Your cover letter is a vital part of your job application. You have probably heard that you should create a new cover letter for every job you apply for. But should you create unique cover letters if you're sending them all to the same hiring manager and company, but for different jobs? This is a concept that confuses many jobseekers. It may seem awkward to write completely separate cover letters knowing that the same person will read all of them.
However, we still recommend creating a completely unique cover letter for every job opening you apply for. The only time you should not write a cover letter for an application is if the job description says you should not.
It can be difficult to include similar content in two letters and make it unique each time. First of all, think of the differences in the positions to figure out what different skills, abilities, or attributes should be in each letter. Secondly, use our cover letter builder to make the writing process as easy as possible.
