Create a compelling, personalized cover letter that gets you noticed for job applications
I need a cover letter that stands out and convinces the hiring manager to read my resume. I am applying for the role of [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Here is the job description or key requirements: [JOB_DESCRIPTION] My relevant experience and qualifications include: [MY_EXPERIENCE] Specific achievements or results I want to highlight: [ACHIEVEMENTS?] Why I am genuinely interested in this company or role: [WHY_INTERESTED] The tone should be [TONE:select:professional and confident,enthusiastic and personable,formal and traditional,conversational but polished]. Write a complete cover letter that opens with a hook that grabs attention rather than a generic introduction. Connect my specific experience to what they are looking for. Show genuine interest in the company and why I would be a great fit. Include a confident closing with a clear call to action. Keep it to one page and make every sentence count. Do not repeat what is already on my resume - instead, tell the story behind it.

Get Early AccessHiring managers spend about 7 seconds on your cover letter before deciding whether to keep reading. Most cover letters waste those seconds with "I am writing to express my interest in the position of..." which tells them nothing they do not already know.
The Cover Letter Writer creates personalized letters that open with a hook and connect your experience to what the company actually needs. You paste the [JOB_DESCRIPTION], add your [MY_EXPERIENCE], and get back a letter that tells the story behind your resume instead of repeating it.
The prompt handles the hardest part: making your interest sound genuine. [WHY_INTERESTED] forces you to articulate your real reasons for wanting this specific role at this specific company. That specificity is what separates letters that get interviews from letters that get skimmed.
Your cover letter should tell the same career story as your resume. Use the Resume Bullet Point Writer to align your resume, and polish your professional summary to match.
Draft your cover letter in the Dock Editor and customize it for every application without starting from scratch each time.
Copy the full job description into [JOB_DESCRIPTION]. Include requirements, responsibilities, and any information about the company culture. The AI matches your experience to their specific language, which helps with both human readers and applicant tracking systems.
In [MY_EXPERIENCE], describe your relevant background in a few sentences or bullet points. Focus on the overlap between what you have done and what the job requires. You do not need to cover your entire career, just the parts that matter for this role.
Fill in [ACHIEVEMENTS] with measurable outcomes. "Grew the email list from 5,000 to 25,000 subscribers" beats "managed email marketing." If you do not have exact numbers, use approximations or qualitative results like "earned client renewal for a $200K contract."
In [WHY_INTERESTED], write why you actually want this job. Reference the company's product, mission, or a recent announcement. Generic motivation gets generic results. Specific interest shows you did your homework and helps the AI write a letter that feels personal.
Select [TONE] based on the company culture. Startups often prefer "conversational but polished." Enterprise roles lean toward "professional and confident." If you are not sure, go with "professional and confident" as the safe default.
Create a customized cover letter for each application in minutes instead of hours. Run the prompt with different [JOB_DESCRIPTION] inputs and the AI adapts your experience to each role.
Frame your transferable skills in language the new industry values. The AI connects your past achievements to the job requirements, even when the industries are different.
Turn internships, coursework, and extracurricular leadership into compelling cover letter material. Focus [ACHIEVEMENTS] on any projects with measurable outcomes, even at a small scale.
Apply for promotions or lateral moves with a cover letter that references your institutional knowledge. Set [WHY_INTERESTED] to explain why you want to grow within the organization rather than why you want to join it.
