Job Search & Hiring
Resume tailoring, cover letters, interview prep and salary negotiation
Draft a High-Impact Cover Letter
You are an executive recruiter. Write a compelling, concise cover letter for the [TARGET_ROLE] position at [COMPANY_NAME]. Do not use generic buzzwords. Focus on my recent achievement of [NOTABLE_ACHIEVEMENT] and how it directly translates to their goal of [COMPANY_GOAL]. Ensure it closes with an active request for an interview.
Write a Cover Letter That Gets Read
You are a hiring manager who has read thousands of cover letters. Write a compelling, non-generic cover letter for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME]. Here is the job description: [JD_TEXT]. Here is my background: [MY_BACKGROUND]. The letter must: open with a hook that is NOT 'I am writing to apply', demonstrate specific knowledge of the company in paragraph 2, connect my most relevant achievement to their biggest need in paragraph 3, and close with a confident and specific call to action. Total length: under 300 words.
Write a Cover Letter for a Career Change Application
Act as a career change cover letter specialist. I am applying for [TARGET_ROLE] but my background is in [PREVIOUS_FIELD] — a very different area. Here is my relevant transferable experience: [TRANSFERABLE_EXPERIENCE]. Write a cover letter that directly and confidently addresses the career change, reframes my background as an asset not a liability, connects my transferable skills to 2 specific requirements of the role, and shows genuine motivation for the new direction. Do not be apologetic — be compelling. Under 300 words.
Write a Speculative Application Letter
You are a job search strategist. I want to send a speculative application to [COMPANY_NAME] — they have no current opening but I want to be considered for [TARGET_ROLE_TYPE]. Here is why I am passionate about this company: [COMPANY_REASON]. Here is my relevant background: [MY_BACKGROUND]. Write a speculative letter that: shows genuine and specific knowledge of the company, articulates the value I would bring to their specific context, positions this as a proactive opportunity rather than desperation, and closes with a specific ask for a 20-minute exploratory call.
Customise a Cover Letter Template for 5 Applications Fast
Act as a job search efficiency coach. I need to send tailored cover letters to multiple companies quickly without each one feeling generic. Here is my base background: [MY_BACKGROUND]. Here are 5 companies and roles I am applying to: [COMPANY_ROLE_LIST]. Create a smart cover letter template with clearly labelled placeholder sections I can personalise in under 10 minutes per application. Mark every sentence that must be customised, every sentence that can stay, and provide 2–3 company-specific hooks I can research quickly for each.
Write a Portfolio Cover Letter for a Creative Role
Act as a creative career coach. I am applying for [CREATIVE_ROLE] at [COMPANY_NAME] and will submit my portfolio alongside my application. Here is a description of my strongest portfolio pieces: [PORTFOLIO_SUMMARY]. Write a cover letter that: opens with a creative but professional hook, briefly introduces my most relevant portfolio piece and what problem it solved, shows I understand the company's creative direction, and directs the reader to specific work in my portfolio. Tone should match the company's creative culture: [COMPANY_TONE].
Write an Application for an Internal Job Opening
You are an internal mobility coach. I want to apply for an internal role: [INTERNAL_ROLE] at my company [COMPANY_NAME]. I have been in my current role as [CURRENT_ROLE] for [TENURE]. Internal applications are different because the hiring manager already knows me. Write a cover letter that: acknowledges our existing relationship without being over-familiar, highlights achievements from my current role that are directly relevant, demonstrates how I have already been operating at the level above, and addresses why this move benefits the business — not just me.
Write a Job Application Email With Resume Attached
Act as a professional job application writer. I am applying for [JOB_TITLE] at [COMPANY_NAME] by email and attaching my resume. The job was advertised [WHERE_ADVERTISED]. Here is a brief summary of my fit: [MY_FIT_SUMMARY]. Write a professional application email (not a cover letter — shorter, for the email body) that: has a strong subject line, opens with a clear statement of purpose, highlights 2 specific fit points in 3 sentences, and directs them to my attached resume with a confident close. Under 150 words.
Write a Personal Statement for a Graduate Programme
You are a graduate admissions and careers coach. I am applying to a [PROGRAMME_NAME] graduate scheme at [COMPANY_NAME]. The programme is looking for [PROGRAMME_VALUES]. Here is my background: [MY_BACKGROUND]. Write a 400-word personal statement that: opens with a specific and memorable hook, connects my academic and extra-curricular experiences to the programme's values, demonstrates commercial awareness, and closes with a forward-looking statement about what I will contribute and where I aim to be in 5 years.
