How to use the Cover Letter Builder
Generic letters are deleted in seconds. The builder weaves the company name and role into the opening and closing so it reads like it was written for this job — because it was.
Write short evidence phrases (“led a team of 5”, “cut costs 12%”) instead of “hard-working” or “passionate”. Proof beats praise.
Classic for finance/law/enterprise; Warm for startups, education and NGOs; Direct for high-volume applications where brevity wins.
Copy the text into web forms or print to PDF and attach with a tidy filename. Always reread once before sending — the final line is your name.
Length: 3–4 short paragraphs
Hiring managers scan, they don’t read. Three tight paragraphs (why you’re excited, why you fit, one proof point) beat a full page of prose.
Mirror the job description’s words
Repeat two or three exact terms from the job ad (“agile delivery”, “stakeholder management”). It helps both human and automated screening.
Never invent facts
Every number and claim must be true and verifiable. Recruiters do check. If a metric feels weak, describe the work process instead.
