Write a cover letter for a [ROLE] position at [COMPANY NAME]. Requirements:

3. Body paragraph 2: Explain specifically why I want to work at THIS company (not a generic 'I admire your culture')
4. Closing: Confident call to action
5. Tone: Professional but not stiff — conversational confidence, not corporate jargon
6. Length: 200-300 words

Cover letters still matter — a 2025 survey found that 54% of hiring managers consider cover letters important in their decision, and a customized cover letter increases interview probability by approximately 30%. But AI-generated cover letters that sound like AI are actively harmful. This prompt is engineered to produce human-sounding output by banning AI clichés and requiring company-specific details.

💡 Pro Tips

• 83% of recruiters can identify unedited AI-generated cover letters — the key is AI-assisted, not AI-generated
• Always manually rewrite the opening paragraph — it's where AI clichés are most noticeable
• The company-specific paragraph is the most important — generic praise of the company is worse than no cover letter
