However, writing a covering letter can be a daunting task, particularly if uncertain of what to include or how to format it. Here are some tips for writing a cover letters that will aid you in standing in the crowd.

Create a cover letter that is specific to the job you’re applying for Each job is distinct therefore it is important to adapt your cover letter specifically to the position that you’re applying for. Learn about the company as well as the specific requirements for the job. Use this information to demonstrate your experience and skills that correspond with what they’re looking for.
  2. Make sure you use a professional tone. A cover letter is a formal letter that’s why it’s crucial to use a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang or overly casual language. Stick to a formal, professional tone.
  3. Make it short and concise Cover letters should be no longer than one page Therefore, it’s crucial to be short and get to the point quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm Employers want to know that you’re excited about the position and also the business. In your cover letter, express your excitement for the position and explain why you’re an ideal candidate to the position.

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Geraldton Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.
