Create a cover letter

Every resume template has a matching cover letter. Your letter uses the same header, colors and fonts as the resume it is linked to.

Ways to start

• In the editor: select “Add cover letter” in the Resume / Cover letter switch at the top.
• From My resumes: open a resume’s menu and choose “Write a cover letter”.
• From My cover letters: create a new one and pick the resume to link.

1. The job: enter the job title and company. You can skip this and fill it in later.
2. Your letter: draft it from your resume, write your own, or start from an example.
3. If you draft from your resume, choose up to three skills to focus on, a tone and a length.

A drafted letter only uses what is already in your resume. Read it and make it your own before you send it.
