What this tool does

It helps you produce a covering letter that actually reflects the job you are going for, rather than a reused template that could be sent to anyone. You tell it about the role, the employer and what you bring to the table, and it drafts a letter you can tweak and send with your CV.

The aim is to save you the blank page problem. Most people know what they want to say but get stuck on how to open, how to structure the middle, and how to sign off without sounding stiff.

Who it is for

It suits anyone applying for a job in the UK who wants to send a proper covering letter alongside their CV. That might be a school or college leaver writing their first one, someone returning to work after a break, a career changer who needs to explain a shift in direction, or an experienced worker who simply has not written a letter in years and wants a sensible starting point.

It is also useful if you are applying for several roles at once and want each letter to sound specific to the employer, rather than copying and pasting the same paragraph every time. If you already have a strong letter you are happy with, you probably do not need it.

How it works

You answer a short set of questions about the job title, the company, the main requirements in the advert and your own relevant skills or experience. The tool then puts together a covering letter in plain English, with an opening, a middle section explaining why you are a good match, and a closing paragraph. Read it through, change anything that does not sound like you, check the details against the job advert, and you are ready to send it. Your answers are not stored once you leave the page, so you can use it as often as you need for different applications.
