Posted by Nelson Resume on 10 Sep 2025

If you highlight how your credentials correspond to the requirements of the position, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Affirming any possible concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any concerns that the manager who is hiring you might have about your qualifications. For example, if you have a gap in your work history or have a lack of expertise in a particular field You can provide a reason the reason why this doesn’t matter and how your other qualifications can make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out from other candidates.

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 Nelson 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.
