Dear Hiring Team at Figma,
When I saw your Senior Product Designer role, it read like a description of the work I love most. Over five years I've shipped design systems used by millions — most recently leading a 4-person team that lifted activation 38% in two quarters.
Your focus on craft and velocity is exactly where I do my best work. I'd bring deep systems thinking, a bias for shipping, and a track record of turning ambiguous problems into products people actually use.

How to write a cover letter that gets read
A great cover letter is short, specific, and built for one job. Keep it to three or four short paragraphs on a single page: open by naming the role with a hook, use the body to prove you fit by matching the posting's top requirements to real results, and close by asking for the interview.
Recruiters skim, so lead with substance over flattery and never repeat your resume — add the story, context, and motivation it can't show. The structure on the right is exactly what OnJob.io fills in automatically from your resume and the job post.
Generate my letter freeThe 6-part structure
-
Header
Your name, contact details, and the date. Add the company name and role you're applying for.
-
Greeting
Address the hiring manager by name where you can find it. ‘Dear Hiring Team’ beats ‘To Whom It May Concern’.
-
Opening
Name the role and lead with a hook — a relevant result or a specific reason this job, at this company, fits you.
-
Body
Map 2–3 of the posting's key requirements to real, quantified examples. This is where you prove fit — not repeat the resume.
-
Company line
One specific sentence showing you understand the company, product, or team — proof you didn't mass-send this.
-
Close
Restate your interest, thank them, and clearly ask for the interview. Sign off professionally.
What a strong cover letter looks like
A short, tailored example for a data analyst role — annotated so you can see why each part works.
Dear Hiring Manager,
I'm applying for the Data Analyst role at Acme Retail. Last year I built a churn model that flagged at-risk customers two weeks earlier, helping cut monthly churn by 12% — exactly the kind of impact your team's growth charter is built around.
In my current role I work daily in SQL, Python, and Power BI, turning messy sales data into dashboards leadership actually uses. When a quarterly report took three days to compile, I automated it into a self-serve dashboard that now runs in minutes — the same speed-to-insight your job description calls for.
I've followed Acme's move into tier-2 cities and would love to bring that analytical edge to your expansion. I'd welcome the chance to discuss how I can help. Thank you for your time.
Warm regards,
Priya N.
- Opening with a hook. Names the exact role and leads with a quantified result tied to the team's goal.
- Proof, not repetition. Maps real skills (SQL, Python, Power BI) to a specific story — not a copy of the resume.
- Quantified impact. ‘Cut churn 12%’ and ‘three days to minutes’ make the value concrete and believable.
- Company knowledge. One specific line shows genuine research, not a mass-sent template.
- Clear close. Restates interest and asks for the conversation — no vague sign-off.
Common cover letter mistakes
The errors that get letters skipped — and what to do instead.
| Don't | Do |
|---|---|
| Repeating your resume word for word | Add new context and stories the resume can't show |
| ‘To Whom It May Concern’ + generic praise | Address a person and reference something specific about the role |
| One letter blasted to every job | Tailor the company name, role, and keywords each time |
| Making it all about what you want | Lead with the value you bring to them |
| A wall of text over one page | Three to four short, skimmable paragraphs |
| Typos and the wrong company name | Proofread every send — a mismatched name is an instant reject |

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you create your free profile.
Create My Free Profile What is an AI cover letter generator?
+
An AI cover letter generator is a tool that writes a personalized cover letter for you using artificial intelligence. OnJob.io's free AI cover letter generator reads your resume and the job description, then drafts a tailored, recruiter-ready letter in seconds — mapping your real experience to exactly what the role asks for, in the tone and length you choose.
Is the cover letter generator free?
+
Yes. You can generate and download a complete, tailored cover letter for free — no credit card required. A free OnJob.io account also includes the AI Profile Builder, a basic ATS score, and 5 AI applications per day. Pro (₹99/month) unlocks unlimited generations and the full AI toolkit.
How do I write a cover letter with AI?
+
Paste the job description, import your resume or OnJob profile, and pick a tone — the AI generates a tailored cover letter in seconds. You can edit any line, regenerate variations, and export as a PDF. The whole process takes about a minute, versus an hour writing from scratch.
Will the AI cover letter sound generic?
+
No. Each letter is built from your actual resume and the specific job posting, so it references your real achievements and the role's real requirements — not boilerplate. You control the tone and length, and you can edit or regenerate any part until it sounds authentically like you.
Can I create a different cover letter for every job?
+
Yes. Generate a fresh, tailored cover letter for each application in seconds. You can save, duplicate, and customize unlimited versions, and attach them to one-click applications across 47,000+ verified listings on OnJob.
How do I write a cover letter that actually gets read?
+
Keep it to three short paragraphs on one page. Open with the specific role and a hook (a relevant result or genuine reason you want this job), spend the body proving you fit by matching 2–3 of the posting's key requirements with real examples, and close by restating your interest and asking for the interview. Skip 'To Whom It May Concern' and generic flattery — recruiters skim, so lead with substance.
Is the OnJob.io cover letter generator free?
+
Yes. You can generate, edit, and download a tailored cover letter on the Free plan (₹0/month) — no credit card. Free covers the AI generator, resume builder, ATS checker, and one-click applies; Pro (₹99/month) adds unlimited generations and premium tones.
How long should a cover letter be?
+
Half a page to one page — roughly 200–300 words across three or four short paragraphs. If a recruiter has to scroll, it's too long. The goal is a tight, specific pitch that complements your resume, not a repeat of it.
What's the right structure for a cover letter?
+
Header (your contact details and the date), greeting (the hiring manager's name where possible), an opening that names the role and your hook, a body that maps your experience to the job's top requirements, and a close that asks for the interview and thanks them. OnJob.io fills this structure automatically from your resume and the job post.
How do I write a cover letter for a job with no experience (freshers)?
+
Lead with enthusiasm and transferable proof — academic projects, internships, college activities, certifications, and the exact skills the role asks for. Quantify wherever you can ('led a 5-person final-year project that…'). Show you understand the company and why you want this specific role; attitude and fit carry a fresher letter.
Should I write a different cover letter for every job?
+
Yes. A generic letter is obvious and gets ignored. Each letter should name the company and role and echo that posting's language. That's exactly what OnJob.io automates — paste a new job and it tailors a fresh, on-tone letter in seconds, so personalising every application costs you almost no time.
Will an AI-generated cover letter sound robotic or get flagged?
+
Not with OnJob.io. It writes from your real resume and the actual job post, in a tone you choose, and you edit before sending — so it reads specific and human, not like boilerplate. The AI beats the blank page; you keep the final voice.
Do cover letters still matter in 2026?
+
For most roles in India, yes — especially when applications are competitive or you're switching fields. A sharp, tailored letter explains your story, fills gaps a resume can't, and signals genuine interest. When a posting says 'optional', a strong letter is a cheap way to stand out.
