Improve Your Resume with an effective Cover Letter

Posted by New Plymouth Resume on 19 Jun 2025

A cover letter to accompany a resume is an important step in the job application process. While a resume gives the details of your education, qualifications and work experience, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce yourself to the manager who is hiring you and state why you’re most suitable for the job.

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

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the position The cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about your job and how much you want to be a part of their organization. In expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you’ll build a positive impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have: A cover letter is an opportunity to highlight specific skills and experiences that will make you a good fit for the job. By highlighting how your qualifications are in line with the requirements for the job, you will increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: A cover letter can be used to address any doubts the hiring manager may have about your qualifications. For example, if you have gaps in your career or lack experience in a specific field You can provide a reason why this shouldn’t be a problem and explain how your other credentials help to make an uproar.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover letter will help you stand out from other candidates. By adapting your cover letter to the specific position and company, it will show that you’ve done your research and that you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Showing your writing abilities focus on detail and professionalism A cover letter should be an expression of your writing ability, attention to detail, and professionalism. A written cover letter that is well-written will show an impression that you’re a polished and professional candidate who takes the job interview process seriously.

Writing the cover letter could be lengthy and demanding. It’s important to customize your cover letter specifically to the position and company, but you’re likely to stumble.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at New Plymouth resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

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 :)
