AI Cover Letters

How It Works​

Tips for Great Cover Letters​

Do's​

Address Gaps Proactively

If the match analysis shows you're missing something, address it: "While I haven't used [Tool] specifically, my experience with [Similar Tool] makes me confident I can quickly get up to speed."

Show Enthusiasm

Generic interest kills applications. Be specific about why you want THIS job at THIS company.

Use Numbers

Quantified accomplishments stand out: "Increased efficiency by 40%" beats "Improved processes."

Don'ts​

  • Don't just repeat your resume
  • Don't use the same letter for every job
  • Don't include irrelevant personal details
  • Don't make it too long (keep it under one page)

Cover Letter Examples​

Strong Opening​

"When I saw [Company] is looking for a Product Manager to lead your mobile team, I immediately thought of the notification system I redesigned at [Previous Company] that increased user engagement by 45%."

Addressing a Gap​

"While the role requests 7 years of experience and I have 5, I've consistently taken on senior-level responsibilities including mentoring junior developers and leading our largest client project."

Strong Closing​

"I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience scaling analytics platforms could help [Company] achieve its goal of becoming the industry leader in data visualization."

Frequently Asked Questions​

Can I use the cover letter as-is?​

The AI creates a solid draft, but we recommend:

  • Reading it thoroughly
  • Adding personal touches
  • Checking for accuracy
  • Making it sound like you

What if I don't like the result?​

Click Regenerate to get a new version, or provide different instructions. You can also edit any part manually.

Are cover letters still necessary?​

Many jobs don't require them, but a strong cover letter can:

  • Set you apart from other candidates
  • Address concerns before they arise
  • Show genuine interest in the role

When optional, a good cover letter is usually worth the effort for jobs you really want.
