Editing Your Letter
How do I edit the generated cover letter?
The editor has Personal Info, Employer Details and Letter Details. Change anything you like and the page on the right updates as you type. The body holds up to 3000 characters.
What you can change
- **Personal Info**
- Job Title, Name, Email and Phone Number.
- **Employer Details**
- Company Name and HR Manager Name.
- **Letter Details**
- The full body of the letter, with a live word count under the box.
- Style
- Template, colour and text size, from the bar at the bottom.
Worth doing before you send it
- Fill in the company name, and the hiring manager's name if the posting gives one
- Add one line that is specific to this company, not to the industry
- Check every number and claim against your actual resume
- Keep it to one page, roughly 250 to 400 words
- Read it out loud once, so the wording sounds like you
Related questions
Can I use bold or bullet points?
The body has a small formatting toolbar above it. Keep formatting light, since a cover letter reads best as plain paragraphs.
Why can I not select the text?
Copying is blocked until the letter is unlocked. See the watermark and copy block.
My fields are greyed out
The letter has already been downloaded, which makes it read only. See read only after download.
