Get the most impact from your cover with proper format. Letter Format

Posted by Sale Resume on 26 Mar 2026

When applying for a job, an impressive resume and cover letter is essential. But, having good content isn’t enough. The design of your cover letter is as important as your content. A badly formatted cover letter can make a bad impression on the hiring manager and a properly formatted one can make your company stand out from the crowd. In this article, we’ll discuss the rules and guidelines for the format of your cover letters, and then discuss why it could be beneficial to let a professional like Sale Resume handle the formatting for you.

The first thing to discuss is the essentials of cover letter formatting.

  1. Do use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial, and Calibri are all good options. Avoid using fancy fonts or difficult to read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font size, and layout across the entire cover letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Use single or 1.15 line spacing. Also, make sure you leave sufficient white space in between the paragraphs to make the letter easy to read.
  4. Include your contact information on the front of your letter. This should include your address, name as well as your phone number and email.
  5. Make sure to personalize your letter. Include the name of the hiring manager If you can, and tailor the letter to the particular job and the company that you’re applying for.

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

  1. Don’t use a template. Every cover letter must be unique and customized to the specific position and company you’re applying to.
  2. Do not exceed one page. Keep your letter short and straight to the essence.
  3. Don’t use overly fancy formatting. Stick to a simple, professional layout.
  4. Do not forget to proofread. Double-check grammar and spelling errors before sending the letter.
  5. Make sure to acknowledge the note.
