How to write a cover letter for a job with AI

To write a cover letter for a job with AI, start with your accurate resume and the complete job description. The draft should connect supported experience to the employer's requirements. It should never create a new employer, skill or achievement.

1. Add your resume and the complete job posting

Open your resume and select Tailor to a job. Add the full posting and review the role, company and factual requirements before starting. Automatic tailoring creates a matching resume and cover letter from the same source facts. A cover letter without a specific posting cannot explain why you fit that specific job.

Correct the resume or posting first if the analysis used the wrong information. The cover letter will use the same source experience and job target.

2. Create the matching application

Start automatic tailoring after checking the job target. The same run creates the tailored resume and matching cover letter, so the two documents use the same supported experience and job context. The document language and posting guide the first draft; you make the final tone decision during review.

3. Verify every claim and edit the full cover letter

Read the full letter and check the company, role and every claim against your source resume. Correct anything inaccurate before using it.

Verify these details against the source resume:

• employer names, dates and job titles;
• tools, qualifications and languages;
• numbers, results and the scope of each achievement;
• the reason each example supports this role.
