Selling Yourself Self-Selling: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Auckland Resume on 7 Apr 2025

Writing a cover letter for your resume is a crucial step in the job application process. While a resume is an overview of your skills and knowledge, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and provide the reason why you are the ideal candidate for the job.

Here are some key points to be aware of when writing a cover letter for your resume.

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the job: A cover letter is an excellent opportunity to tell the hiring manager how excited you are about the job and how much you want to be a part of their organization. Through expressing your passion for the company, you can impress the hiring manager and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting your specific abilities and experience In a cover letter, you have an opportunity to highlight specific skills and experiences that help you be a perfect fit to the position. If you highlight how your credentials match the requirements of the job, you will increase your chances of getting an interview.
  • Addressing any potential concerns: Cover letters allow you to address any concerns that the manager who is hiring you might have about your qualifications. For example, if you have gaps in your professional history or lack experience in a specific area You can provide a reason the reason why this doesn’t matter and what other skills make an uproar.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover note can help you stand out from other candidates. By tailoring your cover letter to the specific job and company, you can demonstrate that you’ve done your homework and that you know what the company is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents as well as your attention to detail and professionalism: A cover letter is an indication of your writing abilities focus on detail and professionalism.

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 Auckland 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.

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
