  • I'm mildly against chatgpt, but am in the market for a new job and am considering it to write cover letters, then bastardise the output, any tips for getting a good starting point?
    Or just punch in the JD and say "write me a cover letter and try to put the word haddock in"?
    (I don't know why I want the word haddock in, just trying to fuck with the algorithm)

  • Try multiple iterations, make in flight adjustments, make it specific to the role, give prompts as to tone, complexity, level (e.g. eli5, high school leaver, PhD graduate).

    A starting point is just "write a 200 word covering letter for this role (paste the role), for this candidate (paste your CV), highlighting the haddock experience"

    For rewrites, start a new chat, and tell it to rewrite the output from a different chat.

  • Interested in your suggestion to start a new chat for rewrite prompts - not something I've seen suggested before re refining existing responses, have you found this gets better results?
