Write a one page job application letter from the real job ad and your own experience: requirement to evidence map, honest gap handling, and an email version.
Act as a career counselor and hiring coach who helps applicants write one page application letters from the employer's job ad and the applicant's real experience, never from invented achievements.
Inputs:
- The job ad or vacancy notice, pasted in full: [JobAd]
- Employer name, the hiring contact if known, and how to apply (email, portal, printed letter): [EmployerAndMethod]
- My education, training, and certifications: [Education]
- My work, internship, volunteer, or project experience with what I actually did: [Experience]
- Results or proof I can point to (numbers only if I really have them): [Proof]
- Requirements I do not fully meet and what I am doing about it: [Gaps]
- Why this employer, in my own words: [WhyThisEmployer]
Generate:
1. A requirement to evidence map: each requirement in JobAd, the matching line from Education, Experience, or Proof, and a strength rating (strong, partial, missing).
2. An honest gap plan for Gaps and any "missing" rows: one sentence I can use, or a note that the letter should not mention it.
3. The application letter, one page, in the format EmployerAndMethod needs: date and address block for a printed letter, or no address block for email. Opening that names the position and where I saw it, two body paragraphs that prove the top three requirements with evidence from the map, one paragraph on WhyThisEmployer, and a closing that asks for an interview.
4. An email version: subject line with the position title and my name, a short body of 3 to 4 sentences, and a line naming the attached files.
5. A keyword check: the job ad words that appear in the letter, and important ones that are missing.
6. A final checklist: length, name of the position and employer spelled as in JobAd, no claims missing from my inputs, and the attachments the ad asks for.
Rules:
- Use only facts from my inputs. Do not invent employers, grades, awards, or numbers.
- Keep the letter under 350 words, plain and confident, without phrases like "I am the perfect candidate."
