WHY USE A COVER LETTER?

Give the employer more than a list of skills

Your CV shows what you have done. Your cover letter explains why you are interested in the role and how your experience connects with the position.

Introduce yourself

A cover letter gives the hiring manager a quick introduction before they review your full application.

Show your interest

Explain why the particular position interests you instead of sending the same message to every company.

Connect your experience

Choose a few relevant skills or achievements and connect them directly to the job.

Finish professionally

A clear closing makes it easy for the employer to understand that you want to continue the conversation.

COVER LETTER BASICS

What is a cover letter?

A cover letter is a short document sent with your CV or resume when you apply for a job. It introduces you to the employer and explains why you are interested in the position.

Your CV contains facts about your education, experience and skills. Your cover letter puts those details into context and explains how your background relates to the job.

A good cover letter does not need to repeat your entire CV. It focuses on the parts of your experience that matter most for the position.

Keep it relevant.

The best cover letters are written for the specific job rather than copied to every employer.

WRITING GUIDE

How to write a good cover letter

You do not need complicated language to write a strong cover letter. The most important thing is to make the message relevant to the position.

Start with the position

Tell the employer which position you are applying for and, when useful, where you found the vacancy.

Talk about relevant experience

Choose experience that actually relates to the job. You do not need to mention every responsibility from previous roles.

Give a real reason

Explain why this particular role or company interests you. Avoid generic statements.

Finish clearly

Thank the employer and let them know you would be happy to discuss your application further.

BEFORE YOU SEND IT

Common cover letter mistakes

A professional design cannot fix a letter that contains obvious mistakes. Take a few minutes to check these common problems.

Sending the same letter everywhere

Change your message to match the position and company instead of using exactly the same letter for every application.

Repeating the entire CV

Your cover letter should add context rather than copy every section of your CV.

Making it too long

Keep your writing focused. Remove information that does not help explain your suitability for the role.

Forgetting company details

Always check the employer name, position title and recipient information before sending the document.

CV VS COVER LETTER

What is the difference between a CV and a cover letter?

CV / Resume

Cover Letter

Lists your education and work experience.

Explains why you are applying for the role.

Shows your skills and qualifications.

Connects your skills to the specific job.

Gives an overview of your career.

Gives more context about your application.

Usually follows a structured format.

Uses paragraphs to communicate your interest and suitability.

COMPLETE APPLICATION

Your CV and cover letter should work together

Your CV gives the employer the facts about your professional background. Your cover letter explains the story behind those facts.

Keep information consistent between both documents — job titles, company names, dates and contact details should match.

FAQ

Cover letter questions

Here are answers to some common questions about creating and using a cover letter.

What is a cover letter?

A cover letter is a short document sent with a CV or resume that introduces you to the employer and explains why you are interested in a particular position.

Do I need a cover letter for every job?

Not every employer requires one. If the job advert asks for a cover letter, provide one. Even when optional, a relevant cover letter gives extra space to explain your interest and experience.

How long should a cover letter be?

Keep it focused and easy to read. In most situations, one page is enough to introduce yourself, explain relevant experience and finish with a professional closing.

Should my cover letter repeat my CV?

No. You can mention important experience from your CV, but use the cover letter to explain why that experience is relevant to the position.

Can I download my cover letter as a PDF?

Yes. After entering your information and reviewing your content, use the Create Cover Letter PDF button to generate your document.

Can I change the cover letter colour?

Yes. Use the colour selector in the template header to change the accent colour before creating your PDF.
