How it works
Start from your CV
Your name, contacts and design come across from the CV maker, so the letter matches.
Write the letter
Date, who it is for, a subject line, then three short paragraphs: why you are writing, what you bring, and a polite close.

Why it matters
Real text, not a picture
The Word file has your CV as text and tables you can edit, and the PDF keeps its text, so an applicant tracking system can read it.
One page, laid out for you
Sections flow down their columns. A long CV is set a little smaller to fit, and the page tells you when to trim.
Change the design any time
Your details stay when you switch designs, colours or fonts; the cover letter takes them too.

Questions
Do I always need a cover letter?
When the advert asks for one, yes; when it is optional, a short tailored letter still helps you stand out.
How long should a cover letter be?
Under one page: three or four short paragraphs, about 250 to 400 words.
What goes in a cover letter?
The job you are applying for, why you want it, two or three things you have done that fit it, and a request for an interview. Address it to a person by name if you can.
Should the cover letter match my CV?
It helps: the same name, contacts and look tell the reader the two belong together. This maker uses the design of your CV.
