Cover Letter: The Resume's Best Friend

Posted by Dunedin Resume on 25 Mar 2026

Writing a cover letter for the resume is an essential part of the application process. While a resume offers the details of your education, qualifications and work experience, a cover letter will allow you to introduce your self to the hiring manager and state why you’re an ideal fit to the job.

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

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the position Your cover letter can be an excellent way to inform the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the job and how much you want to work for their business. Through expressing your passion for the company, you can make a good impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have In a cover letter, you have an opportunity to showcase specific skills and experience that makes you suitable for the job. Through highlighting how your abilities are in line with the requirements for the position, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter allows you to address any concerns that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For instance, if you have gaps in your work history or have a lack of expertise in a specific area, you can explain why this isn’t a problem and what other skills can make the up-side.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written cover note can make you stand out among other applicants. By tailoring your cover letter to the specific position and company, you can demonstrate that you’ve done your research and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an example of your writing ability as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show your professionalism and show that you’re a polished and professional candidate who takes the interview process seriously.

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 Dunedin 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.

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.
