Posted by Hamilton Resume on 22 Sep 2024

Cover letters are a vital component of your job application and is an opportunity to present you to potential employers and demonstrate why you’re the most suitable candidate for the position. However, writing a cover letter is a difficult task, particularly if not sure of what you should include or how to format it. Here are some helpful tips for writing a cover letters to help you stand apart from your competitors.

  1. Create a cover letter that is specific to the position you’re applying to Every job is different and therefore, it’s essential to tailor your cover letter to the job that you’re applying for. Learn about the company as well as the job requirements, and use this information to emphasize the ways your abilities and experiences align with what they are looking for.
  2. Make sure you use a professional tone. A cover letter is a formal piece of writing It’s therefore essential to keep a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang and casual language. Stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Be concise The cover letter should be no more than one page So it’s essential to be succinct and get straight to the point quickly. Use bullet points as well as short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm: Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about your role and your company. Use your cover letter to convey your enthusiasm about the position and provide why you’re the perfect fit for the job.
  5. When you’re submitting your letter of cover, make sure to proofread it for spelling and grammar mistakes. A cover letter that’s not proofread can make a bad impression, so it’s crucial to make sure that the letter is error-free.

It’s important to recognize that different types of jobs may require different kinds of cover letters. For instance the cover letter to a position in the field of design could be more visually appealing and include images and graphs, whereas one for a job in finance may be more formal and focus on your skills and experience.

In conclusion, a well-written cover letter can make a huge impression on your application for a job.

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 Hamilton resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

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 Hamilton 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.
