Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my strong interest in the Senior Software Engineer position at Acme Corp. With 4 years of hands-on experience in React and TypeScript and system design, I am confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully from day one. In my most recent role, I reduced page load times by 60% and led a team of 4 engineers. I thrive in environments where technical depth and cross-functional collaboration are equally valued. My approach is always outcome-first: I don't just write code, I solve problems that move the business forward. Acme Corp's mission to democratize developer tools resonates deeply with my background. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your team's goals. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Your Name

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a cover letter be?

Keep it to 3 short paragraphs: an opener that states the role, a middle paragraph with 2–3 specific achievements, and a closing with a call to action. Total length: 200–300 words. Hiring managers read hundreds — brevity is a feature, not a flaw.

Should I customize every cover letter?

Yes — but don't rewrite it from scratch. Change the company name, role, and one specific detail about why that company excites you. Generic letters get filtered immediately. Even 10 minutes of customization per application meaningfully improves your odds.

What tone should a cover letter have?

Professional but direct. Don't start with 'I am writing to apply for...' — that wastes the first sentence. Lead with your strongest credential or a compelling fact about your fit. Write like you would talk in an interview, not like a formal letter.

Do companies actually read cover letters?

Many recruiters skim them, but hiring managers for senior or specialized roles often read cover letters carefully — especially if the resume is borderline. A strong letter can convert a 'maybe' into an 'interview'. Never skip it.
