    5 Benefits of Including a Good Cover Letter With Your Resume

    Including a cover letter with your resume is a great way to help you stand out from the rest of the crowd.

    A lot of candidates think that a cover letter takes extra time, which is why they don’t want to put in the hard work. In this article, I am going to highlight some of the most important benefits of writing a good cover letter and how it can help you land a good job. 

    The very first and the most important benefit of including a cover letter with your resume is that it helps you gain an edge when it comes to a job opening. The current market has become a lot more competitive than it used to be, which means that you need to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

    With the help of a good cover letter, you can show the recruiter that you are more qualified for the job than other candidates. You can also customize the cover letter depending on the company you’re applying to by personalizing it with the name of the recruiter.

    Cover letters and resumes go hand in hand, but their purpose is very different. Where on one side, a resume is used to show factual information about your past experiences and studies, a cover letter can be used to tell a proper story to the recruiter. 

    For example, if you have a gap year in your resume or you have poor CGPA, it might throw off a very bad image. However, you can explain the reason for the gap year or poor CGPA with the help of a cover letter so that the recruiter is able to understand it.

    Another reason why a cover letter puts a candidate at an advantage is that it shows the recruiter that you actually care about the job.Cover letters are very detailed and highlight specific things that take a lot of time and effort from your side.

    When the employer sees that you have taken some time out of your schedule and put some effort into writing a cover letter, he will be very impressed. You can also use the cover letter to outline why you are a perfect fit for a specific company and what benefits you are going to provide them. 

    As I have mentioned before, if you want to write a good cover letter, you are going to need to do a lot of research about the company you are applying for.

    You can use a cover letter to impress the interviewer by letting him see that you care about the interview and the job as much as he does. 

    You can easily set your resume apart from generic resumes that don’t have a lot of substance in them. Demonstrating research about the company is going to give you a lot of edge, and employers are going to see you as a valuable person that truly wants to work for the company. 



    Last but not least, cover letters are a great show of personality. A lot of companies pay great attention to finding the right fit for their company culture. A lot of highly skilled candidates get rejected because they are not too serious about the job.

    You can use your cover letter to give recruiters a taste of who you really are by letting them take a sneak peek into your personality. You can easily leverage your position by showing that you are a team player and ready to take on any challenge that comes your way.
