Here are some helpful tips for writing a cover letter that will make you stand out from the competition.

  1. Customize your cover letter for the position you’re applying to: Each job is unique therefore it is important to tailor your cover letters to the job you’re applying to. Research the company and the job requirements, and then use this information to show how your skills and experience coincide with what they’re looking for.

  3. Keep it concise Cover letters should be no more than one page, so it’s important to be concise and get to the point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm: Employers want to see that you’re passionate about the work and company. Utilize your cover letter to express your excitement for the job and to explain why you’re the perfect fit to the position.

For instance, a cover letter for a job that requires creativity in the field of design could be more visual and include pictures and graphics, whereas a cover letter for a position in finance might be more conservative and concentrate on your skills and experience.

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 Devonport resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
