Why a Cover Letter Matters

Posted by Griffith Resume on 22 Apr 2026

A cover letter to accompany the resume is an essential step in the job application process. While a resume provides a summary of your qualifications and work knowledge, a cover letter gives you the chance to introduce your self to the manager who is hiring you and provide the reason why you are the best fit for the position.

Here are some important points to be aware of when writing a cover letters for your resume.

  • Showing 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 business. In expressing your enthusiasm for the company, you’ll make a good impression and make your application stand out.
  • Highlighting particular skills and experiences Cover letters are an opportunity to show particular skills and experiences that will make you a good fit for the job. By highlighting how your qualifications meet the needs of the job, you will improve your chances of being invited to an interview.
  • In response to any concerns that might arise: A cover letter can be used to address any potential concerns that the manager who is hiring you might be concerned about your credentials. For example, if you have a gap in your employment history or lack of experience in a particular field, you can explain why this shouldn’t be a problem and how your other qualifications can make the up-side.
  • Helping you stand out: A well-written cover note can make you stand out from other candidates. By making your cover letter specific to the specific position and company, it will show that you have done your research and you know what the company is looking for.
  • Highlighting your writing talents and attention to detail and professionalism A cover letter should be an indication of your writing ability, attention to detail, and professionalism. A professionally written cover letter can convey the impression of a polished and professional candidate who takes the job selection process seriously.

A wonderful team they have there at Griffith 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 Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews.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.
