Are cover letters still relevant in 2023?
Is a cover letter important when applying for jobs in the healthcare industry in 2023? Absolutely! In fact, a cover letter is just as important as your resume when applying for a job in healthcare.
A cover letter provides an opportunity to introduce yourself, highlight your skills and experiences that are relevant to the role and communicate your interest in the position.
A well written cover letter allows you to showcase your accomplishments and demonstrate your ability to clearly communicate and express yourself. In healthcare, where communication is critical, a cover letter that demonstrates your writing skills and communication style can set you apart from other applicants.
To write an effective cover letter for a healthcare position, consider these five questions:
What are the employer's requirements and how do your skills and experiences meet those requirements?
What are your career goals and how do they align with the position you are applying for?
What are your top qualities that make you a good fit for the role?
How can you showcase your relevant experience and achievements?
Why do you want to work for this healthcare organisation?
Once you have answered these questions, you can begin writing your cover letter.
Start by introducing yourself and providing some background information that is relevant to the position. In the sales pitch section, highlight your skills, experiences and achievements, using specific examples to demonstrate how you meet the employer's requirements.
Finally, conclude your cover letter with a request for further action, such as indicating that you will follow up with a call or email to schedule an interview. Remember to proofread your cover letter multiple times and ask a trusted friend or family member to review it for you.
In healthcare, a well written cover letter can make all the difference in getting you noticed and landing that dream job.

I have worked with Drake Medox Canberra as a disability support worker for roughly over 6 months now. Working at Drake is a relaxed environment and you are supported by the management 24/7 if you need help, have any questions or queries. The management/staff are approachable and very supportive. They have flexible working hours which works out great for me as a mum who has to juggle both work and family! They also try and match me with clients that they know I will get on well with. The weekly pay is a bonus. I would highly recommend working for Drake Medox!

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Drake Medox. The office staff have been fabulous to deal with. I haven't felt just like a number, and I feel that they have my client’s best interests at heart. It makes me want to always do the absolute best I can, and I have felt appreciated for my efforts. I have enjoyed sharing good "stories" with staff and felt they too had pleasure in hearing of a client’s good progress. I always feel listened to if I have any concerns, and this encourages staff greatly. I feel that overall, the "team" is a good one and have referred others because it is so good!
