Posted by Ulladulla Resume on 31 May 2026

When seeking a job, a well-written resume and cover letter is essential. However, simply having good content isn’t enough. The structure of the cover letter you send out is just as important as the content itself. A badly formatted cover letter could leave a bad impression on the manager who is hiring While a professionally formatted one will make your application stand out from the competition. In this article, we’ll go over the important aspects of formatting your cover letter and discuss why it may be beneficial to have an expert such as Ulladulla Resume handle the formatting for you.

Let’s start by discussing the essentials of cover letter formatting.

  1. Use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial, and Calibri are all good options. Beware of using too fancy or difficult-to-read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Make use of the same font, font size, and formatting in the letter of cover.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Utilize single, or 1.15 lines, and make sure you leave sufficient white space in between the paragraphs to make your letter easily read.
  4. Do include your contact information near the beginning of the letters. Include your address, name as well as your phone number and email address.
  5. Make sure to personalize your letter. The name of the manager you’re hiring if possible, and tailor the letter to the specific job and the company you’re applying to.

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

  1. Use a sample. Every cover letter must be unique and tailored to the specific position and company you’re applying for.
  2. Do not exceed one page. Keep the letter concise and straight to the essence.

  4. Don’t forget to proofread. Double-check for spelling and grammar mistakes prior to sending the letter.

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.
