How to write a cover letter (simple, proven structure)

A good cover letter is short, specific, and easy to scan. You don’t need fancy words — you need clear reasons you fit the role, backed by 2–3 examples.

The easiest structure

  1. 1) Hook (1–2 sentences)

    The role you’re applying for + why you’re interested (not generic).

  2. 2) Proof (2 short examples)

    Choose 2 strengths that match the job description and show evidence.

  3. 3) Fit & values (1 short paragraph)

    Why this company, team, or industry — one specific line is enough.

  4. 4) Close (1–2 sentences)

    Thank them, confirm interest, and invite next steps.

Quick tips that instantly improve results

  • Keep it to 150–250 words.
  • Mirror 2–3 keywords from the job advert (skills/tools/role name).
  • Replace vague lines like “hardworking” with a mini-example.
  • If spelling/wording is a worry, generate a draft and then edit the facts.

Tip: If you’re applying to multiple jobs, regenerate the cover letter per role — keep the structure, swap the evidence and keywords.
