Cover Letter AI

Need some help getting started with a cover letter? Upload your resume and job description in Cover Letter AI to generate a first draft of your letter. Be sure to review, personalize and enhance this generated letter BEFORE sending it to an employer.

Personalization Is Required:

  • Review, edit, and rewrite the content so it reflects your unique voice, experience, and research. Use the “Tips to Personalize and Strengthen Your Cover Letter” as a guide.

Why It Matters:

  • Competitive Advantage: Personalized cover letters stand out to recruiters.
  • Detection: Some employers use AI-detection software and may reject or de-prioritize application content identified as AI-generated or viewed as lacking a personal voice.

Check Employer Requirements:

  • Some employers specifically prohibit the submission of AI-generated materials. Always read the job posting carefully and follow the application instructions.
  • Proofread all AI-generated content before submitting.
  • Verify all information is accurate including the company name, job title, and any requirements mentioned in the job description, as well as your own skills, competencies and accomplishments.
  • Reflect your voice. Make sure the letter sounds authentic and maintains a consistent tone.
  • Review the job description and confirm that your letter clearly highlights how your skills and experience meet the job or internship requirements.
  • Avoid generic statements. Provide concrete examples to illustrate your skills and experience, and quantify your achievements using numbers or percentages when possible.
  • Incorporate your research on the company and reference its mission and core values. Indicate why you are interested in this specific organization/company and position.
  • Ensure the letter follows standard business letter format for a professional, polished document.
