Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Resume Genius have the best cover letter builder online?

The Certified Professional Resume Writers & Career Coaches at Resume Genius have been working for over a decade refining their software to best meet the needs of their users like yourself. After years of perfecting every detail, we can confidently say that we’ve built the best cover letter generator you’ll find online today.

Use it for free yourself and see what you think. And if you like it, build a matching resume to pair it with.

Is it okay to use a cover letter generator?

Yes, it’s okay to use a cover letter generator. Hiring managers aren’t concerned with anything other than the content of your letter (and whether or not it’s easy to read). Our builder handles the formatting, and makes creating content targeted at the specific job you want as easy as a few clicks of your mouse.

Are cover letters really necessary in 2023?

In most situations, yes — cover letters are still necessary in 2023. Unless the job description specifically says to not include a cover letter, attaching a cover letter to your application won’t hurt your chances of getting called for an interview, and will likely increase your chances.

How do I make a cover letter with no experience?

To make a cover letter with no experience (like a cover letter for an entry-level position), there are several key things to highlight in your content:

  • Job-relevant skills
  • Experiences (like volunteering, internships, or school groups) related to the advertised position
  • Enthusiasm for the opportunity
  • Any connections you have to the job (maybe you know their brand, are familiar with their work, or even know someone at the company who referred you)

You should also include basic details in your cover letter introduction that explain how you found out about the job posting, who you are, and how to contact you if they’re interested in proceeding with your application.
