Creating a Standout Cover Letter

Posted by Invercargill Resume on 29 Apr 2025

The cover letter can be an essential part of your job application, as it is an opportunity to introduce you to potential employers and present why you’re a good candidate for the job. However, writing a cover letter is a difficult task, particularly if not sure what to include or how to structure it. Here are some helpful tips to compose a cover letter that can allow you to stand in the crowd.

  1. Create a cover letter that is specific to the job you’re applying for: Each job is unique therefore it is important to tailor your cover letter to the specific position you’re applying to. Find out about the company and job requirements, and use this information to highlight the ways your abilities and experiences coincide with 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 casual language, and stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Keep it concise The cover letter should be no longer than one page Therefore, it’s crucial to be concise and get straight to the main points quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letters easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re excited about the role and your company. Your cover letter should express your excitement for the position and also explain why you’re an ideal candidate for the role.
  5. When you’re submitting an application letter to the employer, be sure that you proofread the letter to ensure that there are no spelling or grammar mistakes. A cover letter with errors can make a bad impression, so it’s crucial to make sure that the letter is error-free.

It’s important to recognize that different types of jobs might require different types and styles of resumes. For instance, a cover letter for a job in the design field could be more visual , and contain graphics and images, while an application letter for a job in the finance sector may be more conservative and focus on your education and experience.

In the end, a professionally written covering letter could make a all the impression on your application for a job. By tailoring it to the job you’re applying for, using a professional tone, staying concise, showing your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you’ll improve your chances of getting an interview.

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 Invercargill 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.

A wonderful team they have there at Invercargill resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Invercargill Resume.
