Cover Letter Writing 101

Posted by Tamworth Resume on 14 Jul 2025

An effective cover letter will be a vital part of your job application because it gives you an opportunity to introduce your self to prospective employers and to explain why you’re the ideal candidate for the job. Writing a cover letter can be a daunting task, especially if you’re uncertain of what to include or how to format it. Here are some tips to compose a cover letter to allow you to stand in the crowd.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the position you’re applying to: Each job is unique, so it’s important to tailor your cover letter specifically to the position you’re applying to. Research the company and the specific requirements for the job. Use this information to highlight the ways your abilities and experiences match what they’re seeking.
  2. Maintain a professional tone The cover letter should be a formal piece of writing and therefore it is essential to adopt a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang or overly casual language. Stick to a formal business tone.
  3. Make it short and concise: A cover letter should be one page or less It’s crucial to be succinct and get to the point quickly. Utilize bullet points and short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Be enthusiastic Employers want to see that you’re excited about the job and the company. Use your cover letter to show your enthusiasm about the position and provide why you’re an ideal candidate for the role.
  5. When you’re submitting an application letter to the employer, make sure to proofread it for any spelling or grammar mistakes. An uncorrected cover letter could make a negative impression, therefore it’s essential to make sure it’s error-free.

It is important to remember that different kinds of jobs may require different types and styles of resumes. For instance one cover letter that is for a job in the design sector could be more visual , and contain graphics and images, while a cover letter for a job in the finance industry could be more conservative and focus on your skills and experience.

In the end, a well-written resume can be a a huge difference in your job application. By tailoring it to the job you’re applying to, with a professional tone, staying concise, showing your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you’ll improve the likelihood of getting an interview.

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
