Cover Letter Writing 101

Posted by Singleton Resume on 11 Jul 2025

Cover letters are an important component of your job application since it provides an opportunity to introduce you to potential employers and demonstrate why you’re the ideal candidate for the position. However, writing a cover letter can be a daunting task, particularly if not sure of what you should include or how to format it. Here are some tips for writing a cover letter that will allow you to stand apart from your competitors.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the position you’re applying to: Each job is unique It’s crucial to tailor your cover letters specifically to the position you’re applying for. Research the company and the job requirements, and use this information to emphasize the ways your abilities and experiences coincide with what they’re seeking.
  2. Use a professional tone: A cover letter is a formal document, so it’s important to maintain a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang or overly casual language. Stick to a formal, professional tone.
  3. Keep it concise Your cover letter should be no more than a page It’s crucial to be succinct and get to the main points quickly. Use bullet points as well as short paragraphs to make your cover letter easy to read.
  4. Show your enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about the work and company. Your cover letter should express your excitement for the position and explain why you’re the perfect fit for the role.
  5. When you’re submitting the cover letter be sure to proofread your letter for spelling and grammar errors. A cover letter with errors could make a negative impression, so it’s important to make sure it’s error-free.

It’s important to note that different types of jobs will require different kinds and styles of resumes. For example, a cover letter for a job that requires creativity in the design field could be more visual and include graphics and images, while one for a job in the finance industry could be more conservative and concentrate on your skills and experience.

A well-written covering letter could make a all the impression on your application for a job.

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 Singleton resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
