One major factor that
makes a cover letter good or even perfect, is a clear and comprehensive design.
If it's designed poorly, content won't be understood easily and the likelihood
of your reader losing interest will increase.
No matter how well
written that cover letter of yours is—it won't get a full reading the first
time through! Therefore, you must present all its content in a well-organized
structure. To achieve this, use a
standard, but a professional fonts like
Helvetica or Calibri. Choose a font style between 11 and 12 to lessen clutter,
and selectively apply bold and/or italic font styles to guide the reader's
eyes. Make good use of symbols and graphics to bring attention to the key parts
of your cover letter. And lastly, give your cover letter a logical format by
using headings, subheadings, and white spacing.
