Posted by Christchurch Resume on 9 Jan 2025

The cover letter can be an essential component of your job application, as it is an opportunity to introduce your self to prospective employers and explain why you are the best candidate for the job. But, writing a cover letter can be a challenging task, especially if you’re not sure what to include or how to format it. Here are some helpful tips for writing a cover letter to make you stand out from the competition.

  1. Tailor your cover letter to the job you’re applying for Every job is distinctive and therefore, it’s essential to customize your cover letter specifically to the position that you’re applying for. Learn about the company as well as the job requirements, and use this information to show your experience and skills that match what they’re searching for.
  2. Use a professional tone: Cover letters are a formal piece of writing It’s therefore essential to keep an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang and informal language and stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Keep it concise Your cover letter should be no more than a page It’s crucial to be concise and get straight to the point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Show your enthusiasm Employers want to know that you’re excited about the job and the company. In your cover letter, demonstrate your enthusiasm for the job and to explain why you’re the perfect fit for the role.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.
