3 Easy Ways To Tell If You Should Send A Cover Letter...


1️⃣ - They have asked for a cover letter -> Send a cover letter ✅


2️⃣ - They've said, 'cover letter is optional' -> Send a cover letter ✅


3️⃣ - They've said, 'send your resume only' -> Don't send a cover letter ❌


Ok, I appreciate this seems simple enough, but I speak often with hiring managers who consistently say that their first cull of applicants is when the candidate doesn't do what has been asked for in the job advert.


You'd be amazed at how many applicants get this simple step wrong.

Great advice on cover letters and making a strong first impression with Australian employers. At Tutoring Lounge, we often encourage students and graduates to develop both academic and professional communication skills, as a well-written cover letter can be just as important as a strong resume when applying for opportunities.

Great points, Julie! At Edvise Hub, we help professionals with migration assistance in Australia, and we constantly remind them that following basic application rules—like cover letter instructions—is just as crucial as having the right visa. Spot on advice!

Your job application can be strengthened and made more professional by knowing when to send a cover letter. Similarly, knowing when to pay for dissertation paper can save time while ensuring academic excellence. Both choices facilitate effective effort management and improve work or academic performance.
