Different situations call for different openings. Find the structure that fits yours below. Each one says which generator settings get you closest and which sentences you still have to write yourself.
The dependable structure: a specific opening, a paragraph on the skills you bring, one or two relevant achievements, and a confident close. Works for nearly any advertised role.
In the generator: This is the shape the generator writes by default. Set Tone to Professional and put your results in the achievements box.
Frames your transferable skills and explains your motivation for the move, turning a non-linear path into a deliberate story.
In the generator: There is no career-change setting. Generate the draft with your transferable skills listed, then add the sentence explaining why you are switching — the tool cannot know that.
Leans on education, projects, internships, and enthusiasm when you do not yet have years of experience to point to.
In the generator: Set Experience level to Entry level and the first body paragraph changes to match. Put coursework, projects, and internships in the achievements box.
Opens by naming your mutual connection — one of the strongest possible first lines — then makes your case briefly.
In the generator: The generator never mentions a connection, because it has no field for one. Generate the draft, then replace the first sentence with the referral yourself.
Reaches out to a company you admire even without an open role, leading with the specific value you could add.
In the generator: Every opening the generator writes assumes an advertised role. Use it for the body and the close, then rewrite the opening paragraph for a cold approach.
Foregrounds genuine excitement about the organization’s mission, suited to nonprofits, startups, and purpose-driven employers.
In the generator: Set Tone to Enthusiastic for the warmth. The specific sentence about their mission has to come from you — the tool knows nothing about the organization.
Almost every effective cover letter does four things: opens with a specific reason for interest in this role and company, connects one or two of your achievements to what they need, shows you understand their situation, and closes with a confident next step. The structures above are variations on that spine for different circumstances.
The cover letter generator gives you the spine: fill in the role, company, skills, and achievements, pick a tone and an experience level, and it returns an editable draft in that shape. Pasting the job description also surfaces its most frequent terms and works a few into one sentence. What it cannot supply is the specific part — why this company, what you noticed about them, who sent you. Write that yourself over the top of the draft.
Every tool is free, runs in your browser, and needs no account. Start with the resume builder or jump straight to a cover letter.
