Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a cover letter in 2025?
Yes. Automated screening tools still parse them. Hiring managers still read the good ones. And when two candidates are equal, the cover letter is the tiebreaker.
How long should my cover letter be?
250-400 words. One page maximum. Hiring managers spend about 7 seconds on the first scan. Make every word earn its place.
Should I use the same cover letter for every job?
Never. Each company has different challenges, values, and culture. A generic letter signals generic interest. Spend 20 minutes customizing it.
What if I do not have direct experience?
Lead with what you have built, fixed, or improved — even if it was a side project or school assignment. Proof of work beats years of experience.
How do I follow up after sending a cover letter?
Wait one week, then send a brief email referencing something specific from your application. 'I noticed you launched the new dashboard last week — excited about the direction.'
