Make the most of your impact with a well-designed cover Letter Format

Posted by Armidale Resume on 12 Jun 2026

If you’re applying for jobs, a well-written resume and cover letter are essential. However, just having great content isn’t enough. The structure for your resume is just as important as the content itself. A poorly formatted cover letter will leave a negative impression on your hiring manager, while a well-formatted one can help you stand out among the other applicants. In this article, we’ll go over the rules and guidelines for cover letter formatting, and then discuss why it could be beneficial to let a professional like Armidale Resume handle the formatting for you.

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

  1. Make sure you use a professional font. Times New Roman, Arial as well as Calibri are all excellent choices. Avoid using too extravagant or difficult to read fonts.
  2. Do use a consistent layout. Use the same font font size, and formatting throughout the cover letter.
  3. Do include proper spacing. Utilize single, or 1.15 line spacing. Also, make sure you leave sufficient white space in between the paragraphs to make your letter simple to comprehend.
  4. Include your contact information in the upper right-hand corner of the email. This should include your address, name, phone number, and email address.
  5. Do personalize the letter. Make use of the name of the hiring manager if possible, and tailor the letter to the particular position and company you’re applying to.

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

  1. Use a sample. Every cover letter must be unique and tailored to the specific job and business you’re applying to.
  2. Don’t exceed one page. Keep the letter brief and straight to the main point.
  3. Don’t use overly fancy formatting. Choose a simple, professional layout.
  4. Do not forget to proofread. Double-check grammar and spelling errors before sending the letter.
  5. Don’t forget to sign the note.
