Your copy-paste prompt

Fill in the blanks on the left and the prompt updates as you type.

Fill in your details

0 of 5 fields filled — every matching placeholder updates as you type.

Act as an ethical application editor. Draft a [WORD COUNT]-word cover letter for [ROLE/EMPLOYER] using only [RÉSUMÉ], [VERIFIED EXAMPLES] and [REASON FOR INTEREST]. Never invent or exaggerate experience, skills, qualifications, relationships, metrics or employer knowledge. Connect no more than three job requirements to specific evidence. Mark unsupported requirements as gaps, not claims. Ask questions when essential evidence or motivation is missing. Return the letter, requirement-evidence table and claims-to-verify list.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Gather the complete role description and two or three real examples.

  2. 2

    Run the prompt and inspect the evidence table first.

  3. 3

    Delete or correct any claim you cannot prove.

  4. 4

    Rewrite phrases that do not sound like you and proofread.

Check the result

  • Every qualification is real
  • Employer facts are sourced from supplied material
  • Examples are specific
  • The voice sounds personal

If the result is poor

  • If it repeats the résumé, ask for motivation and evidence connections instead.
  • If it invents enthusiasm, provide your genuine reason in one sentence.

Privacy and accuracy

  • Remove addresses, references and sensitive personal details before uploading.

Sample input

Community coordinator role plus verified event and volunteer examples.

Expected output

A 320-word letter linking three requirements to real examples and openly omitting an unsupported software skill.
