Posted by Ulladulla Resume on 27 Mar 2025

When applying for a job, well-written resumes and cover letter is crucial. However, simply having good content doesn’t suffice. The design that you write your letter in is just as important as the content. A poorly formatted cover letter can make a bad impression on the hiring manager While a professionally formatted one can help your application stand out from the competition. In this article, we’ll go over the important aspects of the formatting of your cover letter, and also discuss the reasons why it might be beneficial to let a professional like Ulladulla Resume handle the formatting for you.

In the beginning, let’s discuss the essentials of cover letter formatting.

  1. Do make sure to use a professional typeface. 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. Make use of the same font, the size of the font, and formatting in the letter of cover.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Utilize single, or 1.15 line spacing, and ensure that you leave ample white spaces between each paragraph to make the text simple to comprehend.
  4. Do include your contact information at the top of the letter. Include your address, name telephone number, address, and email address.
  5. Personalize the letter. Include the name of the hiring manager if possible, and tailor the letter to the specific job and the company which you’re applying.

Now, let’s talk about the rules of cover letter formatting.

  1. Use a sample. Every cover letter should be unique and customized to the particular job and organization you’re applying to.
  2. Don’t go over one page. Keep your letter short and to the point.
  3. Do not use fancy formatting. Keep it simple and professional layout.
  4. Do not forget to proofread. Double-check for spelling and grammar errors before sending the letter.
  5. Make sure to acknowledge 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 Ulladulla 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.

I was amazed how quickly and efficiently my request was making progress during COVID lockdown. First I made a contact in the chat where we had a short conversation. Then Tanja and Gemma from Ulladulla Resume contacted me over the phone where we discussed the particulars. I am good in my specialty, but writing resumes is not my strongest skill. As a result I got the resume and the cover letter reworked really well. I believe my chances of getting a good job got way better now than before.
