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 on the basis of customer feedback and careful research. Our team of certified career coaches and coders ensure each template’s design is up to HR and applicant tracking system standards, and that each feature in the builder helps you easily refine 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’s set up to format CVs in line with the standards of the two countries.

Is it okay to use a cover letter generator?

Yes, it is okay to use a cover letter generator. The main point of a cover letter is to convey your qualifications and add more context to your CV. Our cover letter builder was created with these specific goals in mind, so a cover letter created with our generator does the hard work for you in a fraction of the time.

Additionally, the CV Genius cover letter generator allows you to completely customise every detail of your cover letter, making it highly unlikely anyone can tell whether you used a builder or wrote it completely by yourself.

Should I always submit a cover letter with my application?

Yes, you should always submit a cover letter with your application (in other words, alongside your well-made CV). Many job searchers don’t always include a cover letter, so employers will be more impressed when you do include a cover letter because it shows you’re taking the job seriously.

Impress employers and get interviews by creating a cover letter targeting the job advert.

What's the standard format of a cover letter?

Here’s the standard format of a cover letter, from top to bottom:

  1. The header — your name and contact information
  2. The company’s details — address, phone number, and the recipient’s name
  3. Opening salutation — Dear ‘Recipient’s Name,’
  4. Introductory paragraph, explaining who you are, why you’re applying, and what makes you the right person for the job
  5. Body paragraph(s), which provides greater context to the achievements and skills you list in your CV)
  6. Closing paragraph, which restates your interest and provides the best times to reach you
  7. Sign-off — ‘Yours sincerely,’ with your name below

Is it okay to send out one generic cover letter to multiple companies?

No, it is not okay to send out one generic cover letter to multiple companies. Employers can spot generic cover letters, and using one instantly conveys a lack of interest in the role.

Instead of falling into the bad habit of using a generic cover letter, use our cover letter builder software to create customised cover letters for all of your job applications. Track your applications and cover letters easily with our dashboard, and you’ll never need to send a generic letter to an employer again.
