Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Lismore Resume on 8 Mar 2025

Writing a cover letter for your resume is a crucial aspect of the job application process. While a resume gives the details of your education, qualifications and work experiences, a cover letter will allow you to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and present the reasons why you’re most suitable for the job.

Here are some key points to consider when writing a cover letter for your resume.

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the job Your cover letter can be the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and how eager you are to be a part of their organization. In expressing your enthusiasm for the organization, you’ll impress the hiring manager and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have: A cover letter is an opportunity to highlight specific skills and experiences that make you well-suited for the job. In highlighting the ways your skills correspond to the requirements of the position, you’ll enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: A cover letter allows you to address any issues the hiring manager might have about your qualifications. For example, if you have a gap in your career or a lack of experience in a specific area it is possible to explain why this isn’t a problem and how your other qualifications can make an uproar.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover letter will help you stand out from other applicants. By adapting your cover letter to the specific job and business, you can show that you’ve done your research and you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents and attention to detail and professionalism A cover letter should be a reflection of your writing ability and attention to detail and professionalism. A well-written cover letter will convey that you are a polished and professional candidate who is taking the interview process seriously.

But, writing your cover letter can be difficult and time-consuming. It’s essential to tailor your cover letter to your specific job and organization, and the chances are that you’ll make mistakes. That’s why hiring a professional resume service such as Lismore Resume can be a fantastic idea.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob
