Cover Letter Kaise Likhein — 3-Paragraph Formula

Career · 5 min read

Most Indian recruiters skim cover letters in 20 seconds. Yours needs 3 things: relevance, proof, and a clear ask.

The formula

Para 1: Role + where you found it + one line on why you fit. "I'm applying for the React Developer role I saw on LinkedIn — I've shipped 2 production React apps."

Para 2: Your strongest proof mapped to the JD. Pick ONE project/experience and show what you built, tech, outcome.

Para 3: Enthusiasm + availability + call to action. "Available to interview this week — happy to share my portfolio."

AI ka sahi use

Use AI for structure and first draft, then rewrite in your own words. Recruiters can smell generic AI copy. Add one specific detail only you know — that's the difference between "generated" and "genuine."
