Cover Letter Template: Write a One-Page Cover Letter

Write a cover letter for a job application: fill in the job title, company, hiring manager, your experience, two or three key skills, one achievement, and why you want to work there, and get a clear one-page letter you can edit, print, or copy into an application form.

Cover Letter Template: Write a One-Page Cover Letter: The letter has the usual five parts: the role you are applying for, your relevant experience and skills, one concrete achievement, why this company, and a closing. Anything you leave empty is marked in square brackets, so nothing generic goes out by mistake, and a word count helps keep it to about a page. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am applying for the [job title] position at [company].

[Give one specific achievement, with a number if you can, that shows you can do this job]

[Say what draws you to this company in particular]

I would welcome the chance to discuss how I could contribute to your team. Thank you for considering my application.

Kind regards,

[Your name]

Keep it to one page, about 250 to 400 words, and match it to each job: use the words of the job advert for the skills you have, and give one result you can measure. Replace anything in square brackets before sending. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Achievements

One result with a number, such as cutting response times by a third or handling 40 customer calls a day, says more than a list of qualities.

Length

To check the length of a letter you write elsewhere, use the word counter.

How to use it

  1. Enter the job, the company, and where you saw it.
  2. Add your experience, skills, an achievement, and why this company.
  3. Edit the text, then print, copy, or download it.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a cover letter be?

About 250 to 400 words, never more than a page; recruiters skim, so lead with what fits the job best.

Should I write a new one for each job?

Yes: match the skills to the job advert and say something specific about the company; a generic letter is easy to spot.

What if I do not know the hiring manager's name?

Look on the company's website or the advert; if there is no name, Dear Hiring Manager is fine.
