Through highlighting how your abilities correspond to the requirements of the job, you will increase your chances of getting an interview.

For instance, if have gaps in your professional history or lack of experience in a specific field You can provide a reason why this shouldn’t be a problem and how your other qualifications can make more up for it.
  • Making you stand out A well-written and professional cover letter can make you stand out from other applicants. By making your cover letter specific to the specific job and company, you will be able to show that you’ve done your research and that you know what the business is looking for.
