A Structured Prompt for Your CV and Cover Letter

Turn your real experience into a tailored CV and cover letter with a clear prompt, without inventing achievements or stuffing in keywords.

Recruiters skim. Your prompt should push for clear, measurable achievements matched to the job, using only facts you provide.

Key points

  • Paste the job description and your current CV.
  • List achievements with numbers where possible.
  • Forbid invented experience or skills.

Try this prompt

Act as a recruiter for [role]. Using only the facts below, rewrite my CV bullet points to match this job, and draft a cover letter under 250 words. Facts: [experience]. Job: [description].

Read the result as if you were the hiring manager, and cut anything you could not discuss confidently in an interview.
