A letter to go with your CV

Cover Letter Builder

Write a letter for the job you want. Start from one of your CVs, paste the job ad to see which of its skills your letter names, and replace the starter paragraphs with your own words.

Your letters stay private. The job ad you paste is never printed or shared.

Why use it?

A letter that goes with your CV and answers the ad in front of you.

  • Made from your CV

    The letter takes the header, design and language of the CV you pick, so the two look like one application.

  • Matched to the ad

    Paste the job ad to see which of the skills it asks for your letter already names.

  • Starter paragraphs

    Opening, evidence, motivation and closing paragraphs to rewrite, with [brackets] where your own words go.

  • Only what is true

    You tick the skills you really have. The ones your CV mentions are ticked for you, and nothing is written in your name without you.

How it works

From the job ad to a letter ready to send

Four steps from the job you want to a letter you can download, send with your CV or share as a link.

  1. Start from a CV

    Pick one of your CVs, your profile or a blank page, and add the position and company if you know them.

  2. Match the job ad

    Paste the ad, see which skills it asks for, tick the ones you have and add a paragraph about them.

  3. Write it in your words

    Replace every [bracket] with your own words, add or reorder paragraphs and watch the A4 page update as you type.

  4. Download or share

    Download a PDF with selectable text, a Word file or plain text for a form, or send a read-only link.

Your letter and your CV, one application

A letter made from a CV stays linked to it and shares its design.
