The Power of a Strong Cover Letter

Posted by Gladstone Resume on 14 Jun 2025

A cover letter to accompany a resume is an important element of the job application process. While a resume provides a summary of your qualifications and experience, a cover letter can be a chance to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and present the reasons why you’re an ideal fit for the position.

  • Showing your enthusiasm for the job Cover letters are a great opportunity to show the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are for the position and how much you want to work for their business. By expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you can impress the hiring manager and make your application stand out.

In highlighting the ways your skills match the requirements of the job, you’ll enhance your chances of securing an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: Cover letters allow you to address any issues the hiring manager might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if have gaps in your employment history or a lack of experience in a certain area, you can explain why this shouldn’t be a problem and how your other qualifications can make up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written cover letter will make you stand out from other candidates. By creating a cover letter that is tailored to the specific position and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your research and that you know what the company is looking for.

First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Gladstone Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.

This is well worth the investment. So if you are tossing up whether you should do it or not just pull the trigger. I dealt with Tanja and she was incredibly professional. She communicated thoroughly. Provided a timely turnaround. The final outcome was brilliant. Admittedly I would have never had the capacity to put that much time and effort in. It's crazy how someone who is writing about you can capture you better than you can yourself. Massive thanks to Tanja. Highly recommended Gladstone Resume.
