Posted by Kalgoorlie Resume on 15 Jul 2026

A poorly formatted cover letter could leave a bad impression on the manager who is hiring however a well-formatted cover letter can make your company stand out from the other applicants. In this post, we’ll look at the do’s and don’ts of cover letter formatting, and then discuss why it could be beneficial to let a professional like Kalgoorlie Resume handle the formatting for you.

  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font the size of the font, and formatting for the covering letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Choose single line or 1.15 line spacing and leave enough white space between paragraphs to make the text simple to comprehend.
  4. Do include your contact information on the front of your letter. This should include your address, name along with your telephone number and email address.
  5. Make sure to personalize your letter. Include the name of the hiring manager If possible, and then tailor the letter to the specific job and the company that you’re applying for.

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 Tanya had made my super outdated resume look wonderful again and Jaime gave me an invaluable session and coaching on going for interviews.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.

Kalgoorlie Resume were approached by me 2 years ago to complete my professional CV and Cover letter, the service was fast, efficient and of the highest quality. Recently I once again approached Tanja to update my CV and cover letter at short notice, the service provided was once again of the highest standard.

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

I moved to Australia 2.5 years ago. After feeling stagnated in my job, I started to look at my resume again and attempted to update it. After realising it was extremely outdated, I enlisted the help of Perth Resume. Tanja was great, very prompt at replying to any queries I had and returned an updated resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile within 3 business days. I must say the documents look great. Highly recommended.
