Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Broken Hill Resume on 19 Oct 2025

Writing a cover letter for your resume is a crucial step in the job application process. While a resume provides an overview of your abilities and experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce yourself to the manager who is hiring you and present the reasons why you’re most suitable for the job.

Here are some of the most important things to be aware of when writing a cover note to include on your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the job Your cover letter can be the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the job and how eager you are to be a part of their organization. By expressing your enthusiasm for the business, you will build a positive impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences In a cover letter, you have an opportunity to display particular abilities and experiences that make you well-suited to the position. In highlighting the ways your skills meet the needs of the position, you can enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. The cover letter is a way for you to address any concerns the hiring manager might have about your qualifications. For example, if you have a gap in your professional history or have a lack of expertise in a particular field it is possible to explain the reason why this doesn’t matter and what other skills can make up for it.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover letter will help you stand out other candidates. By tailoring your cover letter to the specific position and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your homework and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism: A cover letter is an expression of your writing abilities as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A well-written cover letter will convey the impression of a professional and polished candidate who takes the selection process seriously.

But writing your cover letter can be difficult and time-consuming. It’s important to customize your cover letter specifically to the job and organization, and there is a tendency to slip up. This is why hiring a professional resume writing service such as Broken Hill Resume can be a excellent idea. Our writers understand what employers are looking for when they read a cover letter.

First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Broken Hill Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.

A wonderful team they have there at Broken Hill resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.
