Writing a standout cover letter

Posted by Broken Hill Resume on 5 Apr 2025

Cover letters are an important element of your application for employment since it provides an opportunity to introduce yourself to potential employers and present why you’re a good candidate for the position. Writing a cover letter can be a daunting job, especially if not sure of what you should include or how to format it. Here are some helpful tips for writing a cover letter to make you stand apart from your competitors.

  1. Create a cover letter that is specific to the position you’re applying to Every job is distinctive and therefore, it’s essential to tailor your cover letter to the job that you’re applying for. Find out about the company and job requirements, and use this information to highlight how your skills and experience match what they’re looking for.
  2. Maintain a professional tone Cover letters are a formal document, so it’s important to keep an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang or casual language, and stick to a formal and professional tone.
  3. Keep it concise: A cover letter should be no more than a page, so it’s important to be brief and get straight to the main points quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter simple to read.
  4. Show your enthusiasm Employers want to know that you’re excited about the position and also the business. Use your cover letter to express your excitement for the position and also explain why you’re the perfect fit for the job.
  5. Make sure to proofread your letter of cover, make sure to proofread your letter for spelling and grammar mistakes. A cover letter that isn’t proofread can make a bad impression, so it’s crucial to make sure it’s error-free.

It’s important to keep in mind that different types of jobs will require different types in cover letters. For instance an application letter for a job that requires creativity in the design sector could be more visual and include illustrations and pictures, while a cover letter for a job in finance might be more conservative and focus on your skills and experience.

In the end, a well-written covering letter could make a an enormous impact on your job application. By tailoring it to the job you’re applying for, in a professional manner, being concise, displaying your enthusiasm, and then proofreading it, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Broken Hill Resume.
