IMPORTANT: If when you click on the desktop shortcut for OneClick Cover Letters and a message states “The Program is Running” please look for the icon in your menu tray at the bottom of your screen.

Creating Your Letter
Open the software program or email open where you want to create the letter. Check to see the cursor is blinking in the program where you want to place the letter.

Choose the type of letter from the Groups listed in the window on the left.

Choose the letter from the letters window on the right.

Formal Option

The first Group is a “Formal” letter format that include the recipient’s name, company, and address at the top of the letter under the date. This is mostly for printed letters.

Email Option

The “Email” format letters do not include the recipient’s company and address at the top of the letter.

Note: While using the email format is advisable for email cover letters, also attaching the formal format version of the cover letter and your resume to the email is advisable. This is because some employers will print the cover letters of preferred candidates and this gives them the option to print a formal version of your cover letter- not just an email.

Custom Data Input Fields

When you have chosen your letter click the “Create” button. Fill in the custom Data Input fields as they open. If you have no information for a particular field such as the name of the recipient, click cancel and the next field window will open. (Be sure to proofread your letter for any blanks when you do not enter information in a field.)

If you do not have a name for the recipient of your letter you can;

Use a title when mentioned in the job posting or ad such as : Hiring Manager, HR Director, General Manager, etc.
or

Use a different word, for example: Employer.
or

Leave the field blank (by clicking cancel in the input field window.) When your letter is created, you may edit the introduction by eliminating “Dear” or replacing with another salutation.

The current date will automatically be created at the top of each letter.

After you have entered your information for the last field and click “OK” or “Enter” your letter should be automatically created and appear in the program you have open.

If your letter does not appear check to see the cursor is in the program placed where you want the letter. If needed, click in the workspace in that program where you want the letter. Then click the create button again. You might be asked if you want to clear the custom data for that letter: click “No.”

You can create the letter as many times as you like in as many different Word Processing or email programs as you need. OneClick Letters retains the custom data you have entered for a particular letter until:

You choose to clear the input fields.

You choose and create a different letter.

You exit the OneClick Letters program.

Note: OneClick Letters are created in the formats and font settings set in the open program in which the letters are placed.

The Preview Button
The purpose of the preview window is to help you choose the letter you want. Note: The letter does not appear in the preview window exactly as it will be created in your program or email. This is because your custom data has not yet been entered and the letter will use the formatting of the program where you create it.

Adding Your Signature
You can enter the information for your signature once and have this appear at the end of each letter.

Under the Setup tab at the top menu is the signature box.

Enter your signature, which should include:

Your name

Address and/or Email address

Phone Numbers

Your signature will automatically be created at the end of each letter.
You can edit or change your signature information at any time.
You can also of course edit or change the signature information in the program where you have created the letter for that particular letter.

Adding a PS or Postscript to Your Letter
To add a PS to the end of your letter:

Make sure you have the program and letter open you want to add the PS to. Make sure the cursor is blinking where you want to create the PS.

Choose the Postscript Group for your letter type from the Groups window on the left.

Then choose the Postscript you want to add from the postscripts in the right window.

Online Guide and Help
The “Online Guide” and “Help” buttons in the top menu bar are both only accessible online. This is done to make the most current and updated information available to you. The Online Guide offers information about when to use specific cover letters and postscripts and methods and techniques to help you land an interview.
