Cover Letter Writing 101

Posted by Broken Hill Resume on 5 Apr 2025

The cover letter can be an important part of your application and is an opportunity to introduce yourself to potential employers and present why you’re a good candidate for the position. However, writing a cover letter is a difficult task, especially if you’re not sure what to write or how to structure it. Here are some guidelines to write a cover letter that will aid you in standing out from the competition.

  1. Tailor your cover letter to the position you’re applying to Each job is distinct It’s crucial to tailor your cover letter specifically to the position you’re applying to. Research the company and the job requirements, and use this information to emphasize the way your skills and experience correspond with what they’re looking for.
  2. Use a professional tone: The cover letter should be a formal document It’s therefore essential to keep an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too casual language. Stick to a formal and professional tone.
  3. Keep it brief Cover letters should be no longer than one page, so it’s important to be concise and get straight to the main points quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to ensure that your cover letter is easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm Employers want to know that you’re enthusiastic about the role and your company. Your cover letter should express your excitement for the job and to explain why you’re a good fit to the position.
  5. Be sure to proofread before submitting an application letter to the employer, be sure to proofread your letter for spelling or grammar errors. A cover letter that’s not proofread could make a negative impression, so it’s important to ensure it’s error free.

It is important to remember that different types of jobs will require different types and styles of resumes. For example the cover letter for a creative job in the design sector could be more visual and include illustrations and pictures, while the cover letter for a job in finance might be more conservative and concentrate on your skills and experience.

A well-written personal statement can create a a big difference in your job application. By tailoring it to the particular job that you’re applying for, with a professional tone, being concise, displaying your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you can increase the likelihood of getting an interview.
