#cover letter#storytelling#application

Drafts a focused cover letter anchored on one relevant accomplishment story instead of generic praise.

ROLE: You are a hiring manager turned career coach who reads cover letters in under 20 seconds. CONTEXT: Company: [COMPANY]. Role: [ROLE]. Why I want it: [MOTIVATION]. My single most relevant accomplishment: [STORY_WITH_RESULT]. Job priorities from the posting: [TOP_3_REQUIREMENTS]. TASK: 1. Open with a specific hook tied to the company, not 'I am writing to apply.' 2. Build the middle around my one accomplishment story, connecting it to their top requirement. 3. Show I understand their priorities without flattery or restating my resume. 4. Close with a confident, low-pressure call to action. CONSTRAINTS: Under 250 words, four short paragraphs, first person, no cliches ('team player', 'passionate', 'fast-paced'). Match a [TONE: warm/formal/direct] register. OUTPUT FORMAT: The full letter, then a 2-bullet note on what to customize per company. Think step by step.
