How should you use an example?
Get inspired and adapt it to your experience
An example gives you a structure and possible wording. It should then become your cover letter, with your experience, skills and reasons for joining the company.
- Identify the structure: subject, introduction, arguments, projection and conclusion
- Replace generic wording: add specific facts from your background and the role.
- Adapt the letter to the company: show that you know where you are applying and why.

Our advice
Do not try to stick too rigidly to a writing method: in the age of AI, your authenticity and your project are what will attract attention.
The right structure
A short, clear and personalized letter
The goal is not to repeat the resume, but to explain why your profile and this role make sense together.
Why this company?
Show that your approach is targeted and that you understand the context of the role.
Why you?
Support your application with a project and the momentum you can bring to the company.
Open the door to what comes next
Suggest the next step with a simple invitation to talk, even by phone.
Example or template?
The content of an example, the freedom of an editor
An example helps you find the right arguments. A template helps you present your letter. CVDesignR combines both: get inspired by the content, then personalize the layout in the editor.
- Use the right structure: organize your information so your background is easy to understand.
- Adapt examples to your experience: rewrite the suggested wording with your own tasks, responsibilities and results.
- Personalize your resume for the role: highlight the skills and experience most relevant to each application.
Mistakes to avoid
Mistakes that stop a resume fromconvincing
Even with an excellent template, some mistakes can hurt your application.
Copy and paste the same text everywhere
A letter should vary at least by company, role, arguments and examples.
Repeat the entire resume
Select only the elements that support your motivation and fit for the role.
Use overly vague phrases
Replace “motivated and dynamic” with a fact, experience or verifiable achievement.
Write a letter that is too long
Favor quick reading, short paragraphs and one main idea per block.
