Most cover letter advice focuses on structure — and structure matters, but it's not what makes a letter forgettable. The generic ones all follow the same shape too ("I am writing to express my interest…") while saying nothing specific about the person or the role. The fix is less about format and more about what you actually put into it.
Steps
- Open Cover Letter Generator and fill in your details, the company and role, and a hiring manager's name if you have one.
- List 2-3 real, specific achievements — the tool structures them into the letter's body.
- Generate and download the PDF, ready to attach to your application.
Structure, handled — content is still yours
A cover letter has a predictable shape for a reason: a greeting, why you want this specific role, a couple of concrete reasons you're a fit, a closing ask. Getting that structure right is mechanical, and a tool can do it reliably. What a tool can't responsibly do is invent your accomplishments — that's exactly why this one asks you to type your own key points rather than generating them, and builds the letter around what you actually provide.
What makes the content specific instead of generic
- Name a real achievement with a number where you can — "reduced page load time by 40%" says more than "improved performance."
- Reference something true about the company or role, not a line that could be pasted into any application unchanged.
- Keep it to one page — a cover letter's job is to earn a closer look at your resume, not to repeat it.
- Use a name when you have one — "Dear Hiring Manager" is a fine fallback, but a real name (even guessed correctly from the company's team page) reads as more considered.
