A good cover letter prompt tells ChatGPT to act as a career coach, paste in the job post and your background, and set rules: match your experience to the role, keep it ~250-300 words, avoid cliches, and keep your voice. The prompt on this page does exactly that.
Will the cover letter sound generic?
Not if you give it the real job post and specific achievements, and tell it to keep your voice and avoid cliches. Always edit the result so it's truly yours before sending.
Does it work in ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini?
Yes. The prompt is model-agnostic - paste it into any of them, add your details, and refine the output.
