A tailored cover letter has several benefits when applying for a job:
- It demonstrates to the employer that you have done your research and are familiar with the company and the specific job for which you are applying.
- It allows you to highlight your relevant skills and qualifications that make you a good fit for the job and the company.
- It gives you the opportunity to show your interest and enthusiasm for the job, which can be especially important if you are applying to a company you are particularly interested in working for.
- Tailoring your cover letter to the specific job and company can help to make your application stand out from others who may have submitted generic or impersonal letters.
- It helps to address the needs of the specific job you are applying and to show how your experiences can match their needs.
- It makes it possible to identify any potential gaps in your qualifications for the position and help you to work on how to bridge that gap and still show how you are the best fit for the role.
