Get the most impact from your cover with proper format. Letter Format

Posted by Albury Resume on 9 Oct 2024

If you’re the process of applying for a job an impressive resume and cover letter are crucial. However, just having great content isn’t enough. The layout of the cover letter you send out is as crucial as the content. A cover letter that is poorly formatted will leave a negative impression on your hiring manager and a properly formatted one can make you stand out from your crowd. In this article, we’ll cover the rules and guidelines for the format of your cover letters, and then discuss why it could be beneficial to have an expert such as Albury Resume handle the formatting for you.

Let’s start by discussing the do’s of formatting a cover letter.

  1. Do use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial, as well as Calibri are all excellent choices. Avoid using overly fancy or difficult to read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font font size, and formatting for the covering letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Utilize single, or 1.15 line spacing and leave ample white spaces between each paragraph so that the letter is easier to understand.
  4. Do include your contact information at the top of the letter. This should include your address, name, phone number, and email.
  5. Do personalize the letter. Make use of the name of the hiring manager as much as you can, and customize the letter to the particular job and the company that you’re applying for.

Now, let’s discuss the essentials of cover letter formatting.

  1. Use a sample. Each cover letter should be unique and specific to the job you’re applying for and the company you’re applying for.
  2. Don’t exceed one page. Keep your letter short and straight to the essential.
  3. Don’t go overboard with your formatting. Keep it simple and professional layout.
  4. Do not forget to proofread. Double-check spelling and grammar mistakes prior to sending the letter.
  5. Don’t forget to acknowledge the note.

While it’s essential to pay attention to the structure the cover letter you write, it’s difficult and time-consuming to write it yourself.

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Albury Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.
