Write a Standout Cover Letter

5. Resumes, Cover Letters & Career Tools ⏱ 20 minutes min 📊 Beginner

Objective

Draft a personalized, genuine-sounding cover letter for a specific job.

1

Provide the AI with your resume summary and the job posting.
2

Prompt: 'Write a 3-paragraph cover letter connecting my experience to this specific role, in a warm but professional tone.'
3

Ask the AI to avoid generic phrases like 'I am a hard worker' and use specific examples instead.
4

Edit the letter to add one personal detail only you would know (why this company, a specific project you admire).
5

Proofread together as a class for tone and authenticity.

Instructor TipHave students add at least one sentence the AI could not have written — this keeps letters from sounding identical.

TakeawayAI handles the structure and polish; your personal detail is what makes the letter memorable to a hiring manager.
