FAQ

Cover letter generator questions, answered

Do cover letters still matter?

For many roles they do. A targeted cover letter shows intent and highlights JD-specific fit.

How long should it be?

Aim for 3-5 short paragraphs on one page. The generator keeps it concise by default.

Is an application letter the same as a cover letter?

Mostly. An application letter is effectively a cover letter that focuses on your fit for the role.

Can I generate without a resume?

Yes. JD is required; resume upload is optional but improves personalization.

Is it free? What are the limits?

A limited free plan is available. Daily cover letter generator runs are capped; upgrade for more.

Will it sound human and avoid clichés?

Yes. Tone controls keep it human, and we avoid filler phrases. You can edit any line before sending.

Can I tailor for multiple roles quickly?

Yes. Swap the JD and regenerate; we reuse your details and keep formatting consistent.
