Hiring companies use applicant tracking systems or ATS to scan resumes and cover letters for specific keywords.

We designed our Cover Letter Generator to be ATS-friendly by using readable fonts, classic design principles and an accepted cover letter format.

What should a good cover letter include?

A strong, well-written cover letter comprises five key sections:

  • Header: The header of your cover letter contains your contact information, including your telephone number, professional email address and links to your LinkedIn profile, personal website or online portfolio, if applicable.
  • Greeting: Research to find out the hiring manager’s name and address your cover letter to that person. In a pinch, find the name of someone in the recruiting department and address your letter to that person. Avoid generic greetings, such as “To Whom It May Concern.”
  • Opening paragraph: The opening paragraph of your letter should mention the name of the company and the job title to which you are applying. It should also briefly mention why you are applying for the job.
  • Body paragraph(s): Expand on the most relevant parts of your experience or education in two to three paragraphs. If you have work experience, use data and metrics in this section to show recruiters the impact your work has had.
  • Closing paragraph: Your closing paragraph should briefly summarize the contents of your letter and reiterate your enthusiasm for the role.
