Rewritten
Hi [Name], I recently applied for the UX Designer role and wanted to reach out directly. I've spent the past 4 years in product design, including leading a redesign that boosted conversion by 18% — and I'm genuinely excited about your team's design-forward approach to product. Would love to connect and hear more about the role if you have a few minutes. Thanks!
About this tool
A full cover letter is the wrong format for a LinkedIn message — nobody wants to open a connection request to find four paragraphs of formal prose. This tool compresses your existing cover letter down into a short, conversational message under 100 words, suitable for messaging a recruiter or hiring manager directly on LinkedIn after connecting. It's meant to be used after you already have a cover letter drafted (via job-posting-to-cover-letter or your own writing), as a lightweight companion for direct outreach rather than a formal application submission.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the message so much shorter than a cover letter?+
LinkedIn messages are read quickly and casually — a message the length of a cover letter is likely to be skipped. The tool deliberately keeps it under 100 words to match how people actually read on the platform.
Is the tone different from a cover letter?+
Yes, it's intentionally more conversational and direct than the formal tone of a cover letter, since it's meant for a networking-style message rather than a formal application document.
Should I still submit the full cover letter through the application portal?+
Yes — this message is a supplement for direct outreach, not a replacement for your formal application submission.
