How to Use the Cover Letter Generator

A guide to the Cover Letter Generator: fill a few fields, get a complete draft with a completion meter before you send it.

The generator builds a complete draft from short fields: your details, the target role, the company, and two or three strengths worth leading with. A completion meter tracks you as you type so you cannot send a half-finished letter, and the output comes dated and formatted.

The steps

  1. Open the tool and fill the sender fields: name, email, phone
  2. Enter the job title and company name exactly as they appear in the advert
  3. Write two or three strengths tied directly to what the role asks for
  4. Watch the completion meter fill, then hit generate
  5. Copy the text into your email or document and replace every bracketed placeholder

Practical tips

  • Tailor each letter; a generic one is read quickly and forgotten quickly
  • Keep it to one page and give a specific reason for writing to this company
  • Match the font and layout of your CV so the two read as one application

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Sending the draft with placeholders like your name or email still in brackets
  • Restating the CV line by line instead of adding context the CV cannot carry

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the AI cover letter generator?

This one assembles the letter from structured fields, so you get a stable structure and a completion meter. The AI version writes free text from your CV and the job advert and lets you pick a tone.

Do I need a cover letter for every application?

If the advert asks for one, it is required. If not, send one when you can connect your experience to a real problem the company has — then it adds something rather than repeating the CV.
