Cover letters that get read
Cover letter examples by role
A cover letter has about fifteen seconds to say something your resume cannot. These examples skip the full-page template and show the four parts that actually matter — the opening line, the reason it's this company, the proof, and the close — with sample lines you can adapt for both Indian and international applications.

Read the exampleWhat every good cover letter does
- Stays between 150 and 250 words — one screen, four short paragraphs.
- Opens on a result or the closest thing you've built, never "I am writing to apply".
- Names one specific, checkable reason for this employer.
- Repeats no more than two lines from the resume; adds context instead.
- Exports as a plain single-column PDF so parsers read it alongside the resume.
