How it works

How to write a cover letter that gets read

Enter the job title and company, plus the hiring manager's name if you know it. A named greeting stands out.

Add your current role, years of experience, up to four key skills from the advert and your best achievements, with numbers. Say in a sentence why this company appeals to you.

Choose a tone and the letter's language, try Another version for a different opening, then edit the text freely. Copy it into an application form or download a polished PDF or Word file.

FAQ

Common questions

How long should a cover letter be?

Around 250 to 400 words, on one page. Hiring managers skim, so lead with the role, back up your claims with results and finish with a clear next step.

Is the letter written by AI?

No. It's assembled from carefully written phrases and your own details, entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to us or to an AI service, and you can edit every word.

Do I still need a cover letter?

Often, yes. Many employers read them to judge motivation and writing, and a tailored letter helps when you're changing careers or explaining a gap.

Which tone should I choose?

Formal suits traditional sectors such as law, finance and the public sector. Friendly works for startups and creative roles. Confident suits sales and leadership roles where impact matters most.
