The Importance of a Cover Letter

Posted by Nelson Resume on 24 Feb 2026

The creation of a cover note for a resume is an important part of the application process. While a resume is an overview of your skills and knowledge, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce yourself to the manager who is hiring you and state why you’re the best fit to the job.

Here are some of the most important things to remember when you write a cover letter to include on your resume:

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the job The cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are for the position and the desire to work for their company. Through expressing your passion for the organization, you’ll create a positive impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting specific skills and experiences Cover letters are an opportunity to highlight specific abilities and experiences that will make you a good fit for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills match the requirements of the job, you will increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. A cover letter can be used to address any doubts that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if you have a gap in your professional history or lack of experience in a certain area, you can explain the reason why this doesn’t matter and explain how your other credentials can make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out among other applicants. By adapting your cover letter to the particular job and company, you will be able to show that you’ve done your research and you know what the business is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents, attention to detail, and professionalism The cover letter is an indication 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 professional and polished candidate who takes the job interview process seriously.

I would highly recommend Nelson Resume. Tanja, my writer, was very knowledgeable and understands resumes from a recruiters perspective. Tanja did a complimentary review for me initially and then gave me a great resume and cover letter to follow. Great service, thanks guys!

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.

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.
