Cover Letter Writing 101

Posted by Sale Resume on 24 Jul 2025

A cover letter is an essential element of your application for employment since it provides an opportunity to present yourself to potential employers and to explain why you’re a good candidate for the position. However, writing a cover letter is a difficult job, especially if not sure what to include or how to format it. Here are some suggestions for writing a cover letter that can make you stand above the rest of the applicants.

  1. Create a cover letter that is specific to the position you’re applying to Every job is different It’s crucial to adapt your cover letter to the particular job you’re applying to. Learn about the company as well as the specifications for the job, and use this information to show how your skills and experience match what they’re looking for.
  2. Use a professional tone: Your cover letter will be a formal piece of writing and therefore it is essential to maintain an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too informal language and stick to a formal, business-like tone.
  3. Keep it concise Cover letters should be no more than one page, so it’s important to be succinct and get to the main points quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letters easy to read.
  4. Be enthusiastic: Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about your job and the company. Use your cover letter to demonstrate your enthusiasm for the position and explain why you’re the perfect fit for the job.
  5. When you’re submitting your letter of cover, make sure you proofread it for spelling and grammar errors. A cover letter that isn’t proofread can make a bad impression. Therefore, it’s vital to ensure it’s error free.

It’s important to keep in mind that different types of jobs will require different kinds of cover letters. For instance the cover letter for a job in the design industry may be more visual and include graphics and images, while an application letter for a job in finance might be more reserved and concentrate on your skills and experience.

In the end, a well-written resume can be a all the difference in your job application. By tailoring it to the job that you’re applying for, employing a professional tone making it short, demonstrating your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you will increase your odds of being interviewed.

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 Sale 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.
