Cover letter writer: how to write a letter using the service

What the service actually does

The interface is a web form with two text fields: 'Source material' and 'Role or characters'. In the first field you paste a description of your experience, and in the second — the job description or job title. Then you select the output language and press the Generate button. The service produces a single result in a separate panel, which you can copy or download as a plain text TXT file.

It is important to understand the limits: the tool does not analyze the market, does not fact-check, and does not know your real achievements. It works only with what you input. If the source material lacks specificity, the letter will be generic. Therefore, the quality of the draft depends directly on the quality of your input.

Example of filling in: in the 'Source material' field — 'Two years in retail, working with a cashier, basic Excel, helping customers on the floor'. In the 'Role or characters' field — 'Electronics store sales consultant'.

Which parts of the task to assign to the service

The service should be entrusted with the raw structure: greeting, transitions between paragraphs, standard formulations about motivation and the closing polite phrase. This saves time and helps you not forget mandatory elements of a business letter. The tool is also useful if you are writing in a non-native language and want a grammatically smooth skeleton.

Another suitable task is to rephrase your raw notes into coherent sentences. For example, from a list of 'cashier, stocking, consultations' the service can build a paragraph about customer service. But it should not invent numbers, company names, or timelines that you did not provide.

A draft may begin like this: 'Hello! I was interested in the sales consultant vacancy in your store. Over two years in retail I learned to work with a cashier and help customers choose'

What to check and add manually after generation

After generation, read the text thoroughly and check every fact: positions, dates, organization names, numbers. The service may make mistakes or insert template phrases that do not match your situation. Remove everything that was not in your experience, even if it sounds beautiful.

Add a personal detail that cannot be extracted automatically: why you are interested in this specific company, which project or product you noticed, how your skills solve a specific task from the vacancy. One or two sentences with living specificity make the letter more convincing than any template.

Check the tone: it should be respectful but not pleading. Make sure the volume of the letter matches expectations — usually 150–250 words. If the service gave a too long text, trim it, keeping only the most important parts.

Instead of a general phrase 'I learn quickly' write: 'I mastered basic Excel in a month to maintain supply records in a small department'

When the service is not suitable

The tool is not worth using if the vacancy requires a creative portfolio, scientific justification, or legally significant formulations. In such cases a template letter may do harm. The service also is not suitable for mass mailing: it does not save history, does not support batch processing, and does not integrate with job site websites.

If you are applying for a competition or grant where uniqueness and proof matter, it is better to write yourself. The service does not check spelling in real time, does not highlight changes, and does not compare versions. It merely creates one draft based on your request.

Practical example: a retail salesperson with experience

Suppose you are applying for a sales consultant vacancy in an electronics store. Your real experience: two years in retail, working with a cashier, basic Excel, helping customers on the floor. Paste this into the 'Source material' field, and into the 'Role or characters' field — the job description or job title.

After generation you will receive a draft. Check that it contains no invented achievements, for example 'increased sales by 30%', if you did not do that. Add specificity: 'In my previous store I helped customers select accessories and maintained return records in Excel'. Remove generic phrases that are not supported by your experience.

The finished letter should answer the question: why exactly you fit this role. If the draft does not do this, rewrite the key paragraph manually. The service is only an assistant; responsibility for the content remains with you.

Final fragment: 'Hello! I was interested in the sales consultant vacancy. Two years in retail taught me to work with a cashier, help customers choose and maintain records in Excel. I would be glad to discuss how my experience can be useful to your team'.

How to evaluate the result and avoid mistakes

Read the letter out loud: if phrases sound unnatural or too formal, simplify them. Check that every paragraph carries meaning: greeting, experience, motivation, closing. Make sure there are no repeats or fluff.

Compare the text with the vacancy: are key requirements reflected? If the vacancy mentions working with clients, but the letter only mentions warehouse, add the needed accent. But do not copy the vacancy verbatim — that looks insincere.

Remember that the service may output errors, and queue and availability change. Do not send the letter without personal checking. If in doubt, ask a friend to read the draft and say whether it sounds like you.
