FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know

Got questions? We've got answers about our cover letter builder

A cover letter is a one-page document sent alongside your resume that introduces you to a potential employer. It highlights your qualifications, explains your interest in the role, and demonstrates why you're the ideal candidate.

A cover letter should be one page or less — ideally 250 to 400 words. Focus on your most relevant achievements and tailor every sentence to the specific job you're applying for.

Yes, whenever possible. A strong, tailored cover letter can significantly increase your chances of landing an interview — even when the job posting says it's optional.

Absolutely. While not always mandatory, recruiters and hiring managers strongly prefer them. A cover letter shows fit, intent, and communication quality — things a resume alone can't convey.

Keep it to one page, use ATS-friendly formatting, include relevant keywords from the job description, and clearly explain why you're a strong fit for both the role and the company culture.

No — using a generic cover letter is one of the biggest mistakes applicants make. Always customize your letter for each job description and company to show genuine interest and relevance.

An ATS-friendly cover letter uses relevant keywords from the job posting, avoids complex formatting like tables or columns, uses standard fonts, and follows a clear section-based structure.
