How the draft is built
The draft follows the order most recruiters expect. The first paragraph names the job, the company and where you saw it. The second gives your current role and years of experience, your qualification, two or three skills and one result. The third says why you want this company: write it yourself if you can, because it is the part a template cannot know. The fourth, used only if you fill the boxes, covers where you are based, your visa status and your notice period. A short closing asks for an interview. Every sentence stays editable, and once you change the text the tool stops overwriting it until you ask for a new draft.
Using the CV you already made
Our CV maker saves your CV in this browser only. The cover letter maker reads that same saved copy, on this device, and fills only the boxes that are still empty, so nothing you typed is replaced. It takes your latest job, works out years of experience from your earliest start date to your latest end date, picks your first two or three skills and the first bullet point without a [X] placeholder. Gaps between jobs are not subtracted, so check the years figure before you send the letter.
Gulf notes, country by country
When you choose the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman or Kuwait, the tool shows a few notes for that country. They are not invented for this page: each one comes from our CV format guide for that country, where every official point links to its source and practice is marked as practice. For other countries we show no notes rather than guess. Read the full guide before you apply.
What makes a cover letter work
Recruiters skim. A cover letter that gets read is short, specific to one job and backed by one fact they can check. Write a new letter for each application, or at least change the job, the company and the "why" paragraph each time.
- Use the job title exactly as it appears in the advert
- Give one result with a number, for example time saved, sales won or patients cared for
- Do not repeat the whole CV; pick what matters for this job
- Keep it to one page and use the same name, email and phone as on the CV
- Address a person by name when the advert gives one
- Read it aloud once before you send it, and replace every [X]
