Premium cover letter

Typography, a matching set, and a licence. The letter still has to work as a text box, because that is how most of them are submitted.

What this layout usually means

  • A matched pair with a résumé, in Word or Pages
  • Considered typography, occasionally a two-column arrangement
  • Supplied with example wording to replace

What happens when a machine reads it

Not an opinion about design. These are the things a text extractor does with a page, and you can watch ours do them to your own file at the bottom of this page.

The example wording
It is the same wording everyone else who bought the template is sending. Read the first paragraph and ask whether it names anything specific; usually it cannot, because it was written to fit any job.
Two-column layouts
The same interleaving problem, and worse in prose than in a list.

Usable with care

Buy the typography if you like it. Rewrite every line of the supplied wording, and keep a plain-text version for forms.

Write one instead

Our builder writes the structure above, exports as PDF, Word or plain text, and shows you what a parser reads back as you type. Free, no account, and the download is not the paywall.
