Learn the art of Cover Letter Writing

Posted by Christchurch Resume on 9 Jan 2025

Cover letters are a crucial component of your job application, as it is an opportunity to introduce yourself to prospective employers and to explain why you are the best candidate for the job. However, writing a covering letter can be a challenging task, especially if you’re not sure of what you should include or how to structure it. Here are some suggestions for writing a cover letter that can aid you in standing above the rest of the applicants.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the job you’re applying for: Each job is unique It’s crucial to tailor your cover letter specifically to the position you’re applying for. Find out about the company and job requirements, and then use this information to show the ways your abilities and experiences coincide with what they’re looking for.
  2. Make sure you use a professional tone. A cover letter is a formal document, so it’s important to adopt an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too casual language, and stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Keep it brief Your cover letter should be no more than one page So it’s essential to be succinct and get to the main point quickly. Use bullet points and short paragraphs to ensure that your cover letter is easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re excited about the job and the company. Utilize your cover letter to show your enthusiasm about the position and provide why you’re an ideal candidate for the position.
  5. When you’re submitting your cover letter, be sure to proofread it to ensure that there are no spelling or grammar mistakes. A cover letter with errors could make a negative impression. Therefore, it’s vital to ensure that it’s error-free.

It’s important to keep in mind that different types of jobs might require different kinds and styles of resumes. For example an application letter for a job in the field of design could be more visual and include images and graphs, whereas a cover letter for a position in finance might be more formal and focus on your skills and experience.

In conclusion, a well-written personal statement can create a all the difference in your job application. If you tailor it to the particular job you’re applying for using a professional tone, staying concise, showing your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you’ll improve your odds of being interviewed.

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.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Christchurch resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
Blake Karafilis
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.
