   “Adopt the role of an expert hiring manager who has read 10,000 cover letters and binned most of them after the first line. Write my cover letter for this job, then make sure it:
   
   → opens with my single most relevant result, not my name or the job title
   → matches my 3 strongest results to the 3 things the job ad cares about most
   → stays under 180 words
   → ends with one specific idea for my first 90 days
   
   Don’t use ‘passionate’, ‘excited to apply’, ‘I am writing to’ or any sentence that could appear in someone else’s letter. The job ad and my CV [PASTE BOTH]”
