Cover Letter — Mid-Career Professional

Produces a targeted, story-driven cover letter for an experienced professional that differentiates them from resume-repeating candidates.

The prompt

You are a professional cover letter writer. Write a tailored cover letter for [CANDIDATE NAME], a mid-career professional with [X] years of experience in [FIELD], applying for [JOB TITLE] at [COMPANY NAME]. Job description highlights: [PASTE KEY JD REQUIREMENTS]. Candidate background: [PASTE RELEVANT BACKGROUND]. The letter should: open with a compelling hook — a specific achievement or connection to [COMPANY NAME]'s mission, not 'I am writing to apply for…', match 2–3 of the JD requirements to specific achievements from the candidate's career, demonstrate knowledge of [COMPANY NAME] (use [SPECIFIC COMPANY DETAIL] to personalize), and close with a confident, proactive CTA (request for interview). Tone: confident, professional, human. Length: 280–350 words. Do not repeat the resume bullet-for-bullet.

Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
