Elevate Your Cover Letter Game

Posted by Geelong Resume on 10 Jan 2026

Cover letters are a vital part of your job application since it provides an opportunity to introduce yourself to potential employers and demonstrate why you are the best candidate for the position. But, writing a cover letter is a difficult task, particularly if not sure of what you should include or how to structure it. Here are some tips for writing a cover letter that will make you stand out from the competition.

  1. Make sure your cover letter is tailored to the position you’re applying to Each job is distinct, so it’s important to tailor your cover letters to the specific position you’re applying for. Study the company’s requirements and specific requirements for the job. Use this information to highlight the way your skills and experience coincide with what they’re looking for.
  2. Use a professional tone: Cover letters are an official document and therefore it is essential to adopt a professional tone throughout. Avoid using slang, or too informal language, and stick to a formal and professional tone.
  3. Keep it brief The cover letter should be no longer than one page It’s crucial to be brief and get to the point quickly. Use bullet points as well as short paragraphs to make your cover letters easy to read.
  4. Express your enthusiasm Employers want to see that you’re enthusiastic about your role and your company. Use your cover letter to express your excitement for the position and explain why you’re a good fit for the role.
  5. Proofread: Before submitting your cover letter, make sure to proofread your letter for spelling or grammar errors. A cover letter with errors could make a negative impression, so it’s important to ensure it’s error free.

It’s important to keep in mind that different kinds of jobs require different types in cover letters. For instance, a cover letter to a position in the design field could be more visual and comprise illustrations and pictures, while one for a position in the finance industry could be more conservative and focus on your education and experience.

In the end, a well-written cover letter can make a huge difference in your job application. When you customize it for the particular job you’re applying to, using a professional tone, staying concise, showing your enthusiasm, and proofreading it, you’ll increase the likelihood of getting an interview.

I used Geelong Resume for a government role submission, which included a selection criteria response. I was very impressed and it landed me the job that i wanted. Thank you again.

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 Geelong resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
