Make your resume stand out with the help of a Cover Letter

Posted by Tauranga Resume on 20 Feb 2026

The creation of a cover note for a resume is an important step in the job application process. While a resume provides the details of your education, qualifications and work experience, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and provide the reason why you are an ideal fit to the job.

Here are some of the most important things to remember when writing a cover letter for your resume:

  • Demonstrating your enthusiasm for the job: A cover letter is an excellent way to inform the hiring manager how excited you are about the role and how much you want to work for their business. By expressing your enthusiasm for the business, you will create a positive impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting your specific abilities and experience: A cover letter is an opportunity to show particular skills and experience that makes you suitable to the position. If you highlight how your credentials meet the needs of the position, you’ll increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. Cover letters allow you to address any doubts that the manager who is hiring you might have about your qualifications. For instance, if have a gap in your career or have a lack of expertise in a particular field and you want to justify why this isn’t a problem and explain how your other credentials make the up-side.
  • To help you stand out: A well-written cover letter will make you stand out among other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the specific job and company, you will be able to show that you have conducted your own research and that you understand what the company is looking for.
  • Your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism: A cover letter is a reflection of your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter will demonstrate the impression of a polished and professional candidate who takes the selection process seriously.

But writing the cover letter could be difficult and time-consuming. It’s important to tailor your cover letter to your specific job and company, and the chances are that you’ll make mistakes.

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.
