Generating CVs & Cover Letters
How to generate tailored CVs and cover letters for any job listing
Generating an Application
The core of SnapCV is generating a tailored CV and cover letter for a specific
job in seconds.
How to Generate
- Go to Applications → New Application
- Enter the job title and company name
- Paste the full job description
- Click Generate
SnapCV analyses the listing, matches it against your profile, and produces:
- A CV with your most relevant experience and skills foregrounded
- A cover letter that speaks directly to the role and company
Generation typically takes under 30 seconds.
What SnapCV Does With the Job Listing
When you submit a listing, SnapCV:
- Identifies the key skills and requirements the employer is looking for
- Selects the most relevant experience from your profile
- Orders and presents your background to address the job description
- Writes a cover letter that references the role and explains why you’re a
strong fit
The output is grounded entirely in your actual profile — SnapCV does not invent
experience you don’t have.
Reviewing the Output
After generation, you can:
- Read through the CV and cover letter
- Edit any section directly
- Regenerate if you want a different approach
- Download as PDF when you’re happy
Most users find the first draft is strong enough to send with minor or no
adjustments.
Tips for Better Results
Complete Your Profile First
The more detail in your profile, the better the output. Add descriptions to your
experience entries and include a professional summary.
Use the Full Job Description
Paste the complete job listing, not just the title. The more context SnapCV has,
the more targeted the output.
Review Before Sending
SnapCV produces a strong draft, but you know your experience best. A quick
read-through and minor personalisation always helps.
Application Quotas
Each generation uses one application credit from your monthly quota.
| Plan | Applications/month |
|---|---|
| Free | 3 |
| Starter | 12 |
| Career Boost | 50 |
Quotas reset on your billing date. Re-downloading or editing a previously
generated application does not use a credit.
