What to include

Four things
worth saying.

A cover letter has one job: to connect what the employer needs with what you have already done. Two relevant examples and a clear reason for wanting this role are worth more than a page of enthusiasm.

The role and where you saw it.

Name the position and the organization so the letter is clearly written for them.

Two relevant achievements.

Choose experience that matches the posting, and say what the result was.

Why this employer.

One specific reason: their product, their mission, a project you admire.

A confident close.

Say you would welcome a conversation and how to reach you.

What to leave out

And how long
to make it.

Repeating your résumé line by line.
Phrases every applicant uses, such as “team player” and “fast learner,” without an example.
Claims you could not back up in an interview.

Length. Choose 400 words for a full cover letter. Choose 150 for a short application email with your résumé attached.

Write mine with these in mind

Common questions

Before you begin.

Does MyScribe make up experience?

It is instructed not to invent jobs, results, or qualifications. It works from the experience you describe, so include the facts you want the letter to rely on and check the final draft.

Can I tailor it to a specific job posting?

Yes. Paste the key requirements from the posting into your details along with your matching experience, up to 2,000 characters.

How much does a cover letter cost?

Reading the opening is free, with no account or card. If you want the rest, the complete message is $2.99 USD, paid once, at any of the three lengths. There is no subscription.

Why not use a general AI chatbot?

You can, if you have one and don’t mind working out what to ask and asking again until the tone is right. MyScribe is built only for messages like this one: describe the situation once, choose a tone, and the wording is handled. There is no account to set up, and you only pay if the free opening sounds right.
