Cover letters

Cover letters are the most-skipped, least-loved part of a job application. They're also the only chance you have to argue, in your own voice, why your CV is right for one specific job. The guides in this cluster cover the full lifecycle — what a cover letter is and is for, how to structure one that actually gets read, and the tricky special cases (no experience, employment gaps, career changes) that the standard advice doesn't address. Every guide ends with a worked example using the AI Job Answers cover letter generator, which writes a tailored draft from your CV in about twenty seconds. Read in any order; the first two are foundational, the rest are situational.
