Professional Formatting to Create a Win-Win Cover Letter

Posted by Toowoomba Resume on 15 Jan 2025

When the process of applying for a job a well-written resume and cover letter are essential. But, having good content isn’t enough. The design for your resume is as crucial as the content. A poorly formatted cover letter can leave a bad impression on the hiring manager, while a well-formatted one will help your company stand out from the competition. In this article, we’ll go over the rules and guidelines for cover letter formatting, and explain why it could be beneficial to let professionals such as Toowoomba Resume handle the formatting for you.

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

  1. Use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial and Calibri are all good options. Avoid using overly fancy or hard-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font, font size, and formatting in the letter of cover.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Use single or 1.15 line spacing and leave ample white spaces between each paragraph to make your letter easy to read.
  4. Do include your contact information near the beginning of the letters. This should include your name, address telephone number, address, and email.
  5. Personalize the letter. The name of the manager you’re hiring If possible, and then tailor the letter to the specific position and company the job you’re interested in.

Let’s discuss the rules of cover letter format.

  1. Don’t make use of a template. Every cover letter should be original and tailored to the specific job and company you’re applying for.
  2. Limit the letter to one page. Keep the letter brief and straight to the essence.
  3. Don’t use overly fancy formatting. Choose a simple, professional layout.
  4. Don’t forget to proofread. Double-check for spelling and grammar mistakes before you send the letter.
  5. Don’t forget to acknowledge the note.

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.

A wonderful team they have there at Toowoomba resume - especially Tanya and Jaime. Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews. I highly recommend not only their resume writing services but also the interview coaching - especially for those who have been out of the workforce for a long time, it’ll definitely help one to be more confident and prepared for their next interview.
