It starts from the job description
When you prepare an application pack for a role saved in your applications, ROLIVA reads that posting’s requirement lines and the skills it names, and puts the requirements it can match with your evidence first.
COVER LETTERS
Cover letters that start from the job description
ROLIVA generates a cover-letter draft for a specific role from that role’s description and only the facts you have confirmed, by fixed rules. Then you review and edit it, and you decide whether to send it.
How the draft is made
It uses only facts you have confirmed
The examples in the letter come from the experience you reviewed and confirmed in your career profile, up to three of them, in your own wording. ROLIVA does not add skills, employers or results you have not confirmed. If you have not confirmed any work experience yet, it does not draft a letter at all.
It is drafted by fixed rules
The letter is generated automatically by fixed drafting rules, not written for you by a person. The opening, closing and linking sentences are standard wording; the evidence sentences are your own. That is why it is a starting point, not a finished letter.
You edit it before sending
Every draft is marked for your review and is never sent by ROLIVA. Read it, change the wording, add why this employer matters to you, and confirm it. If you use the browser Companion, it fills in only a letter you have reviewed and confirmed, and you submit the application yourself.
A cover letter structure that works
- Greeting. Address the hiring team, or the person named in the posting if there is one.
- Opening. Name the role and the employer in the first sentence. Mention a referral only if it is real and the person agreed.
- Evidence. Pick two or three requirements from the job description and give one confirmed example for each: what you did, its scope and a result you can support.
- Why this employer. One or two specific sentences based on the posting or the employer’s own material, never generic praise.
- Close. Ask for a conversation, thank the reader and sign off with your name. Keep the whole letter to one page.

Before you send it
- Check the employer’s name, the role title and any named person against the posting.
- Remove anything you could not talk about in an interview.
- Follow the employer’s instructions on format, length and where to put the letter.
- Read it aloud once. If a sentence does not sound like you, rewrite it.
Application packs, which include the cover-letter draft, count towards your plan’s monthly allowance. Current allowances are on the pricing page. A letter cannot guarantee an interview, and ROLIVA does not claim it will.
