Enhancing Your Resume by Including the Cover Letter

Posted by Gladstone Resume on 28 Jun 2026

A cover letter to accompany the resume is an essential part of the application process. While a resume offers the details of your education, qualifications and knowledge, a cover letter is an opportunity to introduce yourself to the hiring manager and present the reasons why you’re the best fit for the position.

Here are some of the most important things to keep in mind when writing a cover letter to include on your resume:

  • Expressing your enthusiasm for the job Cover letters are an excellent opportunity to tell the manager who will be hiring you how enthusiastic you are about the role and how much you want to work for their company. By expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you’ll create a positive impression and help your application stand out.
  • Highlighting the specific skills and experiences you have: A cover letter is an opportunity to display specific skills and experiences that will make you a good fit to the position. If you highlight how your credentials correspond to the requirements of the job, you’ll improve your chances of getting an interview.
  • Be prepared to address any issues that may arise. Cover letters allow you to address any issues the hiring manager may have regarding your skills. For example, if you have gaps in your employment history or a lack of experience in a certain area You can provide a reason why this shouldn’t be a problem and how your other qualifications make up for it.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written cover letter will help you stand out from other candidates. By adapting your cover letter to the job you are applying for and the company, you will be able to show that you have done your homework and that you know what the business is looking for.
  • Your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism Cover letters are a reflection of your writing skills, attention to detail, and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey that you are a polished and professional candidate who is taking the interview process seriously.

From the moment I called to get some information on the process involved, I was taken by how efficient and professional Tanja was with assisting me. Tanja was patient and prompt with her replying to me with my queries, she was more than happy to make many changes for me with no fuss at all.

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 Gladstone resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.

Tanya created a resume and cover letter for me. Her writing is powerful and wonderfully descriptive yet succinct where it needs to be; and perfectly summarised all of my ideas. Her communication was efficient and punctual, and I received my final products within two working days of payment. Thank you Tanya!

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.
