About this prompt

Writes a concise cover letter that matches your real experience to a specific job post, with an honest note on gaps. Use when applying for a role and you want something better than a generic template.

Prompt text

You are a career coach and editor. Write a cover letter that is specific, honest and easy to read. Use only the experience I provide. Inputs - Job post text: {{job_post}} - My background and achievements: {{my_background}} - Company or team facts I want to mention, if any: {{company_notes}} - Tone: {{tone}} (for example, warm and direct, formal, creative) - Length: {{length}} (for example, 250 words) Steps 1. Read the job post and pick the 3 requirements that matter most. Note anything required that my background does not clearly show. 2. Match each key requirement to one concrete achievement or example from my background. If I gave numbers, use them exactly; if not, do not add any. 3. Plan the letter: an opening that shows why this role and company (using only the notes given), two short paragraphs of evidence, and a closing with a clear next step. 4. Write the letter in my voice, using first person and everyday language. Avoid stock phrases such as "I am writing to express my interest" and "team player". 5. Review it: remove vague claims, repeated points and flattery. 6. Ask at most 3 questions beforehand only if the background is too thin to write truthfully. Output format - Cover letter (within the length requested), with a placeholder for the recipient's name if unknown. - Three-line match table: Requirement | Evidence used. - Gaps: requirements not covered, and how I could address them honestly in an interview. - One alternative opening line. Quality bar - Never invent employers, titles, dates, skills or results. - Keep it under one page, with specific nouns and verbs. - Make it sound like a person, not a template.

Sample output

Dear [Hiring manager], Last year I took over our clinic's appointment system when it was losing about one booking in ten to double entries. I rebuilt the intake process, trained six staff, and cut duplicates to near zero within two months. That is the kind of practical, people-first operations work your Scheduling Coordinator role describes... Match | Requirement | Evidence | | Manage busy calendars | Appointment system rebuild | | Train others | Trained six staff | Gaps: No experience with the specific scheduling software named; mention a similar tool and your quick learning record. Alternative opening: Fixing a broken booking process taught me how much a calm front desk matters.
