Cover Letter Builder

You answer seven short questions: your name, the role, the company, the hiring manager (optional), your one killer achievement, two or three strengths, and one honest reason why you want this company. The engine assembles a complete four-beat letter — hook, evidence, bridge, close — in your chosen tone. You can edit every word of the result before copying or downloading it as a .txt file.

Professional is the safe default for banks, government, large corporates and any formal application. Confident works for startups, agencies and sales-type roles where decisiveness is valued — it opens with "I have already solved the problems you are hiring to solve" energy. Friendly suits design, media and culture-first companies, but only use it when the job posting itself sounds casual. When in doubt, go professional; nobody rejects a letter for being too polished.

One specific, quantified win: "led a payments dashboard redesign that lifted activation 23% and cut support tickets 31%". This becomes the evidence beat of your letter — the part hiring managers remember. Use the same achievement you would defend in an interview, because a good interviewer will ask about exactly this line. If you need help finding and sharpening it, run your resume bullets through our Bullet Analyzer first.

Under 250 words — the builder shows a live word count to keep you honest. Recruiters skim letters in seconds, and a one-page letter with four tight paragraphs (hook, evidence, bridge, close) outperforms long letters every time. If your generated letter feels long, cut adjectives and repeat phrases first; keep the achievement and the why-this-company lines intact.

Yes — the output lands in an editable textarea. Change any wording, reorder paragraphs, or drop the tone up or down. Two things worth personalizing before sending: the opening line (reference something specific about the company) and the closing (add your availability). The letter downloads as a clean .txt you can paste into an email body or a document.

Leave the field empty — the letter defaults to "Dear Hiring Team," which is the modern safe choice. Avoid the outdated "To Whom It May Concern"; it reads as impersonal and signals you did not research the company. If the job posting or LinkedIn reveals the actual manager, use their name with the correct title (Ms./Mr./Mx. or just first name for startups) — a named greeting measurably increases response rates.

No. Everything — your inputs, the generated letter, your edits — stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server and nothing persists after you close the page. You can safely draft letters for confidential job searches at work or on shared computers.
