The Cover Letter is the Resume's Best Friend

Posted by Dunedin Resume on 26 Apr 2025

The creation of a cover note for a resume is an important step in the job application process. While a resume is the details of your education, qualifications and knowledge, a cover letter will allow you to introduce your self to the hiring manager and state why you’re the ideal candidate for the job.

Here are some essential points to be aware of when writing a cover note to include on your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the position: A cover letter is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are for the position and how much you want to work for their company. In expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you’ll create a positive impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting particular skills and experiences: A cover letter is an opportunity to highlight particular abilities and experiences that help you be a perfect fit to the position. If you highlight how your credentials correspond to the requirements of the job, you will improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Affirming any possible concerns: A cover letter allows you to address any issues that the manager who is hiring you might have regarding your skills. For example, if have a gap in your work history or a lack of experience in a certain area and you want to justify the reason why this doesn’t matter and what other skills can make the up-side.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover letter can make you stand out among other applicants. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the specific job and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your research and you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism A cover letter should be an expression of your writing ability, attention to detail, and professionalism.
