Selling Yourself: The Cover Letter Guide

Posted by Alice Springs Resume on 14 Sep 2025

A cover letter to accompany the resume is an essential element of the job application process. While a resume gives the details of your education, qualifications and experiences, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce your self to the hiring manager and explain why you are an ideal fit for the job.

  • Exhibiting your enthusiasm about the position: A cover letter is the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to the hiring manager how excited you are for the position and how much you want to work for their company.

In highlighting the ways your skills are in line with the requirements for the position, you’ll improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. A cover letter can be used to address any concerns the hiring manager may be concerned about your credentials. For example, if you have a gap in your employment history or lack experience in a particular field You can provide a reason the reason why this doesn’t matter and what other skills can make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover note can make you stand out from other applicants. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the specific job and company, it will show that you’ve done your research and that you understand what the company is looking for.

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 Alice Springs resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
