Frequently asked questions

What should a cover letter actually say?
Keep it to three short parts: why you are writing and the role you want, two or three specific reasons you fit it backed by real examples, and a polite close inviting a conversation. Match a couple of phrases to the job advert so it reads as written for that role, not a template.
How long should a cover letter be?
One page, usually three to four short paragraphs. Hiring managers skim, so a tight letter that names the role and points to concrete results beats a long one. The layout here keeps it to a single clean page.
How do I address a cover letter with no named contact?
If the advert gives no name, "Dear Hiring Manager" is a safe, professional greeting, and it is better than the dated "To Whom It May Concern". A quick look at the company page or LinkedIn sometimes turns up the hiring manager, and there is a field for the name so you can drop it in when you have it.
