The significance of formatting your Cover Letter Writing

Posted by Ulladulla Resume on 27 Mar 2025

When it comes to seeking a job, an impressive resume and cover letter are essential. But, having good content doesn’t suffice. The layout that you write your letter in is as crucial as the content. A cover letter that is poorly formatted can make a bad impression on your hiring manager While a professionally formatted one will help your company stand out from the crowd. In this post, we’ll look at the rules and guidelines for the formatting of your cover letter, and discuss why it may be beneficial to let professionals such as Ulladulla Resume handle the formatting for you.

Let’s start by discussing the rules of cover letter format.

  1. Do use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial and Calibri are all options. Avoid using fancy fonts or hard-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Make use of the same font, size and format in the letter of cover.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Utilize single, or 1.15 line spacing. Also, make sure you leave sufficient white space in between the paragraphs so that the letter is easy to read.
  4. Do include your contact information at the top of the letter. This should include your address, name along with your telephone number and email.
  5. Make sure to personalize your letter. Make use of the name of the hiring manager If you can, and tailor your letter to the job and the company that you’re applying for.

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

  1. Don’t use a template. Each cover letter should be unique and tailored to the particular job and company you’re applying to.
  2. Don’t exceed one page. Keep the letter brief and straight to the main point.
  3. Avoid using fancy layouts. Stick to a simple, professional layout.
  4. Do not forget to proofread. Double-check grammar and spelling errors prior to sending your letter.
  5. Don’t forget to sign the letter.
