Cover Letter: The Resume's Most Important Friend

Posted by New Plymouth Resume on 5 Dec 2025

A cover letter to accompany your resume is a crucial part of the application process. While a resume provides an overview of your skills and work experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and present the reasons why you’re an ideal fit to the job.

Here are some essential points to keep in mind when you write a cover letter to your resume:

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the job Your cover letter can be the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are about the role and how much you want to work for their business. Through expressing your passion for the company, you’ll impress the hiring manager and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences The cover letter provides an opportunity to showcase specific abilities and experiences that make you well-suited to the position. Through highlighting how your abilities meet the needs of the job, you will increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: Cover letters allow you to address any concerns the hiring manager might be concerned about your credentials. For instance, if you have gaps in your professional history or a lack of experience in a specific area it is possible to explain why this isn’t an issue and what other skills can make more up for it.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out from other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the specific job and company, it will show that you’ve conducted your own research and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents and attention to detail and professionalism Cover letters are an indication of your writing abilities, 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 job selection process seriously.

However, writing the cover letter could be difficult and time-consuming. It’s important to tailor your cover letter specifically to the job and the company, and you’re likely to stumble. It’s the reason hiring a professional resume writing service like New Plymouth Resume can be a great idea.
