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: any number, degree or name we can't find in your resume is highlighted for you to confirm or remove before you copy it.
How long is the cover letter?
About 300 words in three or four short paragraphs, the length most career centers recommend for one page. Ask for a shorter or longer letter in the revise box.
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. If you move to another step with the bar at the top, both are kept in this browser tab for 30 minutes so the next tool can fill them in.
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.
