Posted by Kalgoorlie Resume on 6 Dec 2024

When it comes to seeking a job, an impressive resume and cover letter is crucial. However, simply having good content isn’t enough. The layout for your resume is as important as the content itself. A badly formatted cover letter will leave a negative impression on the manager who is hiring however a well-formatted cover letter can make your application stand out from the crowd. In this article, we’ll go over the important aspects of formatting your cover letter and then discuss why it could be beneficial to let professionals such as Kalgoorlie Resume handle the formatting for you.

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

  1. Do make sure to use a professional typeface. Times New Roman, Arial, as well as Calibri are all excellent choices. Avoid using fancy fonts or hard-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font the size of the font, and formatting in the letter of cover.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Use single or 1.15 line spacing. Also, allow ample white spaces between each paragraph so that the letter is simple to comprehend.
  4. Include your contact information at the top of the letter. It should include your address, name as well as your phone number and email address.
  5. Do personalize the letter. The name of the manager you’re hiring if possible, and tailor the letter to the specific job you’re applying to.

Now, let’s talk about the don’ts of cover letter format.

  1. Do not use a template. Every cover letter needs to be unique and tailored to the specific position and business you’re applying to.
  2. Don’t exceed one page. Keep the letter brief and to the essential.
  3. Don’t use overly fancy formatting. Keep it simple and professional layout.
  4. Don’t forget to proofread. Double-check for spelling and grammar mistakes prior to sending the letter.

A wonderful team they have there at Kalgoorlie 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 Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews.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.

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 :)
