💡 Tip of the Day
Always fact check generated content before publishing.
Hiring teams skim first and read later. Your resume and letter should make it easy to see the match within seconds, then offer specifics for the deeper read. Good bullets show impact with numbers, not vague claims. A good cover letter is short, points at the job, and feels like a human wrote it. This tool helps you get there faster by turning raw highlights into measurable bullets and drafting a brief, direct letter you can personalize in a minute.
Quick start - role, highlights, skills
Type the target role, paste three to six experience highlights, and list skills as simple words. Click Generate. The tool turns highlights into bullet-ready lines that lead with action and end with the outcome. It also produces a short cover letter that points to the role and your recent work. Replace “Your Name,” tweak one sentence so it sounds like you, and send. If the company has a public roadmap or a recent post, add one sentence that shows you did your homework.
Resume bullet rules that recruiters can scan fast
Bullets should start with a strong verb and end with a measurable result. Numbers anchor claims: “Increased activation from 28 percent to 41 percent,” “Reduced support tickets by 22 percent.” If you cannot share exact numbers, use directional words and ranges - “cut onboarding time by ~30 percent.” Keep each bullet to one line when possible. If you need two lines, make sure the second line adds a number or a specific tool, not another adjective.
Cover letter structure - short, specific, and kind
The first paragraph should say why you are writing and what recent work matches the role. The second lists a few skills or domains that matter for this job, not a generic list from your resume. The last line shows initiative without grand promises. Offer to share a 30–60 day plan, a case study, or a quick call. Avoid summary language that repeats your resume. The letter is a handshake, not a life story. For guidance from hiring managers, the Nielsen Norman Group’s notes on cover letters explain what helps readers decide quickly.
ATS and readability - beat the filter, help the human
Applicant tracking systems parse text. Use standard headings, simple bullets, and common skill names. Avoid tables or unusual symbols in core sections. Put the role title and skills from the posting into your resume naturally. This is not keyword stuffing - it is alignment. Keep file names clean - “Firstname-Lastname-Role.pdf.” If the posting lists location or time zone, state it clearly in the header or the letter. You are helping the human reviewer say yes faster.
Comparison - generic letter vs targeted note
| Aspect | Generic | Targeted |
|---|---|---|
| Relevance | Low | High - points at role |
| Time to read | Wasted | One minute |
| Signal | Buzzwords | Outcomes and tools |
| Response odds | Lower | Higher |
Bullet notes - small habits that raise signal
- Write bullets with action + scope + metric - shipped X to Y users, improved Z by N percent.
- Mirror the language of the posting where it is honest - tool names, domains, outcomes.
- Cut filler skills that every candidate lists; keep the 5 that matter here.
- Use a calm tone - confidence reads better than hype.
Real example - moving from busy to clear
A candidate applied with a dense two-page resume and a generic letter. Recruiters glanced and passed. We rewrote six bullets to show outcomes with numbers and replaced the letter with three short paragraphs that pointed at the role’s main deliverables. The next three applications produced two screens. The work history did not change - clarity did. The candidate said the new set felt like telling the truth faster, and that change alone made interviews easier to start.
Two quick questions before you send
- Can a busy recruiter see the match in 10 seconds by skimming your top bullets and the first paragraph?
- Does each bullet name an outcome with a number, and does the letter avoid repeating your resume?
Resumes and letters do not need to be dramatic. They need to be clear, specific, and respectful of time. Use this tool to turn raw highlights into readable bullets and a short note. Then add one line that shows you know the company. That is usually enough to earn a careful read.
