Hirecarta 1.2.21 - cover letter improvement
-
I did deep research on modern cover letters and there is general consensus that the 3-paragraph format is ideal.
First paragraph is an attention grabber and connects some significant accomplishment to the job title.
Second paragraph is expanding on why you are a great fit.
Third paragraph is a strong closing and expresses enthusiasm for the role without being cliche.
Please give me feedback below on your thoughts and results!

I do like the 3-paragraph format. My main concern is that the cover letter generated is standardized. I tried regenerating a few letters and they pretty much started the same.
One thing I think would be helpful is adding notes on what we want to include in the letter. For example, when I'm apply to roles that are adjacent to my background/degree, I would put in a few sentences that explain how my degree is "related". I found out that it was needed after being at job fairs and having to explain to recruiters what exactly my degree entails and if anything, I went much deeper in the requirements than they are asking for.
Also, I wouldn't mind being able to upload a cover I liked, then having that tweaked. -
