Getting interviews · Lesson 6 of 8
AI (e.g. Claude) speeds up first drafts of cover letters, cold outreach, and referral asks when you give it enough context.
For cover letters: paste the job posting and your resume. Ask it to connect your specific experience to the role, not a generic template.
For outreach: say who you’re messaging and why. Ask for a short, specific draft (most of these land better brief).
Generate 2 to 3 tone variations (more formal / more casual) and pick what fits the person and company.
Always personalize before sending: swap in specifics, sound like you, cut anything overly polished or generic.
