Frequently asked questions

Does the cover letter generator make things up?

It is told to use only facts from your resume, and every letter is checked before you see it: a number, degree or name that your resume does not contain is refused and the letter is rewritten once. If it still cannot write from your facts, you see no letter and the attempt does not count toward your free allowance.

How long is the cover letter?

Between 250 and 350 words in three or four short paragraphs, the length most career centers recommend for one page.

Is my resume saved?

No. Your resume and the job are sent to Applystead only to write the letter and are not stored. Only a daily count per network address is kept, never the address itself.

How many cover letters can I write for free?

Five generations a day with no account, shared with the free resume tailor and the LinkedIn headline generator. Each revision counts as one.

Can I paste a job link instead of the description?

Yes. Paste the posting's https link and Applystead reads the job from it. If the posting cannot be read, paste the description instead.

Should I send the letter as written?

Read it first and make it yours. Check every sentence is true, add a detail only you know, and use the revise box to change the tone or focus.
