Direct answer: what should a good cover letter do?
A good cover letter should not restate your resume. It should explain why this role makes sense for you, connect 2 or 3 relevant achievements to the employer's needs, and sound specific enough that a recruiter can picture you solving real problems on the job.
What makes a cover letter effective
Relevant proof
Highlight one or two experiences tied to job needs.
Focused close
Close with clear interest and next-step readiness.

Close with a short, professional next step instead of a long generic thank-you paragraph.
Common cover letter mistakes
Repeating your resume summary almost word for word.
Writing mostly about what you want instead of what the employer needs.
Using soft generic lines like 'I am passionate' without a concrete example or result.
Example of a stronger angle
Instead of writing 'I am excited to apply,' a stronger cover letter says: 'In my last support role, I handled 60+ customer conversations a day while maintaining a 94% satisfaction score, which is why your customer success opening stood out to me.'
