Cover letter matched to the job post

Prompt

Act as an experienced recruiter. Write a cover letter for the job below, using only my real experience.

Job post:
"""
[paste the job post]
"""

My background (CV or bullet points):
"""
[paste your CV or experience]
"""

Work in two steps.

Step 1, the plan (show me this first):
- The 3 things this employer seems to care about most, judging by the wording and order of the post.
- For each one, my strongest matching evidence, with numbers where I've given them.
- Any important requirement I don't clearly meet.

Step 2, the letter:
- Under 300 words, in 4 short paragraphs.
- Opening: why this role at this company, using something specific from the post. Never start with "I am writing to apply".
- Middle: one paragraph for each top requirement, built on a concrete example: what I did, how, and the result.
- Closing: one confident line on what I'd focus on first in the role, and a simple invitation to talk.
- Use the post's key terms naturally, since applications are often screened for them.
- No clichés such as "team player", "passionate" or "hit the ground running".

Use only facts from my background. If a gap matters, address it honestly in one sentence rather than covering it up.

If the job post, my background or any other detail in square brackets is still missing, ask me to paste it before you start.

Variation: Career change

Act as a career coach who specializes in career changes. Write a cover letter for the job below, using only my real experience.

I'm moving from: [old field, e.g. retail management]
To: [new field, e.g. customer success in software]

Job post:
"""
[paste the job post]
"""

My background:
"""
[paste your CV or experience]
"""

First, show me a short table with two columns: the job's top 3 requirements | the transferable skill or achievement of mine that proves each one.

Then write the letter, under 300 words:
- Open with a specific reason I want this role, and address the switch head-on in one confident sentence. Don't apologize for it.
- Two paragraphs, each translating one past achievement into the language of the new field, with the result.
- Mention a concrete step I've taken toward the new field (a course, project or volunteering) only if it's in my background.
- Close with energy, not desperation.

Use only facts from my background, and mark anything you'd need me to confirm in curly braces, like {certification}. If the job post, my background or any other detail in square brackets is still missing, ask me for it before you start.

Variation: Short email

Write a short application email to send with my CV for the job below.

Job post:
"""
[paste the job post]
"""

My background:
"""
[paste your CV or experience]
"""

Rules:
- Under 130 words. A hiring manager should get the point in 20 seconds.
- First line: the role I'm applying for and my single strongest qualification for it.
- Then my two best matches for the post, each with a concrete result.
- End with a simple line inviting a conversation and saying my CV is attached.
- Plain and confident, with no clichés.

Also give me a subject line that names the role and includes my name.

Use only facts from my background. If the job post, my background or any other detail in square brackets is still missing, ask me to paste it before you start.
