Elevate Your Cover Letter Game

Posted by Gold Coast Resume on 7 Feb 2026

A cover letter is a vital component of your job application because it gives you an opportunity to present you to potential employers and to explain why you’re the most suitable candidate for the position. However, writing a cover letter is a difficult job, especially if not sure of what you should include or how to format it. Here are some helpful tips for writing a cover letters to make you stand out from the competition.

  1. Create a cover letter that is specific to the position you’re applying to Every job is distinctive, so it’s important to tailor your cover letter to the particular job you’re applying to. Find out about the company and specifications for the job, and use this information to emphasize the way your skills and experience correspond with what they’re looking for.
  2. Employ a professional tone Your cover letter will be a formal piece of writing that’s why it’s crucial to keep a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang or overly casual language, and stick to a formal and professional tone.
  3. Keep it concise Your cover letter should be no longer than one page, so it’s important to be brief and get to the point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to ensure that your cover letter is easy to read.
  4. Exhibit enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about the work and company. Utilize your cover letter to express your excitement for the position and explain why you’re the perfect fit for the position.
  5. Make sure to proofread the cover letter make sure you proofread it for any spelling or grammar mistakes. A cover letter with errors could leave a bad impression. Therefore, it’s vital to ensure that it’s error-free.

It’s important to note that different kinds of jobs require different types in cover letters. For instance one cover letter that is for a creative job in the design sector could be more visual and comprise images and graphs, whereas an application letter for a position in finance may be more formal and focus on your education and experience.

In the end, a well-written cover letter can make all the impact on your job application. When you customize it for the job you’re applying for, employing a professional tone making it short, demonstrating your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you’ll increase your odds of being interviewed.

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 :)

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 Gold Coast resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
