AI Cover Letter Generator: Written From Your Resume and the Job

CareerGenius writes a cover letter for one job from two things: the job posting and your resume for that job. Every sentence is checked against your resume before you see it, so the letter doesn't claim experience you haven't shown.

Write my cover letter

Start by pasting the job link. Free to start, no credit card required; downloading the letter as a file needs Premium.

How the cover letter generator works

  1. Add the job. Paste the job link, or the posting text if the link can't be read.
  2. Your resume for this job. The letter is written from your resume for that job: the tailored version if you have tailored it, otherwise the resume you uploaded.
  3. The letter is written and checked. AI writes a cover letter (or a shorter hiring manager letter) that connects your real experience to what the posting asks for. Each sentence is checked against your resume: added years, numbers, tools, employers, titles or praise your resume doesn't show are taken out or put back into your resume's words, and the page tells you what changed.
  4. You edit and send it. Change anything you like, then copy the text or download the letter.

What a good cover letter does

  • Names the job and why you fit, in the first lines. The reader should know which role and what experience in two sentences.
  • Answers two or three things the posting asks for with work you have really done, in the posting's words.
  • Says why this employer, with something true and specific, not "your company's reputation".
  • Stays short. Under a page; often three or four paragraphs.
  • Claims nothing you can't back up. No invented numbers, and no "expert" for a tool you have used twice.

Questions

Is the cover letter generator free?

Writing a letter, editing it and copying the text are free to start, with no credit card required. Downloading the letter as a file needs Premium.

Will it make things up?

It is told to write only from your resume, and then it is checked. A sentence that adds years, numbers, tools, employers, a promotion or a skill your resume doesn't show is taken out or put back into your resume's own words, and the page lists what changed. Read the letter before you send it anyway.

Can I edit the letter?

Yes. The letter opens in an editor; change anything, then copy it or download it.

What is a hiring manager letter?

A shorter note addressed to the person who will manage the role, for when you can email them directly. You can switch between the two letters for the same job.

Should I send a cover letter if it says optional?

If you have a reason this job fits you that your resume does not say on its own, yes. Keep it short and specific to the posting.
