 Christchurch 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.
