Miscellaneous tips:

  • Keep the formatting and font simple. Extravagant fonts look unprofessional and can take away from your overall message.
  • Don't include a picture unless requested in the job ad
  • Keep it to 1-2 pages, especially if you have just left school, in which case you most likely wouldn't have enough experience to fill up more pages.
  • Keep dot points short and sharp - you have a cover letter for a reason.
