How to Generate ATS-Friendly Cover Letters That Get You Hired

We're excited to announce a major new feature at ApplyMate: cover letter generation. This enhancement brings even more value to your job application workflow, helping you create compelling, tailored cover letters that complement your optimized resume.

How It Works

The new cover letter generation feature works seamlessly alongside our resume optimization:

  • Upload your resume – Start by uploading your existing resume (PDF format)
  • Paste the job description – Add the job description you're targeting
  • Get both outputs – Receive your optimized resume AND a customized cover letter

The AI analyzes your uploaded resume and the job description to create a cover letter that's perfectly tailored to the position.

Why Tailored Cover Letters Matter

A customized cover letter significantly increases your chances of landing an interview. Here's why:

✅ ATS Compatibility

Modern applicant tracking systems (ATS) don't just scan resumes—they also analyze cover letters. Our AI ensures your cover letter includes all the relevant keywords from the job description, maximizing your chances of passing automated screening.

✅ Relevance to the Role

Generic cover letters get ignored. Our generation process pulls specific skills, experiences, and qualifications from both your resume and the job description, creating a narrative that directly addresses what hiring managers are looking for.

✅ Time Savings

Writing a tailored cover letter for each application takes time—often 30-60 minutes per job. With ApplyMate, you get a professionally crafted cover letter in seconds, freeing you to apply to more positions.

No Extra Cost

Here's the best part: generating a cover letter doesn't consume any additional credits. When you purchase credits for resume optimization, you get both the resume AND the cover letter for the price of a single credit. It's our way of giving you more value and helping you apply to more jobs without worrying about costs.

Part of Our Mission

This feature is part of ApplyMate's broader expansion to provide the entire interview package for any given role. We believe that every aspect of your application should be optimized, coordinated, and tailored to the position you're targeting.

Whether you need an ATS-optimized resume, a compelling cover letter, or both—ApplyMate has you covered. Start using the new cover letter generation feature today and give your job applications the competitive edge they deserve!
