The importance of a Cover Letter

Posted by Taupo Resume on 7 Feb 2026

The creation of a cover note for the resume is an essential part of the application process. While a resume offers an overview of your skills and knowledge, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and state why you’re most suitable for the job.

Here are some essential points to keep in mind when writing a cover note for your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the position: A cover letter is a great opportunity to show the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the role and how eager you are to be a part of their organization. By expressing your interest in the business, you will create a positive impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting your specific abilities and experience Cover letters are an opportunity to show specific abilities and experience that makes you suitable for the job. Through highlighting how your abilities match the requirements of the position, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter allows you to address any potential concerns that the manager who is hiring you might have regarding your skills. For example, if have gaps in your employment history or have a lack of expertise in a specific field, you can explain why this isn’t a problem and how your other qualifications help to make more up for it.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover note can make you stand out among other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the job you are applying for and the company, it will show that you’ve done your homework and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities and attention to detail and professionalism The cover letter is an indication of your writing ability and attention to detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter will demonstrate the impression of a professional and polished candidate who is taking the application process seriously.

But writing your cover letter can be difficult and time-consuming. It’s important to customize your cover letter to fit the job and company, and you’re likely to stumble.

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 was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Taupo Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.

Positive: Professionalism Ms Tanja Coyne helped me a lot with my resume. She was patience, responsive and professional. When she finished my resume, I offer to double her pay but she refused. I recommend Tanja! Thank you very much.

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 Taupo 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!
