What matters most
If you send a cover letter, adapt its main reason and evidence to the role. Reuse a factual structure, but avoid a letter that names the wrong employer or makes generic claims.
A sales engineer might use one letter structure but choose a technical discovery example for a complex product role.
A practical approach
Use accurate evidence from your experience and keep the résumé, form, and interview story consistent.
- Keep a short base structure with your relevant background.
- Change the role-specific opening and strongest example.
- Proofread company name, title, and factual details before submission.
What to watch for
Do not spend an hour on every optional letter while neglecting suitable openings or interview preparation.
