How Finnish cover letters work

Finnish recruiters read fast. A good letter is half a page to one page, plain and factual, and built in three parts:

1

Why this job

Your motivation for this role at this company, not a general "I love challenges".

2

Proof from your work

Two to four tasks from the job ad, each shown with a real example from your experience.

3

Short close

A relevant strength, when you can start, and that you'd like to discuss in an interview.

Write my cover letter

Takes about a minute. Your CV is only used to write your letter and is not stored.

Tip: include the company name and the "we are looking for" part.

      Questions

      Do I need a cover letter in Finland?

      Many Finnish job ads ask for a short application letter (työhakemus) or a few words about your motivation. Even when it's optional, a short letter matched to the job helps you stand out from people who only send a CV.

      How long should it be?

      Half a page to one page. Finnish recruiters prefer short, factual letters. Fovo keeps yours around 220–330 words.

      Finnish or English?

      Follow the job ad. If the ad is in Finnish or asks for Finnish, write in Finnish. If it's in English, English is fine.

      Will it make things up?

      No. The letter only uses what is in your CV. If the job asks for something your CV doesn't show, the letter won't claim it, and the preview tells you so.

      What if something goes wrong with the payment?

      Email info@fovo.fi with your receipt and we'll send your letter or a refund. See the refund policy.
