Resume Cover Letters are an extremely important tool for job hunters. Yet many people under-estimate the advantages which a good cover letter can deliver. Whether you are a graduate, professional or executive, a well crafted cover letter can give you the edge when it comes to getting interviews. Impressive CVs is a specialist Resume and Cover Letter writing company. Below, we highlight the essential features which any good cover letter should have.

Features of a good resume cover letter:

• It should effectively sell you to your target employers.
• It should highlight the value that you will add to their organisation and the benefits which they will derive by hiring you.
• It should serve as a mechanism to focus your prospective employer's attention on your key strengths and the benefits of hiring you.
• It introduces you as an individual. Remember, hiring authorities often receive hundreds of resumes for a single job. You are more likely to stick in the hiring authority's mind if you present yourself as an individual.
• It should differentiate you from the competition. The vast majority of those competing for your target job will not have written cover letters. A well crafted cover letter will ensure that you stand out from the crowd.
• It should act as a demonstration of your professionalism. Everyone wants to work with professionals. A resume submitted with a good cover letter is so much more professional than one without.
• It should highlight the fact that you have spent time on your application, that you have made the effort to investigate the target company. This can be a tremendous advantage in an age when automated mass submission of resumes is becoming the norm.

Clearly this is a tool that can give you significant advantages in your job hunt. You would have to be mad not to take it seriously.
