Your Cover Letter is Important

When writing a Cover Letter, most people make the mistake of using a generic template, and then use that space to restate the information on their resume.

Unfortunately, this practice will usually end up with your application sent straight to the bin. That’s why it is imperative that your Cover Letter present your accomplishments and work experience (your value!) in a manner that compliments your qualifications for the job, rather than repeats information.

A lot of our customers struggle to find the correct way to present themselves in their cover letter. It can be especially difficult if you are a modest individual, new to the workforce, or making a complete career change.

Commonly Asked Questions About Cover Letters

What do I write in a cover letter?

Your cover letter should tell the strategic story behind your resume. Address who you are, the value you bring to the organisation, and why you want the role. Highlight relevant achievements, key project outcomes, and specific skills that align with the employer’s needs to demonstrate how you will solve their specific business challenges from day one. Avoid generic position description filler that the reader can assume based on your position title. 

How do I write a good cover letter in Australia?

A strong Australian cover letter should be concise (300 to 400 words across 3 to 4 paragraphs) and tailored directly to the job advert. Start with a strong opening. The opening should immediately capture a tired recruiter or hiring manager’s attention. The opening should make the reader want to know more about you. Focus on 2 or 3 quantifiable achievements or outcomes that match the selection criteria rather than padding it out with information that sounds like everyone else applying. Conclude with a polite, professional call to action inviting an interview.

Can employers tell if you use ChatGPT for a cover letter?

Yes, experienced recruitment consultants and hiring managers instantly spot AI-generated cover letters. Unedited ChatGPT or AI cover letters rely on overused buzzwords, repetitive structures, and generic statements that lack concrete industry experience. While AI can help you research a position and determine if your skills match the job level, you shouldn’t ever submit an unedited AI cover letter. In doing so, you’ll send the signal that you haven’t put in any effort and it can lead to immediate rejection.

Are cover letters outdated in 2026?

No, cover letters are not outdated, but the way recruiters read them has evolved. While an automated Applicant Tracking System (ATS) screens your CV for technical skills, hiring managers rely on a tailored cover letter to gauge your commercial acumen, cultural fit, and genuine interest in the role. In competitive markets, a well-crafted cover letter is often the deciding factor that moves an application from the ‘maybe’ pile to the interview shortlist.

Try not to become a person of success but rather try to become a person of value.

Reasons you still need to have a cover letter!

cover letter writing services

There’s a lot of talk in the professional world that the Cover Letter is becoming obsolete, and here’s the truth… it is.

These days most hiring managers will only spend a few seconds glancing over a Cover Letter, choosing to instead look at a potential candidates resume and Linkedin profiles to determine whether they will reach out to you.

However, there are still many reasons why a Cover Letter is necessary, and why you should still consider hiring a professional Cover Letter writer to assist you with this part of your career journey. Here are our top 5 reasons why you still need a Cover Letter.

5

If the job you’re applying for asks for one

This should be obvious, but if a company specifically asks that you supply them with a Cover Letter as part of the application process, then you need to.

Not fulfilling the requirements of a job application shows the hiring manager that you’re not that serious about the position, and means you won’t be getting a call for an interview.

4

It shows that you REALLY want the job!

Just like it was touched on in #1, adding a Cover Letter to your application shows the recruiter or hiring manager just how serious you are about the job.

Taking the time to produce a well drafted Cover Letter, that highlights your achievements and how your prior positions make you an ideal candidate can show the hiring manager that you are willing to go the extra mile.

3

It makes you highlight what’s really important

With a professional Cover Letter, you get a chance to bring attention how your career and experiences parallel the position you are applying for.

Unlike a resume, this is your opportunity to break your experiences and achievements down further to engage your potential employer in wanting to know more about you.

2

It can help you explain your resume further

For those who have gaps in their resume, or have experience listed on their resume that they feel needs further explanation, a Cover Letter can help tie up those pieces.

Truthfully, your resume should be able to stand on its own, but in some cases having a Cover Letter as well can really help a hiring manager make the decision to reach out for an interview.

1

You get the chance to speak directly to the hiring manager

A Cover Letter is your one chance to show your potential new employer who you are outside of your resume.

This is your opportunity to promote who you are, your passion for the position, and the chance to demonstrate your knowledge about the company.

It’s your chance to shine above the competition and stand out!

CV and Resume Writing Services for Every Industry

We're a Small Team with 20+ years of Recruitment and Resume Writing Experience​ Across All Industries

Recruitment and Resume Writing

Executives, Finance, HR, Marketing & Sales

Leadership isn’t measured by your job title. It’s measured by your impact.

Senior appointments demand more than experience. Employers want leaders who can grow businesses, increase revenue, reduce costs, influence stakeholders and deliver measurable organisational outcomes.

Our executive resume writing services are designed to position you as exactly that. We work with executives, finance professionals, HR leaders, marketers, lawyers and sales professionals to develop compelling personal brands that communicate strategic thinking, commercial performance and leadership capability.

Every resume is tailored specifically to your career goals while highlighting the achievements that matter most to executive recruiters and hiring managers. The result is a polished, contemporary resume that positions you as a trusted leader ready for your next opportunity.

Small Team

Graduates & Career Changers

Everyone starts somewhere. The right resume makes employers focus on where you’re going.

Whether you’re entering the workforce, changing careers or building on your trade qualifications, you have more to offer than you might think. Employers aren’t only looking at previous job titles. They’re looking for potential, transferable skills, work ethic and the ability to learn.

We help graduates, apprentices, career changers and skilled tradespeople identify the strengths they’ve already developed through education, training, volunteering, apprenticeships and previous employment. We then present those strengths in a way that gives employers confidence in your ability to succeed.

From electricians and plumbers to mechanics, technicians and university graduates, we create modern, ATS-friendly resumes that showcase your potential and help you compete with more experienced applicants. Your career journey is just beginning, and we’re here to help you take the next step with confidence.

Industry Insight

Mining, FIFO, Engineering & Construction

Mining, FIFO, engineering and construction employers are looking for professionals who can demonstrate technical expertise, safety awareness, reliability and measurable project outcomes. Whether you’re an engineer, project engineer, superintendent, supervisor, operator, tradesperson or site manager, your resume needs to showcase the value you’ve delivered on projects rather than simply listing responsibilities.

We work with professionals across mining, civil construction, oil and gas, infrastructure, manufacturing and heavy industry to create resumes that highlight major projects, leadership responsibilities, safety performance, budgets managed and operational achievements. We also ensure relevant licences, tickets, certifications and software experience are presented clearly so recruiters can quickly identify your suitability.

Our resumes are designed to pass Applicant Tracking Systems while also making it easy for recruiters and hiring managers to understand your experience across complex projects. Whether you’re applying for FIFO opportunities, shutdown work, engineering consultancies or major infrastructure projects, we’ll help position you as a strong candidate.

Secret Formula

Information Technology, Business Analysts & Project Managers

You’ve solved complex business problems. Don’t let a basic resume hide that.

Technology professionals are expected to deliver projects, improve systems, manage stakeholders and drive innovation. Yet many IT resumes simply list software, certifications and methodologies without explaining the business impact behind them.

We transform technical experience into compelling achievements that recruiters and hiring managers actually understand. Whether you’re an IT professional, Business Analyst, Project Manager, Scrum Master, cybersecurity specialist or software developer, we demonstrate how you’ve delivered successful projects, reduced costs, improved systems and created business value.

By combining technical keywords with commercially focused achievements, we create ATS-friendly resumes that position you as someone who doesn’t just understand technology, but uses it to deliver results.

Want to Know You

Healthcare, Nurses, Teachers & Hospitality

People trust you with their health, education or experience. Your resume should earn the same trust.

Healthcare, education and hospitality employers look for professionals who combine technical expertise with compassion, communication and professionalism. Unfortunately, many resumes fail to communicate these strengths effectively.

We help nurses, teachers, allied health professionals, childcare educators, aged care workers, hospitality managers and customer-facing professionals present their experience through measurable achievements, leadership, patient outcomes, student success and exceptional customer service.

Instead of simply listing daily duties, we demonstrate the difference you’ve made throughout your career. The result is a professional, ATS-friendly resume that reflects your expertise, builds credibility and gives employers confidence that you’re the right fit for their team.

Resumes Done Right Australian Owned

Government, APS, Defence & Police

Government recruiters don’t hire based on job titles. They hire based on evidence.

Whether you’re applying for an APS role, State Government, Local Government, Defence or Police position, your resume needs to clearly demonstrate leadership, stakeholder engagement, governance, policy implementation and measurable outcomes. Simply listing your responsibilities won’t separate you from hundreds of other applicants.

Our team understands the language government recruiters expect to see. We create achievement-focused, ATS-friendly resumes that showcase your experience using the capability frameworks, keywords and evidence-based writing style commonly used across the public sector.

From APS3 through to Executive Level appointments, Defence civilian roles and Police support positions, we tailor every resume to highlight your strengths and demonstrate why you’re the right person for the role. If you’re serious about progressing your government career, we’ll help you present your experience with confidence and clarity.
