RESUME COVER LETTER TEMPLATES

In an age of online applications and LinkedIn messages, it’s tempting to think cover letters are no longer necessary. But the truth is, a well-crafted cover letter can be the deciding factor in whether your resume gets read — or gets passed over.

A great cover letter does more than restate your resume. It gives you space to tell your story, explain your interest in a role, and highlight how your skills align with the company’s needs. It’s your chance to personalize your application and make a human connection — and that still matters in today’s competitive job market.

Our collection includes more than 250 resume cover letter templates, each designed to match one of our premium resume templates. Every template in this collection is:

• Fully editable in Microsoft Word
• Matched with a coordinated career documents such as a resume and biography template
• Created to help you look polished, consistent, and professional across all your job search documents

From traditional corporate roles to creative industries, you’ll find a letterhead design that fits your style and the tone of your application.

These cover letter templates aren’t just for job applications. Use them to write any professional career-related correspondence, including:

• Introductory letters to recruiters or networking contacts
• Follow-up or thank-you notes after interviews
• Letters of interest (cold outreach to potential employers)
• Professional references or endorsements
• Cover letters for board applications or consulting proposals

Every letter you send is a reflection of your professionalism — and your personal brand. These cover letter templates help you get it right, every time.

Using tools like ChatGPT to help draft your cover letter can save time — but generic, robotic-sounding content can backfire. Instead, pair our professionally designed cover letter templates with AI tools for brainstorming or initial drafts, then customize with your voice and our formatting for the best results.

Our templates provide the structure — you and AI bring the content to life.

• A professionally designed letterhead layout in Microsoft Word
• Matching design elements that pair with a resume, biography, and reference templates
• Built-in hints and guidance to help you know what to write and where to write it

Please note: These templates provide structure and formatting — not pre-written content. You’ll get helpful suggestions and placeholder text, but your letter should always reflect your unique voice and message.
