How it works

Three steps to a letter you can send

  1. You

    Your contact details fill in from your Terview profile. Choose the resume the letter draws from — a saved Terview resume, your profile, or a PDF or Word file.

    Step one: Maya Okafor’s contact details, switches for what the letterhead shows, and the saved resume the letter draws from.

  2. The job

    Paste the posting or import it from a link. Find its key requirements and pin up to four for the letter to lead with, and add why you want this company in your own words.

    Step two: the pasted job description, job title Senior Data Analyst at Northwind, and key requirement chips with Forecasting, SQL and dbt pinned.

  3. Write it

    Pick the tone, length, structure, opening and language, then write. The letter appears on the page as it’s written.

    Step three: letter settings — tone, length, structure, opening, language and experiences to highlight.
Tone

Five tones. Pick the one that fits the room.

The same opening for a Senior Data Analyst role at Northwind, in each tone. Your letter uses your own resume, so yours will read differently.

Sample openings

Dear Northwind Hiring Team,

I’m applying for the Senior Data Analyst role on Northwind’s payments team. For seven years I’ve turned operational data into decisions finance teams act on — most recently a cash forecast that cut overdraft fees by 31%.

It won’t make things up. The letter uses only what’s on your resume and what you write. Where a number would help and you haven’t given one, you get [X] to fill in, and it flags anything the job asks for that your resume doesn’t show.

Edit on the page, with AI when you want it

Every paragraph is yours to type into. Or ask for a rewrite of one paragraph or a few selected words, and accept, edit or reject the suggestion.

  • Rewrite, shorten, expand or make it more specific
  • Add a metric, or change the tone of one paragraph
  • Undo and redo every change
A paragraph’s AI edit menu open: Rewrite, Shorten, Expand, More specific, Add a metric and Change tone with the five tones.

A quality check that ticks itself

As you edit, a checklist looks for what lets a letter down — and each item jumps to the paragraph to fix.

  • Names the company and the role, covers the requirements you pinned
  • Concrete achievements, no clichés, no [X] left
  • Spelling and grammar check on request
The quality check: 7 of 8 pass, with one [X] placeholder still to replace and a Check spelling button.

More than one version to choose from

On Pro and Max, write two or three versions at once — each leads differently — then pick one or compare them side by side.

  • Two versions on Pro, three on Max
  • Compare side by side
  • Version history, so you can go back
Pick a version: three sample versions of the Northwind letter with their word counts, and Compare side by side.

Questions, answered

No. The letter uses only what’s on the resume you choose and what you write about the job. If a number would help and you haven’t given one, you get [X] to fill in, and it flags anything the posting asks for that your resume doesn’t show — keep it only if it’s true.
