When it comes to the process of applying for a job well-written resumes and cover letter are crucial. However, simply having good content doesn’t suffice. The structure for your resume is just as important as the content itself. A poorly formatted cover letter can make a bad impression on the hiring manager and a properly formatted one will make your company stand out from the competition.

  3. Do include proper spacing. Choose single line or 1.15 line spacing. Also, ensure that you leave plenty of white space to make your letter easily read.

  5. Do personalize the letter. Include the name of the hiring manager if possible, and tailor the letter to the specific job and the company you’re applying to.

I had Tanja write my personalised cover letter and resume, I cannot fault their quality and I'm hugely impressed it was worth every dollar. I'm just trying to make a career change and I feel this resume and cover letter were the missing link between me getting an interview or missing out. So well done to the team at Perth resumes and a personal shout out to Tanja.
