Write a Cover Letter That Gets You Noticed
A great cover letter takes minutes with the right structure. Use the cover letter section in CVGraduate's builder to craft a personalised letter alongside your CV.
4 Tips for a Standout Cover Letter
Tailor to the job
Reference the company name and specific role. Hiring managers immediately spot generic letters — personalisation shows genuine interest.
Lead with your strongest achievement
Open with a concrete result: revenue saved, project delivered, or skill demonstrated. Grab attention in the first two sentences.
Mirror the job description
Pick two or three key phrases from the posting and weave them naturally into your letter. This passes ATS filters and resonates with recruiters.
Keep it to one page
Three short paragraphs is the sweet spot: why you, why them, and a clear call to action. Recruiters spend under 30 seconds on a cover letter.
