Recruiters skim cover letters in under a minute, so the winning formula is short, specific, and mirrored to the ad: one reason you want this job at this company (paragraph 1), one concrete proof you can do it (paragraph 2), and the practical qualities they asked for (paragraph 3). The single biggest upgrade is replacing claims with evidence — "increased weekend sales by keeping popular lines stocked" beats "I am a motivated team player" every time. The builder adds the formal furniture — date, addresses, subject line, sign-off — so your energy goes into the three paragraphs that matter.
Pair the letter with a clean resume from our Resume Builder, and keep your applications and their deadlines visible in the Assignment Tracker — job hunting is deadline management too.
How long should a cover letter be?
Three short paragraphs — 250–350 words — on one page. Length signals padding, not enthusiasm; specificity signals fit.
Who do I address it to?
A named person if the ad or company site gives one; otherwise "Dear Hiring Manager" is correct and the builder uses it automatically when you leave the field blank.
Should I customise the letter for every job?
Yes — paragraph 1 and the ad-matching words in paragraph 2 at minimum. Identical letters read as identical letters, and they're the first cut.
What if I have no experience yet?
Use school, volunteering, sport and family-business examples as evidence of the same qualities: reliability, teamwork, handling customers, showing up. Everyone's first job letter is built from these.
Is my information private?
Completely — the letter is built in your browser and never stored or transmitted. Closing the tab erases it, so print or save the PDF first.
