Free drafting tool

Cover letter generator

Create a clear starting point, then make it truthful and specific to the vacancy before sending it.

Your draft

Add a job title to generate a starting draft.

For a vacancy-specific draft that uses the job requirements, open a job, select Apply, and edit the cover letter provided in the application flow.

How to use this tool

Use the cover letter generator as practical guidance

A cover letter should add context that the CV cannot show quickly: why this role interests you and which two or three real examples make you relevant. This tool creates a starting structure; it should never be the final version without your review.

The best letter is short, factual and clearly matched to the vacancy. If the employer does not request a cover letter, follow the advert rather than attaching extra material.

STEP 1

Read the vacancy first

Note the job title, reference number, employer and two duties or requirements that match your actual background.

STEP 2

Add only real evidence

Describe a project, duty or responsibility you completed. Avoid broad claims such as “hardworking” without an example.

STEP 3

Edit before sending

Check the employer name, job title, reference, recipient and application instructions before you attach the letter.

Important limits

  • • A generated draft is not proof of suitability and cannot replace a required application form.
  • • Do not claim a qualification, reference or achievement you cannot support.
  • • Use the official submission route and document instructions in the advert.

How long should it be?

Usually a short page or less is enough when it directly answers the vacancy.

Do I need one for every job?

Only when requested or when it adds useful, vacancy-specific context beyond your CV.
