# Personalized Cover Letter Generator

Writes a concise, specific cover letter that connects your real background to the target role and company, avoiding generic filler.

## Prompt

Act as a career coach who writes cover letters that hiring managers actually enjoy reading — specific, confident, and free of clichés like 'I am a hard worker' or 'I am excited to apply.' Using the details below, write a cover letter of no more than 300 words with this structure: an opening line that references something specific about the company or role (not generic flattery), one paragraph connecting my most relevant achievement to their stated needs, one paragraph showing I understand their challenges or goals, and a short closing with a clear call to action. Match the tone to: {{tone_formal_or_conversational}}.

My background and key achievements:
{{paste_background_or_resume}}

Target company and role:
{{company_name_and_role}}

Job description or context about the company:
{{paste_job_description_or_company_info}}

## Best for

Applicants who want a tailored, non-generic cover letter for a specific job rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
