One key factor in making a cover letter effective is how well you create its overall layout and design. Most resumes are just scanned for 10-30 seconds—it doesn’t get a full reading the first time through. So all of your qualifications must be presented within a well-organized layout. To create this, select a professional font like Serif or Sans Serif, choose font a size between 11 and, and effectively apply bold/italic font faces to help guide the reader along with your resume. Make good use of symbols, graphics, and bullets to give emphasis to the key parts of your cover letter that need to be highlighted. Lastly, give your resume a logical format by using wide-margins, headings, and subheadings.
