Why a Cover Letter is Important

Posted by Broken Hill Resume on 9 Apr 2025

The creation of a cover note for the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume is an overview of your skills and knowledge, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and explain why you are the ideal candidate for the job.

Here are some key points to consider when you write a cover letter for your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the position Cover letters are an excellent way to inform the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and the desire to work for their company. Through expressing your passion for the company, you’ll impress the hiring manager and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences: A cover letter is an opportunity to display particular abilities and experiences that make you well-suited to the position. In highlighting the ways your skills correspond to the requirements of the job, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: The cover letter is a way for you to address any potential concerns the hiring manager may have regarding your skills. For example, if you have gaps in your career or have a lack of expertise in a certain area it is possible to explain the reason why this doesn’t matter and how your other qualifications will make up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover letter will help you stand out other applicants. By adapting your cover letter to the specific position and business, you can show that you have done your research and you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Showcasing your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism: A cover letter is an expression of your writing abilities, attention to detail, and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter will demonstrate an impression that you’re a professional and polished applicant who takes the application process seriously.

However, writing a cover letter can be time-consuming and challenging. It’s essential to tailor your cover letter to your specific position and company, but it’s easy to make mistakes. So, hiring a professional resume writing service such as Broken Hill Resume can be a fantastic idea. Our writers know what employers are looking for in a cover-letter and can craft a custom and powerful cover letter for you that will get you the job you want. With Broken Hill Resume you can be certain that your letter will be written in a professional style, and it will be tailored to the job you’re applying for. Contact us now for more details.

I felt like I wasn't getting anywhere with my job hunting so I thought I would give the professionals a go. I was so pleased with the thoroughness from Broken Hill Resume. They make you do a little bit of work for them so they can get a really good feel of who you are about, they then take your talents and showcase them in a truly polished professional series of documents. Thanks for getting me out of the jobhunt blues!

Broken Hill Resume were approached by me 2 years ago to complete my professional CV and Cover letter, the service was fast, efficient and of the highest quality. Recently I once again approached Tanja to update my CV and cover letter at short notice, the service provided was once again of the highest standard.

I ordered the Gold Package which was a Resume and Cover letter. I would honestly rate it an easy 10/10. Not only was the resume and cover letter perfect but the Customer Service is what really blew me away. Literally a few minutes after making the order I was contacted and a resume plan was formulated. Thank You Tanja :)

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.
