Do you put your cover letter on resume paper?

Your cover letter and resume paper should match and should be white or off-white smooth paper, sized 8.5 x 11. Avoid glossy or coarse textures that can cause scanners to misread. Don’t use colored paper especially blue, green, or gray, which may scan in as shades of gray that obscure your letter’s text.

What format should a cover letter be in?

The first paragraph of your letter should include information on why you are writing. Mention the position you are applying for and where you found the job listing. Include the name of a mutual contact, if you have one. The next section of your cover letter should describe what you have to offer the employer.
