Posted by Bunbury Resume on 24 Feb 2025

If you’re the process of applying for a job well-written resumes and cover letter are crucial. However, simply having good content isn’t enough. The layout for your resume is as important as the content itself. A poorly formatted cover letter will leave a negative impression on the manager who is hiring and a properly formatted one can make you stand out from your crowd. In this post, we’ll look at the do’s and don’ts of the formatting of your cover letter, and then discuss why it could be beneficial to let professionals such as Bunbury Resume handle the formatting for you.

The first thing to discuss is the basics of formatting a cover letter.

  1. Use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial, and Calibri are all great choices. Avoid using too extravagant or hard-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font, size, and layout across the entire cover letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Choose single line or 1.15 lines, and ensure that you leave ample white spaces between each paragraph to make the letter simple to comprehend.
  4. Include your contact information on the front of your letter. It should include your address, name telephone number, address, and email address.
  5. Personalize the letter. Use the hiring manager’s name as much as you can, and customize the letter to the specific job and company you’re applying to.
