Tailr now writes the matching cover letter too. Pick a résumé, paste or link the job, choose a tone — and get a one-page letter that mirrors the posting using experience you genuinely have. Edit it, then export to PDF or DOCX. The guides below cover the craft behind it.
One page, one column, four moves: name the role and why it fits, prove it with one concrete story, mirror the posting's real priorities, then close. We walk through each block — and show you where most letters go generic so yours doesn't.
Read the guideThe four blocks every strong letter needs — and what each one is actually for.
ToneRead the posting's voice and meet it — formal, plain, or warm — without faking yours.
OpenersSkip "I am writing to apply." Lead with something specific to this role and you.
KeywordsEcho the language they use for skills you truly have — never invent the ones you don't.
EditingFiller, repeats of your resume, and praise that says nothing. Tighten to one page.
JudgmentSome applications don't want a letter. Know when to skip it and focus the resume.
Say which role, and one specific reason this posting matches what you genuinely do well.
One real story with a result — pulled straight from your experience, not your wish list.
Echo the posting's top requirements you actually meet, in their words, with your evidence.
A short, confident sign-off. No begging, no padding — invite the next step and stop.
Tailr matches your resume to the posting free, and writes the matching cover letter — honest, tailored, one page — on Pro and BYOK. Export to PDF or DOCX.
