Cover Letter Writing 101

Posted by Wangaratta Resume on 12 Jun 2025

An effective cover letter will be an essential component of your job application, as it is an opportunity to introduce you to potential employers and present why you’re the most suitable candidate for the position. Writing a cover letter can be a daunting task, particularly if not sure what to include or how to format it. Here are some suggestions to write a cover letter that can allow you to stand in the crowd.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the position you’re applying to Every job is different therefore it is important to adapt your cover letter to the job you’re applying to. Study the company’s requirements and job requirements, and use this information to show your experience and skills that align with what they are searching for.
  2. Use a professional tone: The cover letter should be an official document and therefore it is essential to use a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too casual language. Stick to a formal and professional tone.
  3. Make it short and concise: A cover letter should be no more than a page, so it’s important to be short and get straight to the point quickly. Use bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Be enthusiastic Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about your work and company. In your cover letter, show your enthusiasm for the job and to explain why you’re the best fit to the position.
  5. Be sure to proofread before submitting your cover letter, be sure to proofread it for spelling and grammar errors. A cover letter that’s not proofread will not make a good impression, therefore it’s essential to ensure that it’s error-free.

It’s important to keep in mind that different types of jobs require different types or cover letters. For example, a cover letter for a creative job in the design industry may be more visually appealing and include images and graphs, whereas the cover letter for a job in the finance sector may be more formal and focus on your experience and qualifications.

In conclusion, a well-written cover letter can make an enormous impact on your job application. When you customize it for the specific job that you’re applying for, using a professional tone, making it short, demonstrating your enthusiasm, and then proofreading it, you can increase the likelihood of being interviewed.

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.
