Always remember—give your cover letter an effective and comprehensive
design! That cover letter of yours might just be your ticket to landing that
dream job.
One of the key factors in a good cover letter is a clear and functional
design. Since most cover letters are scanned for about 10-30 seconds, it's
important that you place all the information in a well-organized structure. To
achieve this, use a simple, yet professional font (e.g. Calibri or Sans Serif) Choose a font size between 11 and 12 and
use italic and/or bold font styles to help guide the reader's eyes along the cover
letter. Using graphics and bullets will effectively highlight the key parts of
your cover letter. And lastly, use headings and subheadings to give your cover
letter a logical format that can be easily followed.
