Why professional cover letter formatting Important

Posted by Perth Professional Resume Writers on 21 Sep 2024

When it comes to applying for a job, well-written resumes and cover letter is crucial. But, having good content isn’t enough. The design of your cover letter is as important as your content. A cover letter that is poorly formatted could leave a bad impression on the hiring manager and a properly formatted one can help your company stand out from the other applicants. In this post, we’ll look at the rules and guidelines for cover letter formatting, and also discuss the reasons why it might be beneficial to let an expert such as Perth Professional Resume Writers handle the formatting for you.

First, let’s talk about the rules of formatting your cover letters.

  1. Do use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial, as well as Calibri are all options. Avoid using fancy fonts or hard-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font, size, and layout throughout the cover letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Use single or 1.15 line spacing. Also, allow plenty of white space to make the text easier to understand.
  4. Include your contact information on the front of your letter. It should include your name, address, phone number, and email.
  5. Personalize the letter. Make use of the name of the hiring manager If possible, and then tailor the letter to the specific job and company which you’re applying.

Let’s discuss the essentials of cover letter layout.

  1. Don’t make use of a template. Every cover letter should be unique and tailored to the specific job and organization you’re applying to.
  2. Do not exceed one page. Keep the letter concise and to the main point.
  3. Don’t go overboard with your formatting. Use a simple, professional layout.
  4. Make sure to proofread your letter. Double-check grammar and spelling errors prior to sending your letter.
  5. Make sure to sign the letter.

First time using a resume writer, and so happy with the finished resume. I was also so impressed with the prompt responses throughout the whole process from Tanya and in general the quick turnaround time to produce it. I love the fact the resume represented who I am based on my skills and attributes. I definitely recommend Perth Resume to anyone who hasn't used a resume writer before. They are also so affordable compared to so many on the market who charge an absolute fortune.
