Role-Targeted Cover Letter Writing (2025)
A cover letter should not repeat your CV. It should translate your most relevant achievements into a clear reason why you fit this role and why the employer should interview you now.
We map the job description to your experience, choose the strongest evidence, and write with simple structure that recruiters can scan quickly. After that, you can reuse the template to apply faster on ManpowerGlobal.io.

How long should it be?
250–400 words works best for most roles. Senior/technical roles may be slightly longer if every line adds value.
