Use the same font as your resume.
If the address is not provided, find the employer’s address online.
If you do not have a contact name, you can address the letter to Human Resources, the Hiring Manager or leave it blank.
Unless otherwise directed, the Cover Letter should be a maximum of one page in length.
Always have someone else proof read your Cover Letter.
