Posted by Gympie Resume on 17 Nov 2024

If you’re seeking a job, having a professional resume and cover letter are crucial. But, having good content doesn’t suffice. The design of your cover letter is just as important as the content. A poorly-formatted cover letter can make a bad impression on the hiring manager While a professionally formatted one can make your company stand out from the crowd. In this article, we’ll go over the important aspects of formatting your cover letter and then discuss why it could be beneficial to let an expert such as Gympie 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 fancy fonts or hard-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Make use of the same font, font size, and formatting in the letter of cover.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Choose single line or 1.15 line spacing. Also, make sure you leave ample white spaces between each paragraph to make the letter simple to comprehend.
  4. Do include your contact information at the top of the letter. This should include your name, address as well as your phone number and email address.
  5. Make sure to personalize your letter. Make use of the name of the hiring manager If you can, and tailor the letter to the particular position and company that you’re applying for.

Now, let’s discuss the rules of cover letter layout.

  1. Do not use a template. Every cover letter should be unique and specific to the job you’re applying for and the organization you’re applying to.
  2. Don’t go over one page. Keep the letter concise and to the essential.
  3. Don’t go overboard with your formatting. Use a simple, professional layout.
  4. Don’t neglect to proofread. Double-check spelling and grammar mistakes before you send the letter.
  5. Make sure to acknowledge the note.
