How to create a cover letter

Prepare the relevant resume or work evidence and the real target when the draft depends on one.

Yes. Compare it with the source, then accept, revise, or remove each change.

Check every name, date, number, responsibility, and outcome against the resume or work evidence you supplied.

Create or import a cover letter, connect it to a resume and target job, and review the final evidence.

Build a letter from matched evidence

Connect one target role, one resume, and a small set of relevant examples before drafting.

Prepare: Have the current job description, intended resume, recipient details if known, and two or three supported work examples.
Work: Open the new cover-letter editor, choose or import the relevant material, and draft around the target requirements.
Review: Remove generic praise, verify names and claims, and make the requested next action clear.

Success check: The letter explains why this role, why your evidence fits, and what you want next without repeating the resume.
If it does not work: If the draft could fit any company, return to the job requirements and replace one generic paragraph with a verified example.
