What Our AI Tool Does For You

Tailored Content: Creates a unique letter for each role using the exact job title and company name

Perfect Length: Generates 250–350 words (one A4 page) unless the job specifies otherwise

Skills Matching: Maps your experience to the job's key requirements with specific examples

STAR Examples: Uses Situation-Task-Action-Result framework naturally (without labels)

Australian Format: Uses Australian English spelling and professional conventions

ATS-Friendly: Plain text format with keywords from the job description

Gap Analysis: Identifies missing requirements and suggests how to address them

Government & Public Sector Roles

For APS, state government, or council positions that require selection criteria or targeted questions:

  • • Tool adapts to required format (pitch, targeted questions, criteria)
  • • Links evidence to frameworks (e.g., APS Values)
  • • Follows exact word/page limits specified
  • • Uses formal, outcome-based language

Australian Cover Letter Best Practices

Ideal Structure (4 Paragraphs)

Opening (40-60 words): State the role and company, plus one compelling hook
Match (100-130 words): Map 2-3 achievements to their top requirements
Proof (80-100 words): One detailed STAR example with quantified results
Close (30-40 words): Confirm fit and invite discussion

Keywords & Evidence

  • • Mirror keywords from the job ad naturally
  • • Include numbers and outcomes where possible
  • • Write out acronyms once: "CRM (Customer Relationship Management)"

Formatting for ATS

  • • Use standard fonts (Arial/Calibri 11-12pt)
  • • Save as PDF unless .docx requested
  • • Name file: FirstName-LastName-Role.pdf
  • • Keep layout simple (no tables/graphics)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • • Generic opening lines ("I am writing to apply...")
  • • Repeating your CV chronologically
  • • Including salary unless specifically asked
  • • Photos or personal details (DOB, marital status)
  • • Exceeding one page unless requested

Industry variations: Tech roles often prefer shorter letters (200-300 words) with portfolio links. Mining/resources emphasise safety records and certifications. Healthcare requires AHPRA registration details. Financial services value regulatory knowledge and quantified outcomes.
