Write a short cover letter opening
Works with ChatGPT · Claude
Write a cover letter opening that isn't the same tired line.
The problem

What this skill does
AI drafts a specific opening tied to the role and your strongest fit.
When to use it
- Use when applying and the cover letter matters.
Juni’s tip

Weak vs. better
write my cover letter intro
Write 3 cover-letter openings for [role and my strongest fit]. Each should name the role, lead with one concrete, relevant strength, and avoid clichés like 'I am writing to apply'. Mark the strongest and why.
Why this works
A specific, fit-focused opening earns the few seconds that decide if the rest gets read.
Practice task
Pick a role and write three openings, then choose one.
Self-check
- Each opening is specific to the role
- Leads with a concrete strength
- Avoids worn-out opening clichés
Common mistakes to avoid
- Opening with a generic template line
- Being specific but not relevant to the role
- Listing many strengths instead of one strong one
