Be more specific with your skill-set for the job.

Explanation:

Most of the people like to describe briefly their skills, but they do it with no details. I mean, to get attention from the owner of the company, or the manager, you need to say, since the beginning, why are you the right person for the job, because everybody says they are good for it.

In addition to it, you should explain your experience for the job and your achievements as a professional in the field.
