Why a Cover Letter is Important

Posted by Pro Resume Writers Adelaide on 25 Jan 2026

The creation of a cover note for your resume is a crucial part of the application process. While a resume offers the details of your education, qualifications and experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are an ideal fit for the job.

Here are some essential points to consider when you write a cover letter to include on your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the position: A cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the job and your desire to work for their company. Through expressing your passion for the organization, you’ll create a positive impression and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to highlight particular skills and experience that makes you suitable to the position. In highlighting the ways your skills correspond to the requirements of the position, you can enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: The cover letter is a way for you to address any issues that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if you have gaps in your employment history or lack of experience in a specific field it is possible to explain why this isn’t an issue and explain how your other credentials will make the up-side.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can help you stand out other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the particular job and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your research and that you understand what the company is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents as well as your attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are a reflection of your writing ability, attention to detail, and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey an impression that you’re a polished and professional candidate who takes the interview process seriously.

Writing your cover letter can be difficult and time-consuming. It is essential to customize your cover letter to the specific position and company, but the chances are that you’ll make mistakes.

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.
