For instance, if you have a gap in your employment history or a lack of experience in a certain area, you can explain why this shouldn’t be a problem and what other skills make up for it.
  • Helping you stand out A well-written cover note can help you stand out from other candidates. By adapting your cover letter to the specific position and company, you can demonstrate that you have done your research and that you know what the company is looking for.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Port Macquarie resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
