Cover Letter Mapped to a Job Description

Write a one-page cover letter that a hiring manager can skim in 30 seconds and still see proof. INPUTS Job description: [PASTE JD] My background: [PASTE RESUME OR 8 BULLETS — roles, metrics, tools] Role I want: [TITLE] at [COMPANY] Tone: [DIRECT | WARM | TECHNICAL] Career gap, pivot, or constraint to handle honestly: [NONE | DESCRIBE] METHOD 1) Extract the 4 outcomes the JD repeats. Ignore perk fluff. 2) Match each outcome to ONE proof point from my background. If I do not have a proof point, do not invent one — say what adjacent evidence I do have, or omit. 3) Open with the outcome I am best positioned to own, not "I am excited to apply." 4) One short paragraph on why this company, using a specific product, customer, or public decision — [FACT I CAN VERIFY]. If I left this blank, ask me for it instead of fabricating a compliment. 5) Close with a concrete next step and my availability. OUTPUT - Letter, 250–350 words, first person, no cliches ("passionate self-starter", "synergy", "I would be a great fit" with no evidence) - A 3-bullet "why you" version for a LinkedIn Easy Apply box (under 600 characters) - A note listing any JD requirement I did not address, so I can decide whether to add evidence Do not exaggerate titles, invent metrics, or claim I used a tool that is not in my background.
