Cover letter prompt that sounds like you

Nov 3, 2026 · Writing Prompts

Prompt
Write a one-page cover letter for the role of [job title] at [company]. My background: [2 to 3 sentences]. Key skills: [list]. Keep a confident, warm tone, mention one specific reason I like the company, and avoid clichés.

Generic cover letters get ignored. The trick is to supply real details about yourself and a real reason for applying.

Why this prompt works

  • Your own background makes the letter specific.
  • A reason for the company shows genuine interest.
  • Avoid clichés stops phrases like "team player" from filling the page.
