How to Write a Convincing Cover Letter for Any Job Position With ChatGPT

Does looking for a new job and sending out resumes need to be a tedious task?

Not always.

I make it easier by automating some of its stages.

Let’s take writing cover letters.

Every time I apply for a job at a different company, I have to write a new letter and try to make it well-fitted for that exact job position.

So, then I thought…

Why not have a framework that will be applicable to any job position, and then I can just slightly alter it if needed to add some personal touch?

To make the process as smooth and effective as possible I decided to use ChatGPT.

What Are the Most Common Mistakes?

To make my cover letter sound convincing, I try to remember a few things:

• Avoiding summarizing my resume – the purpose of the letter is to exactly pinpoint which of my assets fit the chosen job position, not to repeat what is already included in the resume attachment.

  
  

• Making it personal– Although the tone I use is formal, I try to avoid pompous vocabulary or expressions that might make my letter look artificial or just copy-pasted from another application.
  

• Giving examples - I not only name my most significant job experience but also provide the exact skill examples that helped me excel in my tasks in the past.

  
  

• Stating the value - I remember to mention future professional goals and make them relevant and valuable for the company that is hiring.

Final Touches and Conclusions

ChatGPT tends to use pompous vocabulary which, in my opinion, makes the text sound artificial and overly excited. To make sure I sound genuine, I altered the final version just a little bit.

I write this command:

Now exchange all pompous adjectives and expressions into simple, yet convincing vocabulary items and phrases. Do not change the meaning of the sentences and keep the rest of the content same.

And this is my final version:
