Increase the impact of your letter with the right cover Letter Format

Posted by Coffs Harbour Resume on 12 Mar 2025

When you are seeking a job, having a professional resume and cover letter is crucial. However, simply having good content isn’t enough. The design of the cover letter you send out is just as important as the content. A badly formatted cover letter can make a bad impression on the hiring manager and a properly formatted one can help your application stand out from the crowd. In this post, we’ll look at the important aspects of formatting your cover letter and then discuss why it could be beneficial to have a professional like Coffs Harbour Resume handle the formatting for you.

First, let’s talk about the rules of cover letter format.

  1. Make sure you 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, size and format throughout the cover letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Use single or 1.15 line spacing and ensure that you leave sufficient white space in between the paragraphs so that the letter is easily read.
  4. Include your contact information at the top of the letter. This includes your address, name along with your telephone number and email address.
  5. Make sure to personalize your letter. Make use of the name of the hiring manager if possible, and tailor the letter to the specific job that you’re applying for.

Let’s get to the dos and don’ts of cover letters formatting.

  1. Don’t use a template. Every cover letter should be unique and customized to the specific position and company you’re applying to.
  2. Don’t exceed one page. Keep your letter short and to the point.
  3. Don’t use overly fancy formatting. Keep it simple and professional layout.
  4. Don’t forget to proofread. Double-check spelling and grammar errors prior to sending your letter.
  5. Make sure to sign the letter.

While it’s important to pay attention to the format the cover letter you write, it can be laborious and difficult to complete it yourself.

I ordered the Gold Package which was a Resume and Cover letter. I would honestly rate it an easy 10/10. Not only was the resume and cover letter perfect but the Customer Service is what really blew me away. Literally a few minutes after making the order I was contacted and a resume plan was formulated. Thank You Tanja :)
