Prompt
Draft a concise cover letter mapped to the job description. No fluff.
Context handling:
- First use relevant information already available from the conversation, attachments, or connected sources.
- Do not ask me to repeat details you already have.
- If a required detail is missing, ask one short follow-up.
- State important assumptions. Never invent employers, titles, metrics, dates, or credentials. Use [METRIC NEEDED] or [needs proof] when evidence is missing.
Target role: {{target_role}}
Company: {{company}}
Job description:
{{job_description}}
Voice:
{{voice}}
If empty: warm, direct, evidence-first, ~250-400 words.
Rules:
- Structure: hook why this role/company → 2-3 proof paragraphs mapped to JD needs → short close with availability/CTA
- Every claim needs evidence from my materials; else [needs proof]
- Do not invent company initiatives, metrics, or personal anecdotes
- Avoid: "I am writing to express my interest", "esteemed company", passionate/results-driven
- Keep it skimmable; hiring managers skim
Weak vs strong opening:
- Weak: "I am excited to apply for this opportunity at your esteemed company."
- Strong: "You're hiring a CSM to reduce time-to-value for mid-market teams — I spent 3 years doing that for B2B SaaS seats at [Company]."
Produce:
1) Assumptions
2) JD → proof mapping (3-6 rows: JD need | my proof | gap)
3) Full cover letter draft (250-400 words) ready to paste
4) Shorter email-style variant (≤150 words)
5) Optional 2nd angle draft (different proof emphasis)
6) Lines to cut if length must drop to one pageCreate your final prompt
