Do cover letters matter?

Cover letters do matter, as long as they are highly customized and the job posting asks for one.

A cover letter is your chance to show off your personality and highlight relevant experience when applying for a job. Each cover letter should be tailored to a specific job application.

Moreover, some companies use AI to run primary screenings on candidates. Incorporating keywords from the job listing into your resume and cover letter can help you pass these.

Use Quillbot’s Grammar Checker to catch any spelling and grammar errors before sending. Making sure your cover letter is error-free is one way to ensure it has a positive impact.

How do you use AI to write a cover letter?

A cover letter is a highly customized document, and AI may not understand your experience and the role you’re applying for well enough to write a good one.

However, AI can help you write your cover letter in other ways, like:

  • Help find company contact info so you address your cover letter to the right person
  • Assist you in refining your writing to be as succinct as possible
  • Proofread for grammar and spelling mistakes
  • Compare your letter’s text to the keywords in the job listing

Quillbot’s free Grammar Checker is an example of an AI that can help you proofread your cover letter.
