Mastering the Art of Cover Letter Writing

Posted by Taupo Resume on 30 May 2025

A cover letter is a crucial element of your application for employment and is an opportunity to present yourself to prospective employers and present why you are the best candidate for the job. However, writing a cover letter is a difficult task, particularly if you’re not sure what to include or how to format it. Here are some helpful tips to write a cover letter that can make you stand out from the competition.

  1. Tailor your cover letter to the job you’re applying for Every job is different therefore it is important to tailor your cover letters to the job that you’re applying for. Study the company’s requirements and specifications for the job, and use this information to highlight how your skills and experience align with what they are seeking.
  2. Use a professional tone: Cover letters are a formal piece of writing that’s why it’s crucial to adopt an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang or overly casual language, and stick to a formal, professional tone.
  3. Keep it brief Cover letters should be no more than one page It’s crucial to be brief and get to the point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to ensure that your cover letter is easy to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re excited about the position and also the business. Your cover letter should show your enthusiasm for the position and explain why you’re an ideal candidate for the position.
  5. When you’re submitting your letter of cover, be sure that you proofread the letter for spelling or grammar errors. A cover letter that isn’t proofread could leave a bad impression, therefore it’s essential to make sure it’s error-free.

It is important to remember that different kinds of jobs require different types and styles of resumes. For example one cover letter that is for a job that requires creativity in the design industry may be more visually appealing and include pictures and graphics, whereas an application letter for a job in finance might be more conservative and concentrate on your education and experience.

In the end, a well-written personal statement can create a a big impression on your application for a job. If you tailor it to the job that you’re applying for, employing a professional tone being concise, displaying your enthusiasm, and then proofreading it, you’ll increase the likelihood of getting an 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.
