The Prompt
Write a cover letter for [ROLE] at [COMPANY].

JOB DESCRIPTION: [JOB_DESCRIPTION]
MY BACKGROUND: [BACKGROUND]
WHY THIS COMPANY: [WHY_THEM]

Rules:
- Under 300 words
- Open with something specific about the role or company. Never "I am writing to apply for".
- The middle is ONE story from [BACKGROUND] that maps onto the hardest part of [JOB_DESCRIPTION]. Not a list.
- Address the obvious gap in my background directly and briefly, without apologising
- Close with what I want to do there, not with gratitude for their time
- No adjectives about myself. Show it or cut it.

If [WHY_THEM] is generic, tell me — a letter that could go to any company reads as one that did.
Variables — replace these:
[ROLE]· The job title [COMPANY]· The company [JOB_DESCRIPTION]· Paste the posting [BACKGROUND]· Your relevant experience [WHY_THEM]· Why this company specifically
