4 Steps to magical cover letters with ChatGPT
Are you tired of spending hours crafting cover letters that fail to make an impact? Do you wish there was a way to streamline the process and create compelling cover letters effortlessly? Look no further! In this blog article, I unveil a powerful 4-step approach that harnesses the capabilities of ChatGPT, an AI language model, to elevate your cover letter game and stand out in the competitive job market.
Let’s be honest, cover letter writing might not be everyone’s favorite task, but guess what? With the enchanting assistance of AI, we’re here to transform it into an enjoyable and rewarding experience!
Simply insert the following prompts in ChatGPT to start crafting your magical cover letter:
Based on the following job description, what prompts can I ask you to help gather my relevant experience? I am now pasting the job description: – insert job ad –
ATTENTION: Include/change the beginning of the job ad the company name, job title, source of posting, then copy & paste entire job ad & company info from website if not included in job ad
I now want you to answer those prompts for me, but I want you to answer them using my most relevant experience from my CV. I will now provide you with my CV.
ATTENTION: Post a LONG version of your CV – it can look ugly, include many bullet points per job focusing on quantified results.
- responsibilities 5-10 bullet points
- results up to 3
- learnings 1 or 2
From these 10 points, can you write a one page cover letter to the company, applying for the job in the provided job description.
Also state that I am interested in the company itself and the industry, which information you also find in the job description.
Use a professional, but not too formal tone of voice. Start with ‘Dear company name hiring team’, and end with ‘I am available for an interview at your convenience and am looking forward to meeting you.’
Now read and see what you like or don’t like – and try some optimisations. For example use prompts around:
- Include more about my success with xyz
- Rewrite *paragraph 1/2/3/4/5* as it sounds to *say whats wrong with it*
- Gender to me being female
- Change the tone of voice to be the one of *select relevant public figure/writer*
- Make it more confident, like I know I am the perfect candidate
- Include some creative writing using wordings from the realm of *sustainability/fashion/food*
- or anything you like to be change!
