Why a Cover Letter Matters

Posted by Rockingham Resume on 13 Nov 2025

The creation of a cover note for your resume is a crucial aspect of the job application process. While a resume provides an overview of your abilities and experiences, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and explain why you are an ideal fit to the job.

Here are some essential points to be aware of when you write a cover letter to include on your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the job: A cover letter is an excellent way to inform the hiring manager how excited you are for the position and how eager you are to work for their business. By expressing your interest in the company, you’ll impress the hiring manager and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting your specific abilities and experience Cover letters are an opportunity to highlight specific skills and experiences that make you well-suited for the job. If you highlight how your credentials match the requirements of the position, you’ll improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any issues the hiring manager may have regarding your skills. For example, if have a gap in your employment history or a lack of experience in a specific field it is possible to explain why this isn’t an issue and explain how your other credentials can make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover letter will help you stand out other applicants. By tailoring your cover letter to the specific job and business, you can show that you have done your research and you know what the business is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents as well as your attention to detail and professionalism The cover letter is an indication of your writing ability focus on detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter will demonstrate an impression that you’re a professional and polished candidate who takes the selection process seriously.

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 Rockingham 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.

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 Rockingham resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
