Teal AI Cover Letter Generator: Product Update
Education
Introduction
Hello everyone, Liam from Teal here! Today, I’m excited to share a fantastic update to our cover letter generator found within the resumé builder. If you’ve been following us for a while, you might remember our AI achievement assistant received a significant overhaul a couple of months ago, which led to better results and more control. Now, I’m thrilled to announce that all those excellent improvements have been integrated into the cover letter tab as well.
Exploring the New Features
Let’s go through a quick example to see how these enhancements work. We begin our journey in the resumé builder and navigate over to the cover letter tab. The first step is to specify the job for which you are crafting the cover letter. For demonstration purposes, we’ll use a position for a Marketing Lead at Tesla.
You can easily switch to a different role by clicking on the "switch job" option and assigning a new job from ones you’ve saved using our Chrome extension. Once you've set the job, it’s time to click on "Write with AI."
Customization Options
Here’s where the real improvements come in. The first new option you’ll notice is the length of the cover letter. You can now choose a short, medium, or long cover letter based on word count. This flexibility ensures you get the output that fits your exact needs.
Next, we move onto specifying the tone of the cover letter. Since a cover letter is typically more personal and narrative-driven compared to a resumé, you can opt for a casual tone for relaxed language. Alternatively, if you're applying for a senior position or if the company culture is more formal, you can select a formal tone. There’s also an option to match the tone to the job description, where the tool will automatically select the best fit for you.
In the job description tab, you can pick specific items from the job description that you'd like the AI to focus on. This ensures that the generated content highlights your relevant experience. The idea is to align your application materials with what the company explicitly seeks in candidates.
After selecting your desired options, you can click apply, and the tool will generate a new cover letter based on your choices.
Refining Your Cover Letter
The generated output should be viewed as a draft. You can always go in and make adjustments to ensure that it reflects your voice and that any specific metrics or personal details are accurate. Moreover, you can enhance your cover letter further by utilizing the custom prompt feature. For instance, you might want to add a personal touch by stating your 7+ years of marketing experience. Simply input that into the custom prompts, hit apply, and see how seamlessly it gets integrated into your cover letter.
Conclusion
These updates to the cover letter generator aim to provide you with more robust tools for crafting your application materials while saving you significant time in the process. We genuinely hope that these features enhance the way you create cover letters and provide you with better outcomes.
Thanks for taking the time to watch this update! We invite you to share any questions or feedback in the comments below. Wishing you a fantastic week ahead, and until next time, take care!
