About the Cover Letter Builder

Cover Letter Builder gives you a structured starting point for a job application letter. Pick a template for a general application, an entry-level role or a career change — or start from a blank page — and edit the opening, body and closing to fit the job.

Your contact details, the employer and hiring manager, the job title and the date are filled in around your text, and the live preview shows the finished letter. The templates are fixed starter texts: there is no AI writing, and every word in the PDF is what you see in the form.

  3. Add the employer, hiring manager and the job title you are applying for.

  5. Complete the sign-off and click Download PDF.
