Why a Cover Letter Matters

Posted by Shepparton Resume on 6 Jul 2026

A cover letter to accompany the resume is an essential aspect of the job application process. While a resume offers an overview of your skills and work experiences, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and explain why you are most suitable for the job.

Here are some of the most important things to be aware of when writing a cover letters to include on your resume:

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the job Your cover letter can be an excellent opportunity to tell the hiring manager how excited you are about the role and how much you want to work for their company. By expressing your enthusiasm for the business, you will make a good impression and ensure that your application stands out.
  • Highlighting particular skills and experiences Cover letters are an opportunity to showcase specific abilities and experiences that make you well-suited to the position. Through highlighting how your abilities match the requirements of the job, you will improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: The cover letter is a way for you to address any concerns the hiring manager might have about your qualifications. For instance, if you have a gap in your professional history or a lack of experience in a particular field, you can explain why this isn’t a problem and what other skills help to make the up-side.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written cover note can help you stand out other applicants. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the specific job and company, you can demonstrate that you have conducted your own research and that you are aware of what the employer is looking for.
  • Your writing skills as well as your attention to detail and professionalism A cover letter should be an indication of your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey an impression that you’re a professional and polished candidate who takes the job interview process seriously.

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 Shepparton resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

A wonderful team they have there at Shepparton resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.
