About this tool

How to structure a cover letter

A strong cover letter is short, usually three or four paragraphs. Open with the role you are applying for and a clear reason you want it. Then give one or two specific achievements that prove you can do the job, ideally with numbers. Follow with why this particular company appeals to you, and close by inviting a conversation.

The starter text gives you that structure, but the details must be yours. Hiring managers read many letters, and the ones that stand out mention real results and something genuine about the company rather than generic praise.
