If you're using ChatGPT to write your cover letter I am BEGGING you to do two things.
1. Tell ChatGPT to make sure the Cover Letter ISNT Yappy and for it to sound Human without sacrificing Professionalism. This will remove that AI sounding Fluff.
2. Please tell it to change up the sentence structure. Human beings are very inconsistent with their sentence lengths. It changes as the paragraph goes on.
Copy and Paste the JD into ChatGPT and use this prompt:
As a Job Hopper, I was never afraid of an Interviewer asking me about my Job Hopping.
I actually looked forward to it.
I always had to prepare myself for how to answer questions as to why I did.
Here’s what I would say and I invite you to use this script for your own benefit.
“Throughout my career, each transition has been a strategic step, chosen not just for the role itself, but for the unique opportunities and challenges it presented for personal and professional growth.
For example, moving from a tech startup to a non-profit allowed me to leverage my technical skills in a completely new context, broadening my problem-solving abilities and understanding of diverse organizational cultures.
You got the interview because you’re qualified. Now your job in the interview is to appear confident, reliable and MEMORABLE. Here are the top 5 ways to ensure you stand out in the hiring manager’s mind:
1. When asked "tell me about yourself" use a unique identifier and a unique verb
Example: I consider myself a flexible solution finder. I began as a curious coder, crafting user experiences. Beyond product strategy, I'm an avid scuba diver, finding creativity in serenity.
2. Say why you want the role but also why you deserve it
Why you want it = motivation
Why you deserve it = evidence (examples from your work experience)
I've observed a concerning trend among us where many of us tend to misclassify our work experience, thereby diminishing our career journeys and accomplishments.
I want to share a quick PSA and give some game to let everyone know that if you have more than 3 years of experience in your career, you should no longer consider yourself as a Junior.
Whether you're a Developer, Recruiter, Project Manager, or Analyst, if you believed you fell under the Junior category, it's time to readjust your perception because you're actually at an Intermediate level.
