Posted by Mackay Resume on 21 Sep 2024

Writing a cover letter for the resume is an essential aspect of the job application process. While a resume provides an overview of your abilities and experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are the best fit for the position.

Here are some key points to keep in mind when writing a cover letters to include on your resume:

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the job: A cover letter is an excellent way to inform the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the role and how eager you are to be a part of their organization. By expressing your enthusiasm for the organization, you’ll impress the hiring manager and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have Cover letters are an opportunity to showcase particular skills and experiences that help you be a perfect fit for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills are in line with the requirements for the job, you will increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any doubts the hiring manager might have regarding your skills. For instance, if have gaps in your career or have a lack of expertise in a certain area and you want to justify why this shouldn’t be a problem and what other skills will make an uproar.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written and professional cover letter can help you stand out other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the particular job and business, you can show that you’ve done your homework and that you know what the company is looking for.

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
