The main clues for this kind of information are usually available in the job ad or announcement. Read the vacancy notice very carefully. There are many hints in a job ad and you should pay attention. to the same.
For example, if an employer states that the position requires punctuality, then be sure that you state in
your resume or cover letter that you are reliable, dependable or something similar. Match each requirement in the job ad with your personal qualifications, characteristics or achievements.
One of the ways that this can be done easily is to make a comprehensive list of your achievements, skills, attributes, experience, talents, strengths and past work-related job functions, if any. Once this has been done, you have a whole set of solid qualifications from which to choose when matching your abilities to specific job descriptions.

covering letter highlighting the skills particular to the
required job will certainly favor you.

Just match your qualifications to each aspect of the position you are applying for.
Employers will take notice when you make an effort to create a resume that meets their needs. It is certainly worth the time. You never know, there may be another candidate out there who is working just as hard if not harder to land the job you want.
Your
cover letter should start from giving a brief but too the point summary of your qualifications. This can start from your school education itself.
