    "In a moment I am going to ask you to generate a cover letter for me. However before that I want you to ask me any further questions that you need answered to help improve the quality of the output. My name is (name here), my address is (address), the company's address is (company address), and the job title is (job title).
    
    This is the job posting:
    (Paste the entire job posting here)
    

    I have that whole thing in notepad filled out, copy paste the entire job posting in, then copy paste that whole thing to chatgpt.

    It’ll then prompt you with a bunch of extra common questions you can answer to help flesh the cover letter out, you answer what you can, and it’ll generate.

    Make sure to do a final pass cause it’ll hallucinate sometimes, and you can hit the regenerate button if needed if it hallucinated too bad.

    Main hallucination to watch for is it just shoving extra facts in there that you didn’t supply. “I have an engineering degree” or whatever when you never told you you did lol.

      Oh, well sure, obviously not mechanical engineering, I’m a cocktail engineer! Wouldn’t lie on an application, right?
