A cover letter works best when it fits the job. A general letter feels flat. A matched one stands out.

You still keep your own voice. ChatGPT just helps you aim it. The letter still sounds like you.

  1. Open ChatGPT in your web browser.
  2. Paste the job posting.
  3. Paste your current cover letter.
  4. Ask it to match the letter to the job.
  5. Read the new version and make it sound like you.
A message you can copy
