How To Ask AI To Write Your Cover Letter:

1. Open your target job description and a copy of your resume

2. Head over to ChatGPT (you'll need to create a new account - it's free)

3. Copy / paste the following into the chat box: "Write me a personalized cover letter explaining why I'm a great candidate for this job. The job title is [Job Title], the company is [Company Name], and here is the job description: [Paste Job Description]"

4. ChatGPT is going to spin up a generic cover letter for you. Once that's finished, the magic begins. Now copy / paste the following into the chat box: "Revise and personalize this cover letter using my resume: [Paste Resume Content]"

Now watch ChatGPT write a completely original cover letter tailored to your target job description using your own experience. Pretty mind blowing, right?
