What to Hit

Writing a good cover letter is probably one of the best strategies any job applicant can have whether they have a strong resume or otherwise. To ensure that you will be able to write a good and standout cover letter, you need to make sure that you are able to properly hit what a cover letter is meant for. Cover letters are meant to

• let the employer know who you are,
• inform the employer why you are considered to be the right person for the job,
• cover items that your resumes may miss, and
• explain what your resume has mentioned better.

 

If you are able to hit all of these four, then it would definitely be easier for employers to consider you as their next employee.

Formatting the Cover Letter

You may think that only the content of your cover letter matters. However, you should also consider how to format your cover letter. Aesthetics are just as important as the content. Nobody wants to read a cover letter that looks too tight and has a tiny font size. So here are a few tips to making your cover letter look great.

• Your margins should preferably be one-inch on all sides. However, you can be flexible with the margin, especially since your cover letter only needs to be one-page long.
• Keep your font size between 10–12. Any smaller than 10 can give the reader an eye strain.
• Choose a font style that is professional-looking. The font style you are going to use all depends on your preference. However, make sure to not use comic-looking styles for a professional letter.
• Use a block style that is aligned to the left. Keep everything to the left as it looks better and more uniform.
