How to tailor a cover letter to a job
Read the job description carefully. Identify key requirements, then show how your background aligns using concrete examples you actually have. Avoid copying large sections of the vacancy. Focus on relevance and evidence.
Common cover letter mistakes
- Using the same letter for every application
- Repeating the CV without adding context or motivation
- Making claims that cannot be supported by experience
- Overly long or overly vague writing
- Addressing the wrong company or role
Tips for graduates
Emphasise education, projects, internships, volunteer work, and transferable skills. Explain why the role interests you. Keep the tone professional yet approachable. A concise letter often works better than a lengthy one.
Tips for experienced professionals
Lead with relevant achievements and the value you can bring. Connect past results to the needs of the new role. Keep the focus on impact rather than a full career history.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cover letter?
A cover letter is a professional document that accompanies your CV when applying for a job. It introduces you, explains your interest in the role and organisation, and highlights relevant experience and skills.
How long should a cover letter be?
Most effective cover letters are between half a page and one full page (roughly 250–400 words). Concise letters suit many roles; more detailed letters may suit senior or academic applications.
Should I customise my cover letter for every job?
Yes. Tailoring shows genuine interest and helps demonstrate how your background matches the specific requirements. Generic letters are usually less effective.
What should I include in a cover letter?
Include your contact details, the role you are applying for, relevant experience and skills, clear reasons for interest in the organisation, and a professional closing. Only include information you can support.
Can I use the generated cover letter for multiple applications?
You can reuse structure and core content, but you should adapt the letter for each role and organisation. A tailored letter is more persuasive than an identical one sent everywhere.
Should I include the hiring manager’s name?
Yes, when you know it. If the name is not available, a professional greeting such as “Dear Hiring Manager,” is appropriate. Do not invent a name.
Can I save the cover letter as a PDF?
Yes. Click “Print / Save as PDF”, then choose “Save as PDF” in your browser’s print dialog. The layout is designed for standard A4 paper.
Does the generator invent information?
No. The generator only uses the details you supply. It does not invent employment history, qualifications, achievements, or other claims.
Is my information stored?
Your data remains in your browser. You can optionally save a draft locally. Nothing is transmitted to our servers for generation or storage.
Is a cover letter always required?
Not always. Some applications request only a CV or an online form. When a letter is requested or allowed, a clear, tailored cover letter can strengthen your application.
