The job post and your resume

Cover letter generator from your resume and the job post

Three short paragraphs, under 220 words: why this role, two proofs from your resume that match what the post asks for, and a plain close. Nothing gated, no account. The letter is built on facts that are already in your resume, so it never claims a skill you do not have.

Your cover letter

Paste your resume, name the role, tick two lines, then press the button. The letter appears here with the two proofs it used listed at the end.

How it works

1

Paste both texts

Your resume as plain text (or a .txt file) and the job post. The letter quotes the one line in the post that describes the work, so the reader knows you read it.

2

Pick two proofs

Your resume is split into lines. Tick the two that best match this job. They become the middle paragraph, word for word, so nothing is invented.

3

Close with a date

The last paragraph says when you can start: your notice period and whether an early release is possibleyour start date and the shifts you are open to. Copy, print or download, then fill the square brackets.

Two worked examples

Both are made up, with made-up companies. Each middle paragraph is two resume lines, nothing more.

Example 1, made up: customer support executive, warm tone
Post line quoted: "handle chat and email tickets for our payments app and keep first-reply time under one hour" · Proofs ticked: two lines from a made-up resume
Hello Ms. Rao, I am applying for the customer support executive role at Kestrel Pay. The line in your post that made me apply was "handle chat and email tickets for our payments app and keep first-reply time under one hour". That is the work I do now, and I want to do it for a product people trust with money. Here are the two things I have done that fit this best. Handled 60 to 80 chat and email tickets a day for a food-delivery app and kept my first-reply time under 40 minutes for eleven months. And wrote the refund-status macro that the whole team of nine now uses. Both are the kind of work I want more of. My notice period is 30 days, and I can ask for an earlier release. Thank you for reading this far; I would welcome a short call. Best, Nisha Verma

Example 2, made up: data analyst, formal tone
Post line quoted: "build weekly dashboards for the sales team and explain what changed and why" · Proofs ticked: two lines from a made-up resume
Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the data analyst position at Marlow Logistics. The line in your post that describes the work best is "build weekly dashboards for the sales team and explain what changed and why", and that is the part of the job I want most. Two points from my experience are directly relevant. First, built the weekly revenue dashboard in Looker for a 40-person sales team and presented it every Monday for a year. Second, found a pricing error in the export data that had under-billed three accounts, and wrote the check that now runs nightly. I am available to start on 3 November. Thank you for your consideration; I would welcome a short call to take this further. Yours sincerely, Daniel Reyes

Questions people ask

How long should a cover letter be?

Under 220 words, three short paragraphs: why this role, two proofs from your resume that match what the post asks for, and a plain close with when you can start. A hiring manager gives it well under a minute, so the first line has to show you read the post.

Should the cover letter repeat my resume?

No. Pick the two lines from your resume that best match this one job and build the middle paragraph on them. Everything else is already on the resume. A letter that restates the resume tells the reader you did not read their post.

Do I still need a cover letter?

When the application form has a box for it, when the post asks for one, or when you are applying by email, yes. When the form has no box, put the first paragraph in the email body instead. A short, specific letter never hurts; a generic one does.

Is my resume uploaded anywhere?

The fill-in template runs in your browser and nothing leaves it. The "Write my version" button sends your resume text and the job post to our server and one AI provider; the line under the button names the provider and says what it does with your text. We do not keep it. The exact disclosure for the provider in use is printed under the button.
