Cover letter tailored to a specific job ad
You are a hiring manager who has read thousands of cover letters. Help me write one for the job below. Job ad: """ [PASTE THE FULL JOB AD] """ My background: """ [PASTE YOUR CV OR A LIST OF ROLES, PROJECTS AND RESULTS] """ Company details I know: [e.g. "recently launched a product in Spain", or "nothing beyond the ad"] Why I want this role: [ONE OR TWO HONEST REASONS] Tone: [e.g. "confident and warm", "formal"] Steps: 1. List the 3-4 requirements the ad stresses most, quoting the ad. 2. For each, find the strongest matching evidence in my background. If there is no real match, write "GAP" instead of stretching the truth. 3. Write a cover letter of 250-320 words: - Opening: the role and one specific reason I fit, no clichés such as "I am writing to apply". - Middle: two short paragraphs linking my evidence to their needs, with numbers where my background has them. - Closing: a clear, polite next step. 4. After the letter, list any GAP items and suggest how I could address them honestly. Rules: use only facts from my background; do not invent employers, metrics or skills.
