Most cover letters fail for the same reason. They describe the writer in general terms and never answer the question the posting is really asking, which is why this person, for this job, now. A generator that only rewrites your resume into prose repeats the mistake in better English.
This one starts from the posting. You paste the advert and your own background, and the letter is built around the requirements the advert names, in the order it names them, using only the experience you entered. It does not invent an employer, a date or a number.
You get three paragraphs that a hiring manager can read in under a minute: what you do now and why this role follows from it, the two pieces of evidence closest to what the posting asks for, and a plain closing line. You can edit every word before you send it.
Generating a letter is a Pro feature, because a model writes it. What is free after you sign in is the ATS score on your resume and the list of what is missing from it.
A cover letter gets between thirty seconds and a minute, and often less. In that time the reader is answering one question: does this person understand what we asked for, and can they show it. Everything that does not serve that question is costing you the attention you needed for the part that does.
That is why the standard opening fails. "I am writing to apply for the position of X, which I saw advertised on Y" tells the reader something they already know, in the two lines they are most likely to actually read. Start with the answer instead: what you do now, and the reason it lines up with what the advert asks for.
The middle is evidence, not enthusiasm. Two specifics, chosen because they map onto the requirements the advert listed first, each with an outcome attached. A sentence about how passionate you are carries no information; a sentence about the thing you built and what changed does.
The close is short. You are available, you would like to talk, and here is how to reach you. No paragraph about how the company’s values resonate with you unless you can name the specific thing you mean and why it changes what you would do in the job.
Three paragraphs, roughly 200 to 300 words, on one page. Any longer and it stops being read; any shorter and it stops saying anything.
A letter earns its place when the application needs a sentence that a CV cannot carry. Changing industry, explaining a gap, applying from another country, or applying to a small employer where a person rather than a system opens the file. In those cases it does real work.
It matters less on a large employer’s portal where the form asks for one because the form always asks for one, and where the CV carries almost all of the weight. Write it, keep it short, and put your effort into the CV.
Never skip it when the advert explicitly asks for one. Some employers use it as a first filter precisely because a missing letter is easy to check and tells them something about how carefully the applicant read the advert.
One letter per application. A letter that could be sent to three companies without editing is a letter that says nothing about any of them, and it reads that way.
A model is good at structure, at turning the requirements in an advert into an order of argument, and at getting you off a blank page. Those are real problems and they are where most people stall.
A model is bad at knowing what you actually did. Every number, employer and date in the draft comes from what you entered, and nothing is generated to fill a gap. If a claim in the draft is not true, it is because it was in your input, and it has to come out before you send it.
The draft is also not your voice yet. Read it aloud once. Anywhere it sounds like a brochure, rewrite that sentence in the words you would use to describe the job to a friend. That single pass is the difference between a letter that reads as written by a person and one that does not.
Generating a letter is a Pro feature, because a model writes it. The ATS score on your CV and the gap list against a posting are free once you sign in.
No. Anything a model writes is Pro, at $16.99 a month or $99 a year. The ATS score on your resume and the gap list are free once you sign in.
They will if you send the draft unedited, because a generic letter reads generic whoever wrote it. The draft exists so you start from the posting rather than a blank page. Change the wording to yours before you send it.
Three short paragraphs, around 200 to 300 words, on one page. Recruiters read the first two lines and skim the rest, so the reason you are a fit belongs at the top and not in a build-up.
They matter when the posting asks for one, when you are changing field, and when something in your history needs a sentence of context. For a straightforward application to a large employer, the resume carries most of the weight.
Use the name if the posting or the company page gives you one. If not, use the team or the role, for example Dear Hiring Team. Avoid To Whom It May Concern, it reads like a form letter because it is one.
No. The resume lists what you did. The letter picks the two things closest to this posting and says what they mean for this employer. If a paragraph could be cut and pasted into another application unchanged, it is not doing anything.
Sign in, paste the posting, and get a draft written against it. Generating the letter is Pro; the ATS score on your resume is free.
