Through highlighting how your abilities are in line with the requirements for the position, you’ll enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. A cover letter allows you to address any concerns the hiring manager might have about your qualifications. For example, if have gaps in your employment history or have a lack of expertise in a specific field and you want to justify why this shouldn’t be a problem and how your other qualifications will make the up-side.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written and professional cover letter can help you stand out other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the particular job and company, you can demonstrate that you’ve done your homework and that you know what the company is looking for.
