A practical guide
How to create a tailored cover letter
A strong cover letter connects your experience to the role instead of repeating your resume. Use the generator to prepare a draft, then personalize it for the employer.
1. Start with your resume
Upload a PDF or DOCX resume so the draft can draw on the work history, skills, education, and achievements you have provided.
2. Add the job description
Include the job title, company, and full job description. Highlight requirements that genuinely match your background, and do not add skills or experience you do not have.
3. Review and personalize
Edit the draft to sound like you, check names and details, and make sure each claim is accurate before sending it with your application.
