Frequently Asked Questions

Why does CV Genius have the best cover letter builder online?

CV Genius’ top-rated cover letter builder software is updated regularly based on customer feedback and research into the latest recruitment trends. Our certified career coaches and coders ensure each template’s design is up to HR and applicant tracking system standards, and that our builder helps you easily perfect your cover letter’s content and style.

The CV Genius cover letter maker is in British English and is most useful for anyone applying for jobs in the UK and Ireland because it formats cover letters in the way recruiting managers in these two countries expect.

Is it OK to use a cover letter generator?

Yes, it is OK to use a cover letter generator. The main goal of a cover letter is to communicate your qualifications and add context to the information you highlight when you make a CV.

Our cover letter builder was created with these objectives in mind, so our generator does the hard work for you, creating a cover letter in a fraction of the time it would take you to write a cover letter from scratch.

In addition, the CV Genius cover letter generator gives you the option to customise every aspect of your cover letter, making it difficult even for recruiting managers to tell whether you used a builder or wrote it completely by yourself.

Is it OK to copy a cover letter template?

No, it is not OK to copy a cover letter template. Once you’ve downloaded a cover letter template, change the text to reflect your qualifications, work history, and achievements.

The generic text of a cover letter template won’t convince recruiting managers to hire you because it won’t state why you’d be a good fit for the specific role and how you’d help the company achieve its goals.

Should I save my cover letter as a PDF?

Yes, you should save your cover letter as a PDF. PDFs look the same no matter what software is used to open them, and they open without the messy red lines that appear in Microsoft Word documents.

Is it unethical to use ChatGPT to make a cover letter?

No, it is not unethical to use ChatGPT to make a cover letter. ChatGPT can help you save time when you’re writing your cover letter.

Remember to give ChatGPT a clear prompt with comprehensive details about your work experience, notable achievements, and academic or trade qualifications. And don’t forget that the cover letter text it generates will be plain text. You should put it into a pre-designed cover letter template to make it stand out to recruiting managers and make it easier to read.

What happens if I don’t write a cover letter?

If you don’t write a cover letter, employers won’t understand the link between your CV’s accomplishments and what you’re seeking from the job opportunity. You should use your cover letter to talk about why your experience, qualifications, and skills make you the perfect fit for the job.
