Posted by Nelson Bay Resume on 21 Apr 2025

When it comes to the process of applying for a job well-written resumes and cover letter is essential. But, having good content isn’t enough. The structure for your resume is as important as the content itself. A poorly-formatted cover letter can make a bad impression on your hiring manager and a properly formatted one will help you stand out among the crowd. In this article, we’ll cover the important aspects of the format of your cover letters, and discuss why it may be beneficial to have an experienced professional such as Nelson Bay Resume handle the formatting for you.

First, let’s talk about the do’s of cover letter formatting.

  1. Use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial, as well as Calibri are all excellent choices. Avoid using overly fancy or hard-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Make use of the same font, size, and layout across the entire cover letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Use single or 1.15 line spacing and leave plenty of white space to make the letter easier to understand.
  4. Do include your contact information in the upper right-hand corner of the email. This should include your name, address as well as your phone number and email.
  5. Do personalize the letter. The name of the manager you’re hiring If possible, and then tailor the letter to the specific job the job you’re interested in.

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

  1. Do not use a template. Every cover letter must be original and tailored to the particular job and organization you’re applying to.
  2. Do not exceed one page. Keep the letter brief and to the essential.
  3. Don’t use overly fancy formatting. Stick to a simple, professional layout.
  4. Don’t neglect to proofread. Double-check grammar and spelling errors prior to sending your letter.
  5. Don’t forget to sign the note.

Fantastic I highly recommend this company they compiled an amazing resume and cover letter in PDF format and word, don't worry if you find computers frustrating as I do they will book an interview with you over the phone. The consultant took about a hour (less if you have everything organised which I did not). Also they will sort out your LinkedIn profile if you have one. Again amazing. Thanks again for your help. Rob
