Find out about the company and specific requirements for the job. Use this information to show the way your skills and experience match what they’re looking for.
  2. Employ a professional tone A cover letter is a formal document, so it’s important to keep an appropriate tone throughout. Avoid using slang and casual language, and stick to a formal and professional tone.

  4. Express your enthusiasm Employers want to know that you’re enthusiastic about your role and your company. Your cover letter should convey your enthusiasm for the job and to explain why you’re an ideal candidate for the job.
  5. Proofread: Before submitting the cover letter make sure you proofread it for any spelling or grammar errors. A cover letter with errors could make a negative impression, therefore it’s essential to ensure it’s error free.

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 Bunbury Resume.

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 Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews.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