Tips for a stronger AI-generated cover letter

Before generating:

• Paste the complete JD, not just the job title
• Ensure your resume has detailed bullet points since the AI draws from these
• Choose the tone that matches the company culture

The AI avoids common mistakes automatically:

• Never starts with I am writing to apply for
• Never uses words like passionate about or I am thrilled
• Never repeats your resume word for word
• Always stays under 350 words

After generating, consider editing these:

1. Add the hiring manager name if you know it
2. Add one specific personal detail about why this particular company appeals to you
3. If you have a referral, mention it in the first line since this doubles callback rates

For Indian job applications:

• Formal tone works best for FAANG, MNCs, consulting, and banking
• Conversational works well for product companies and tech startups
• For traditional Indian conglomerates like Tata or Reliance, use Formal

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Do not just summarise your resume in the letter
• Do not make it longer than one page
• Do not mention salary expectations
• Do not use generic phrases like team player or detail-oriented
