Paste the job ad and your CV. Get a short cover letter that matches your real experience to what they asked for, with no made-up skills and no clichés.
- You paste
- Paste the job ad. The whole ad, including the bits that sound like filler. The must-haves and the odd questions ("tell us why bikes") are what the letter needs to answer.
- You get
- Gaps. No startup experience: it doesn't fake it, it points to learning new systems fast in customer service.
- When to use it
- Use it when an application is due, you have the job ad open in one tab and your CV in another, and every letter you start sounds like it could be for any job.
- When to skip it
- It only knows what's in your CV and the ad, so it can't research the company for you or know what the hiring team really wants. It won't invent skills or numbers. If you don't meet a must-have, it says so instead of hiding it.
