Cover letter generator

A cover letter from your resume, for this job.

A good cover letter picks the two or three things in your resume this job cares about most and says them plainly. This writes about 250 words from your own resume and the job description, in the tone you choose, and lists anything the job asks for that your resume does not show, so you can address it or leave it out.

About 250 words. Every claim comes from your resume, and anything the job asks for that your resume does not show is listed for you, never invented.

How to use it

Three steps.

  1. Step 1

    Paste the job

    The full description, and the company name if you have it.

  2. Step 2

    Use your resume

    Your saved resume is used, or paste the text.

  3. Step 3

    Read and send

    Check every line, fix anything that is not quite you, and send.

How it works

  • It needs a free account because it reads your whole resume: the letter can only say what the resume shows.
  • It uses at most three matches between the resume and the job, and skips the clichés ("I am writing to apply").
  • The job's asks that your resume does not show are listed beside the letter, never written into it.

What it will not do

Claim a skill or result that is not in your resume.

Send anything on your behalf.

Write the same letter twice: each one is for one job.

Questions, answered plainly.

Do Indian employers still read cover letters?

Many applications through job portals do not ask for one, but company careers pages, startups and roles abroad often do, and a short, specific letter helps when a recruiter is deciding between close candidates.

Why does it need an account?

It writes from your whole resume, so the letter can only say what your resume shows. With an account it uses the resume you saved; you can also paste the text.

How long is the letter?

About 200 to 280 words: long enough to make three points, short enough to be read.

What if the job asks for something my resume does not show?

It is listed next to the letter and left out of it. You can address it in your own words, or leave it out.
