The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Write a cover letter for an internal move. My current role, team, and tenure: [CURRENT_ROLE]. The target role and team: [TARGET_ROLE]. The hiring manager's name and what I know about their priorities: [HIRING_MANAGER_CONTEXT]. My achievements that relate to the target role: [RELEVANT_ACHIEVEMENTS]. Company norms about informing my current manager: [COMPANY_NORMS]. Structure the letter in four parts under 300 words: (1) a direct opening stating the role and why I am interested; (2) two or three accomplishments that prove I can do the job, with results; (3) what I know about the team's challenges and how I would contribute in the first 90 days; (4) a note on transition (willingness to hand over my work, timeline) and a clear close. Also give: a short message to my current manager to have the conversation before they hear it elsewhere; talking points for the internal interview (including "why leave your current team?" answered positively and honestly); a plan to gather references inside the company; and mistakes to avoid (criticizing the current team, assuming the manager knows my work, skipping the formal process). Use only facts I provided and mark gaps as [ADD DETAIL].
