Mastering the Art of Cover Letter Writing

Posted by Gladstone Resume on 12 Oct 2025

Cover letters are a crucial part of your application, as it is an opportunity to present yourself to prospective employers and to explain why you’re a good candidate for the job. But, writing a cover letter can be a challenging task, particularly if you’re uncertain of what to include or how to format it. Here are some suggestions to compose a cover letter that can help you stand apart from your competitors.

  1. Create a cover letter that is specific to the job you’re applying for: Each job is unique It’s crucial to adapt your cover letter specifically to the position you’re applying for. Study the company’s requirements and specific requirements for the job. Use this information to highlight your experience and skills that correspond with what they’re seeking.
  2. Use a professional tone: A cover letter is a formal letter, so it’s important to adopt an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too informal language, and stick to a formal business tone.
  3. Keep it concise Your cover letter should be no more than a page, so it’s important to be succinct and get to the point quickly. Make use of bullet points and short paragraphs to ensure that your cover letter is easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm: Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about your job and the company. In your cover letter, demonstrate your enthusiasm for the position and also explain why you’re the perfect fit for the position.
  5. When you’re submitting the cover letter make sure that you proofread the letter to ensure that there are no spelling or grammar errors. A cover letter with errors will not make a good impression, so it’s important to make sure that the letter is error-free.

It is important to remember that different kinds of jobs might require different types of cover letters. For instance an application letter for a creative job in the design industry may be more visual , and contain images and graphs, whereas one for a job in the finance sector may be more formal and focus on your skills and experience.

In conclusion, a well-written covering letter could make a a big impression on your application for a job. By tailoring it to the specific job you’re applying to, using a professional tone, making it short, demonstrating your enthusiasm and proofreading it, you’ll increase the likelihood of getting an interview.

A wonderful team they have there at Gladstone resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.
