Designing a Cover Letter that is Standout

Posted by Gold Coast Resume on 24 Aug 2024

An effective cover letter will be an important element of your application for employment, as it is an opportunity to introduce yourself to potential employers and to explain why you are the best candidate for the position. However, writing a covering letter can be a daunting job, especially if uncertain of what to include or how to format it. Here are some helpful tips to compose a cover letter to allow you to stand apart from your competitors.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the position you’re applying to Each job is distinct and therefore, it’s essential to tailor your cover letter to the job you’re applying for. Study the company’s requirements and specifications for the job, and use this information to show the way your skills and experience align with what they are searching for.
  2. Use a professional tone: Your cover letter will be a formal document and therefore it is essential to maintain a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too informal language, and stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Make it short and concise Your cover letter should be one page or less It’s crucial to be concise and get to the point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to ensure that your cover letter is easy to read.
  4. Be enthusiastic: Employers want to see that you’re excited about the position and also the business. Use your cover letter to convey your enthusiasm for the job and to explain why you’re a good fit for the job.
  5. Be sure to proofread before submitting your cover letter, make sure to proofread it for spelling or grammar mistakes. A cover letter that’s not proofread could make a negative impression. Therefore, it’s vital to ensure that it’s error-free.

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

In conclusion, a well-written cover letter can make an enormous impact on your job application. If you tailor it to the specific job you’re applying to, in a professional manner, keeping it concise, showing your enthusiasm, and proofreading it, you will increase the likelihood of getting an interview.

I used Gold Coast Resume for a government role submission, which included a selection criteria response. I was very impressed and it landed me the job that i wanted. Thank you again.

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 Gold Coast 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.

Cannot speak highly enough about my new resume and cover letter. Tanja has done an amazing job. I haven’t needed a resume for 26 years as I’ve been with the same employer but due to the current situation with COVID-19 I’m out there having to get back into the game. The advantage of Tanja writing my resume is that she has a background in HR and understands what looks good and the importance of making an impact with key words. Tanja also helped me apply for a job with that required specific targeted responses. Many thanks great work and an effortless and seamless process.

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 :)
