Common Questions

Do I really need a cover letter?

For competitive positions, yes. 45% of recruiters reject candidates without cover letters. They demonstrate writing skills, cultural fit, and genuine interest. Skip them for high-volume applications (retail, food service) where speed matters more than personalization.

How long should my cover letter be?

3-4 paragraphs, max one page. Intro (why you're applying), body (2 relevant achievements matching job requirements), close (enthusiasm + call to action). Hiring managers spend 30 seconds on cover letters—be concise and impactful.

Should I use the same cover letter for every job?

No. Customize at minimum: company name, position title, and 1-2 skills/experiences matching the job description. Generic letters are obvious and get rejected. Use our builder as a starting template, then personalize for each application.
