Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a standalone cover letter cost?
A standalone general cover letter is currently R200. Some CV packages already include a cover letter, so compare the package inclusions before ordering it separately.
Is the cover letter tailored to one vacancy?
The exact scope is confirmed before work begins. A strong general letter gives you an adaptable foundation, while a vacancy-specific letter requires the relevant advert and truthful evidence that connects your experience to that role.
Should I attach the cover letter or use it in the email body?
Follow the employer's instructions first. If the advert does not request a separate attachment, a concise adapted version can often work well in the application email body.
How long should a cover letter be?
Usually no more than one page. It should add relevant context and motivation without repeating the entire CV.
Can a cover letter guarantee an interview?
No. It can strengthen the clarity and relevance of an application, but the vacancy, candidate fit, competition and employer's process determine the outcome.
Will I receive an editable version?
Yes. The service is designed to give you an editable document that can be adapted carefully for suitable applications. Your confirmed quote records the exact deliverables.
