Cover Letter Audit Against a Job Posting

Map letter claims to what the employer asked for.

Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Review my cover letter against the job posting. Letter: [COVER_LETTER]. Posting with required and preferred qualifications: [JOB_POSTING]. My resume: [RESUME_TEXT].

List each requirement in the posting, say where the letter addresses it, and mark it covered, thin or missing. Check that the letter adds a story or reason the resume cannot, avoids repeating the resume line by line, and does not claim anything the resume does not support.

Return a coverage table with Requirement, Evidence in letter, Strength and Fix, an overall verdict in red, amber or green, and a revised closing paragraph. Do not invent experience; use [ADD EXAMPLE] to mark where I should supply one.

Rank the requirements by how prominent the posting makes them, and check that the letter spends its words in the same proportion. Highlight any phrase copied directly from the posting, which can read as lazy, and replace it with evidence in my own words, drawn only from the resume I supplied.

Fill in before use

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own details, then paste into Any AI or another assistant.

Coverage table (invented posting: operations coordinator)
Requirement: scheduling across sites. Evidence in letter: none. Strength 2. Fix: add the rota project.
Requirement: supplier communication. Evidence: one sentence. Strength 5.
Requirement: spreadsheet reporting. Evidence: strong example, weekly stock report. Strength 8.
Requirement: team leadership. Evidence: missing; marked [ADD EXAMPLE].
Verdict: amber. The letter repeats the resume's job titles line by line; replace paragraph two with one story about the stock report and what changed.
Revised closing: "I can start on 1 March and would welcome a conversation about the next steps."
