🎯 Avoid Re-Listing Your Resume
The biggest cover letter mistake is restating work history chronologically. A compelling cover letter answers two specific questions: (1) Why this exact company? and (2) What specific metric-backed problem will you solve in your first 90 days? Keep it concise: 3 to 4 punchy paragraphs under 350 words.

Generic cover letters that repeat resume bullet points are instantly discarded by hiring managers. A tailored business letter structured around a company's specific growth challenges demonstrates executive communication skills and intentionality.

Common questions
Should a cover letter always be included with a job application?
Yes! Even when marked 'optional', including a tailored cover letter sets you apart from 80% of applicants who only submit raw resumes, providing context on career transitions and unique achievements.
How long should a cover letter be?
Keep it between 250 and 350 words across 3 to 4 focused paragraphs. Busy executives rarely read letters longer than a single page.
How do I save the letter as a PDF?
Click 'Print / Save as PDF'. In the system print dialog, choose 'Save as PDF'. The styling automatically hides buttons and web navigation, leaving a clean business letter.
Is my job application text private?
Yes. All letter synthesis and formatting is generated locally in your web browser memory with zero tracking or server-side logging.
