Five rules for a stronger cover letter
These rules matter more than trying to sound impressive or copying a polished sample unchanged.
Target one vacancy
Use the exact role title and tailor the evidence to the actual job rather than sending the same letter everywhere.
Lead with fit, not biography
Open with the target role, your current level and one or two relevant signals instead of a long personal introduction.
Prove claims with evidence
Use projects, internships, responsibilities or verified results to show where a skill came from.
Do not duplicate the resume
Select only the evidence that helps explain why you fit this vacancy; the resume already carries the full structured history.
Never let AI invent facts
Do not fabricate employers, projects, metrics, certifications, tools or responsibilities. Edit every generated draft before sending.
