Learning the Art of Cover Letter Writing

Posted by Yeppoon Resume on 27 Oct 2024

A cover letter is an essential part of your job application since it provides an opportunity to present your self to prospective employers and demonstrate why you are the best candidate for the job. But, writing a cover letter can be a challenging task, especially if you’re not sure of what you should include or how to structure it. Here are some helpful tips to compose a cover letter that will allow you to stand in the crowd.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the job you’re applying for: Each job is unique and therefore, it’s essential to adapt your cover letter to the specific position that you’re applying for. Research the company and the job requirements, and use this information to demonstrate the way your skills and experience match what they’re seeking.
  2. Employ a professional tone A cover letter is an official document It’s therefore essential to keep a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too casual language, and stick to a formal and professional tone.
  3. Make it short and concise Your cover letter should be no longer than one page Therefore, it’s crucial to be brief and get straight to the main point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Be enthusiastic Employers want to know that you’re passionate about the role and your company. In your cover letter, demonstrate your enthusiasm for the position and explain why you’re the best fit for the position.
  5. Make sure to proofread your letter of cover, be sure to proofread it for spelling and grammar mistakes. An uncorrected cover letter could leave a bad impression, therefore it’s essential to ensure it’s error free.

It’s important to note that different types of jobs will require different kinds in cover letters. For instance one cover letter that is for a job in the design sector could be more visually appealing and include images and graphs, whereas a cover letter for a position in the finance industry could be more conservative and focus on your skills and experience.

A well-written cover letter can make all the impact on your job application. When you customize it for the specific job you’re applying to, with a professional tone, keeping it concise, showing your enthusiasm, and proofreading it, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.

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 :)

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Yeppoon resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.
