Check that the pivot is explained and proved.

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 for a career change. Letter: [COVER_LETTER]. My previous field and the new one: [FIELDS]. Evidence of preparation (courses, projects, volunteering): [PREPARATION].

Check that the reason for change is stated in a sentence, that transferable skills are shown with examples, that preparation is concrete, and that the letter does not apologise for lack of experience. Flag claims that a hiring manager might see as stretching.

Return a rubric score from 1 to 10 for motivation, proof, honesty and focus, three lines to cut, and a rewritten middle paragraph that presents the move as a strength using only what I supplied.

Add a final test: read the letter as a sceptical hiring manager and write the doubt each paragraph would raise in one sentence, then check whether the next sentence answers it. Suggest one small proof, such as a project or short course, that I could complete before applying to strengthen the case.
