A Customized Cover Letter Generation System using LaTeXWhen applying for faculty positions in academia, I wanted to generate a cover letter customized for each school based on their advertisements. However, I also wanted to apply to a lot of schools. So, this is a set of Perl scripts that I created to help automate the process using LaTeX. These scripts are easily adaptable to industry positions as well. Here is an example (using my alma mater) of what the final cover letter looks like with the packages I have used. Here is the LaTeX source ( TXT link ) for the example and the logo image . In addition to customizing the cover letter address and some of the text, these scripts also generate HTML files to help you track where you and your letter of recommendation writers should send stuff and what schools have acknowledged receipt of your application (and which have sent rejection letters). Also, it allows you to merge the cover letter with your vitae, research statement, teaching statement, list of references, and (if applicable) representative publications into one PDF file (which some schools require/prefer). Note: these are meant for people familiar with LaTeX and Perl since you'll probably have to hack them a little to customize them exactly how you want them. - Latexmk : A Perl script that makes the LaTeX generation easier.
- newlfm : A LaTeX package for generating letters with letterhead.
- Multivalent : A JAR file that merges PDF files into one.
- Your Research Statement
- Your Teaching Statement
- Your List of References. One list for each discrete number of references required. If some schools require three references and some require four, then you would have two separate PDF files: one with the list of three references that you wish to use and one with the list of four references that you wish to use. Alternatively, you could just use the maximum number of references for each school (regardless of how many they ask for) and use that one PDF file.
- Your Representative Publications
These scripts are provided under the GNU General Public License . I have tried to add some comments to help those who want to modify the files for their own customization. Related Pages- Create a Curriculum Vitae Using LaTeX
- LaTeX HOWTOs
- cover_example.pdf : An example PDF of what my cover letter looked like using the system.
- generate_ack_list.pl : Generates a HTML file of which schools have acknowledged receipt of your application, which are outstanding, and which have sent rejection letters.
- generate_application_info.pl : Generates a HTML file of how you should send your application to each school (e.g., email, online, or postal) and the address to use.
- generate_cover_letters.pl : Generates the LaTeX file for a customized cover letter for each school and then runs the commands to make a PDF file.
- generate_job_packets.pl : Merges your customized cover letter PDF with existing PDFs of your CV, list of references, research statement, teaching statement, and (if applicable) representative publications.
- generate_lor_info.pl : Generates a HTML file of how your letter of recommendation writers should send your application to each school (e.g., email, online, or postal) and the address to use. You can then forward this file to each of your references.
- generate_school_count.pl : Prints to the screen the number of schools to which you are applying.
- generate_school_list.pl : Generates a HTML file that lists the names of all the schools to which you are applying. You can send it to friends and family to impress them. :)
- Schools.pm : The file which holds the hash table of all the information necessary to use the other files. I have included an example in the file with comments on what each hash keys represents.
- Find the information required by the Schools.pm file for each department to which you wish to apply (e.g., by finding faculty position advertisements on department websites) and type it into the file. This is probably the most time consuming part if you plan to apply to a lot of schools.
- Write your cover letter by changing the text in generate_cover_letters.pl . I have left the text of my cover letter in the file as an example. Please do not just copy my exact template. Your cover letter should be personalized for your background and goals.
- Hack the scripts to customize them according to your needs and generate your batch of job packets!
Get the Reddit appWiki has been Updated! A space for data science professionals to engage in discussions and debates on the subject of data science. LaTeX for cover letters?Context: I am in the process of applying for my first data science job(s). I have written a cover letter in LaTeX which someone proof-read for me. This person has a lot of experience in business (and was very successful) but not anything science-y. The job I'm in the process of applying for was advertised via a recruiter. Problem: The proof-reader stated that I should re-write the cover letter in Word as it "looks better" and recruiters will prefer that as it's something they recognise. I disagree on the first point (but I guess it's subjective) but don't know what to think on the second point. So my question is, should a cover letter be in LaTeX or Word? I doubt it matters but just in case, I'm in the UK. Edit: In case it wasn't clear (which apparently it wasn't), I'll of course be compiling the LaTeX into a PDF.

How do I insert a front/cover page in my latex document?I want to use a front/cover page from my university in my paper, but I'm not quite sure how to do it. The website which you can download it from tells me that I have to download ku-cover.zip and extract it in TEXMF\tex\latex and afterwards update the package overview. I use MiKTeX + Texstudios but I just cannot figure out how to make it work. I can't find that folder anywhere? Here's the website in case you wanna try for yourself: Website with cover-page - Welcome to TeX.SX! You might want to read the existing posts about installing a custom package. See: tex.stackexchange.com/q/1137/124577 – TeXnician Commented Jan 5, 2018 at 17:05
- Well, actually, you don't need to download anything to add a custom cover page made by you to your thesis. However, it seems that your university already has a format that you should download and put into the appropriate directory within your LaTeX installation. In Windows you have to go to the control panel and inside C: you must find in Files and programs , the appropriate directory where to place it. Read the answer to which you have been redirected and you will have it clearer. – Aradnix Commented Jan 5, 2018 at 18:26
- 1 TEXMF is a variable and not the actual name of a folder. The variable contains the path to the appropriate folder (at least on Linux, I never installed LaTeX on a Windows machine). If it's not a variable it still is a placeholder for a path and not a folders name by itself. – Skillmon Commented Jan 5, 2018 at 18:43
2 Answers 2The content of file ku-cover.zip can simply copied into a new directory, for example ku-cover . Inside this directory you can then compile example file eksempel.tex with an resulting error: "Optional Clash for package color". This error results in a wrong oder of calls of packages in file ku-forside.sty . You need to change the original ( eso-pic calls package color ) Please see that this sty files uses the outdated packages ae and aecompl . If possible, please ask for an updated version ... (Note: D:\ in this example is there because I installed my scientific applications on an own partition of my h.d. This is of course not necessary.) Next, copy the contents of ku-cover.zip in this directory, respecting the T.D.S. (TeX Directory Architecture). Last, always with MiKTeX Settings, General tab, refresh the FNBD. The installed files can now be used. - When I try this I get the error: ku-side.st - error - Optional Clash for package color. Is it because I done something wrong? @Bernard – seht111 Commented Jan 5, 2018 at 21:09
- It's probably due to loading xcolor twice , with different options. It's easy to solve, but we need to have a full, yet minimal (non-)working example, and where to get ku-cover . – Bernard Commented Jan 5, 2018 at 21:14
- the link for the zip file is in the post. – seht111 Commented Jan 5, 2018 at 21:17

Should You Use AI to Write Your Cover Letter?Itâs more common than ever to use AI tools in everyday life to streamline complicated or time-consuming tasks. Whether youâre pivoting careers, stepping back into the professional world after a break or searching for a job after a layoff, writing dozens of cover letters can be daunting. So, you may be asking yourself: Should you use AI to write your cover letter for you?  USC Online spoke to USC Career Center expert Lori Shreve Blake to find out when itâs appropriate to use AI in a cover letter â and when this tool should take a backseat.  Do: Use AI to Understand the Job Description  Writing a great cover letter takes time, especially if youâre out of practice. While itâs important that your cover letter is written in your authentic voice, Shreve Blake said AI assistants can help you tailor it to the job you want.⯠ Shreve Blake suggests using an AI assistant like ChatGPT to generate keywords from a job description, which you can incorporate into your cover letter. You can also save time by asking AI to read a job description and summarize the key functions of the role.⯠ You can also ask AI tools like ChatGPT to write a first draft of the cover letter. But there are some important details that AI wonât be able to add.  âYou’re not going to state day-to-day duties in [your] cover letter,â Shreve Blake said. âYou should emphasize your best accomplishments, share your unique qualifications, and demonstrate your professional fit for the role, your values and the organization’s alignment. Should you add quantifiers? Add numbers, percentages, [things] like that.â  Job seekers might be tempted to cut corners with AI to save time, but Shreve Blake emphasized that there are other ways to speed up the process of writing a cover letter. Once you have a template of your cover letter with an introduction, middle paragraph and summary paragraph, you can customize sentences, interchange keywords, and add examples based on the job youâre applying to. You can also customize the formatting of the document.  âI give an analogy of a house: Once you have that foundation of the cover letter completed with AI, then you can incorporate job-specific sentence s as you see fit,â Shreve Blake said.⯠ Many people also find writing a cover letter becomes quicker and easier over time.  âWriting cover letters is a skill, like other skills in life,â Shreve Blake said. âSo, the more you do it, the faster and more confident you’re going to get.â  Donât: Neglect Your Research  Researching your target employer is an integral step in the cover letter writing process. Applicants should visit the companyâs website, read the mission statement and consider which of the companyâs values resonates with them most. This research will help you put together an argument about why youâd make a great candidate â something an AI-generated cover letter canât do, Shreve Blake said.  âThe cover letter is also a persuasive piece,â Shreve Blake said. âSo, it’s almost like that interview question[s]: âTell me about yourself. Why are you interested in this job? What unique skills and experience makes you the best person for the job?ââ Making these connections early in the application process prepares you for interviews later. This âprocess of self-reflectionâ helps you identify what the organization is looking for and which key achievements make you stand out, Shreve Blake said.  Donât: Forego Your Authentic Voice  Although recruiters canât always tell whether a cover letter was written by AI or a human, there are sophisticated tools that can detect it, Shreve Blake said. Recruiters have also told her that they donât like the generic cover letters they see when reviewing applications and Shreve Blake challenges job seekers to ask the question: âWhat do you want your first impression to be with a potential employer?â  â[If] the recruiter receives [a] generic, AI-written cover letter [and] one that is more custom to the job, which one do you think the recruiter is going to pick?â Shreve Blake said. âYou must show integrity, you must show thought and care ⊠It’s a test to see how you’ll be as an employee.â  Whether or not you choose to use AI, be sure to inject your authentic voice into your cover letter and use it to showcase your writing skills. (If youâre at a loss for verbs, check out the USC Career Centerâs resume and cover letter booklet for a helpful list of action words to incorporate.) Employers use cover letters to judge whether applicants will be the right fit for email- and communication-heavy jobs, Shreve Blake said.  âI would say ⊠[your] cover letter can be seen as a form of a work sample,â Shreve Blake said. âAnd it shows your future employer that you have skills in writing, that you possess attention to detail in submitting a cover letter that is grammatically correct and free of typos, that you have skills in communication, that you have skills in persuasion and strategic thinking.â  Do: Use AI to Check Your Grammar  Although you can speed up the process, writing a good cover letter takes time. So, you want to make sure your finished product is concise and easy to read.  â[Recruiters] spend about 15â30  seconds [reading] the resume. They may spend even less time on the cover letter and many employers do not require a cover letter ,â Shreve Blake said.  This is where AI comes in. Shreve Blake recommended using Grammarly or a similar AI-powered writing assistant to give your cover letter a once-over after you are finished writing it. This ensures that your spelling and grammar are up to par and that there are no filler words clogging up your precious cover letter real estate.⯠ â Grammarly is a good tool to use to edit your cover letter ,â Shreve Blake said. âTwenty years ago, it was common to write a cover letter and then let a friend or family member double-check it for meaning and typos before submitting it to a potential employer. ⊠Well, now you don’t have to ask a friend or family member. ⊠[You] can use Grammarly and do that.â  Just remember to double-check your cover letter one more time after using a tool like Grammarly.

How to Write a Cover Letter With Salary Requirements (Template Included!)Writing a cover letter is already an important part of the job hunt, but mentioning your desired salary can make it even trickier. If youâre wondering how to write a cover letter with salary requirements without hurting your chances of landing the job, itâs all about striking the right balance and choosing your words carefully. In this article, weâll walk you through how to handle salary expectations in your cover letterâfrom deciding if you should mention them at all to writing a proper one. Searching for a new role? Check out open jobs on The Muse and find the perfect fit for you » Is it necessary to mention salary in your letter?The truth is, it depends on the situation. Some job postings specifically ask for salary requirements, while others leave it up to the applicant's discretion. In many cases, omitting salary requirements can work in your favor, allowing you to focus on your qualifications and fit for the role. However, if a job listing explicitly requests this information, failing to include it could reflect poorly on your attention to detail . It's also important to consider the job market and your industry. In highly competitive fields, being upfront about your salary expectations can show confidence and transparency, while in other sectors, it might be better to wait until later in the hiring process to discuss compensation . The key is to tailor your approach based on the specific job and company youâre applying to. How to mention salary in a cover letterExperts agree that mentioning salary requirements in a cover letter should be approached with caution. âSalary questions are designed to âscreen outâ rather than âscreen inâ candidates,â says Alisa Cohen, Career Coach at Close Cohen Career Consulting . This means that revealing your salary expectations too soon could lead to your elimination from the candidate pool if your figures donât align with the employerâs budget. âIt could result in either being overlooked for the position or receiving a lower-than-expected offer,â says Tiago Pita, Brand Director and Recruiter at Whole Food Earth . You might want to leave out salary requirements in a cover letter when you donât have enough information about the role and its compensation structure to provide a well-informed figure. âIf the job posting indicates that salary discussions will occur later in the hiring process, itâs often best to focus the cover letter on qualifications and enthusiasm for the role,â Pita says. By doing so, you keep the door open for a more informed discussion about compensation later in the hiring process, once the employer has seen your potential and you have a clearer understanding of the role. When should you include salary requirements?If the application asks for salary requirements, you should complyâbut do so strategically (below, youâll find tips on how to handle this). If the application does not ask for them, âitâs typically in your best interest to defer compensation conversations to the latest stage possible,â Cohen says. âYou have the most leverage when you are at the offer stage.â By waiting until later in the process, you allow yourself time to demonstrate your value to the employer, which can strengthen your position during salary negotiations. How do you negotiate salary in a cover letter?Itâs essential to approach this topic with tact, as you donât want to come across as overly aggressive or rigid. Below are some tips and strategies for effectively incorporating salary negotiation into your cover letter. 1. Do your researchBase your expectations on solid research. Industry standards, geographic location, past salaries, and your experience level are all factors that should be taken into consideration. One effective strategy is to provide a range rather than a specific number, giving you some flexibility and room for negotiation. Cohen suggests using language like, âMy research indicates that compensation for this type of position falls in the range of $XX - $XX. I look forward to learning more about the position and understanding if that is consistent with your range.â This approach shows youâve done your homework and know what youâre looking for in a job position. 2. Explain your reasoningThis could be based on your research of industry standards, your level of experience, or the cost of living in the job's location. For example: âMy salary expectation is based on industry research and my professional experience in similar roles, as well as the cost of living in [City].â 3. Use diplomatic and flexible languageThe way you phrase your salary expectations can significantly impact how they are received. Pita emphasizes the importance of using language that shows flexibility, with phrases such as, âBased on my experience and the industry standards, I am seeking a salary range of $X to $Y. However, I am open to discussing this further based on the total compensation package and additional benefits your company offers.â This wording acknowledges your salary expectations while also making it clear youâre open to negotiation and that youâre willing to consider the entire compensation package, not just the salary. 4. Frame salary as part of the overall fitHighlight your skills and experience that contribute to the companyâs success. This helps keep the focus on mutual benefit rather than just on financials. Pita suggests language like, âI am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your team and am confident that my skills align well with the needs of the position. I am seeking a salary range of $X to $Y, though I am open to negotiation based on the complete compensation package and benefits offered.â This phrasing shows enthusiasm for the role while also subtly integrating your salary expectations into the discussion.

Each cover letter is tailored to the specific job while including a mention of salary expectations, demonstrating how to approach this delicate topic professionally.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your needs and how I can contribute to the success of [Company Name]. Key takeawaysIncluding salary requirements in a cover letter can be a delicate balancing act. Itâs essential to approach this topic with care to avoid potential pitfalls while ensuring clarity for both you and the employer. Itâs often best to include salary expectations only when explicitly requested or when you feel confident about the compensation range based on your experience and industry standards. Ensure your salary expectations align with the roleâs requirements and the value you bring to the table. If necessary, express your openness to negotiation, highlighting your flexibility and enthusiasm for the opportunity. Remember, a well-crafted cover letter not only addresses salary expectations but also showcases your qualifications and enthusiasm for the role. By combining a clear, professionally presented salary range with a strong emphasis on your skills and achievements, you can create a compelling case for why youâre the right fit for the job.

Enter ChatGPT , the popular AI language model that's revolutionizing how we approach writing tasks.

Let's dive in and discover how to make ChatGPT your secret weapon in landing your dream job! 1. Analyze the job descriptionLog in or sign up to ChatGPT . Begin by pasting the job description into the prompt box and asking it to identify key skills, qualifications, and responsibilities. This analysis will help you understand exactly what the employer is looking for in an ideal candidate. You can use a prompt like: Analyze this job description and list the top 5 skills and qualifications the employer is seeking . Then , hit Enter. 2. Outline your cover letterOnce you have a clear understanding of the job requirements, ask ChatGPT to create a basic outline for your cover letter based on the job description analysis . This will provide a structure for your letter and ensure you address all the key points. Try using a prompt such as: Create an outline for a cover letter addressing these top 5 skills and qualifications. 3. Craft your opening paragraphUse ChatGPT to generate ideas for an attention-grabbing opening paragraph that expresses your enthusiasm for the position. This is your chance to make a strong first impression, so consider asking for multiple options. You might use a prompt like: Generate three engaging opening paragraphs for a cover letter applying for [job title] at [company name] . 4. Highlight your relevant experienceProvide ChatGPT with bullet points from your resume. Then, ask it to transform them into compelling sentences that align with the job requirements . This step helps you tailor your experience to the specific role. A useful prompt could be: Turn these resume bullet points into persuasive sentences for a cover letter, focusing on how they relate to [specific job requirements]. 5.

How to get ChatGPT to write your cover letter: step-by-step guide with exact prompts- When applying for jobs, ChatGPT-4 can make the cover-letter writing process more manageable.
- An AI consultant shares tips for writing an effective cover letter using ChatGPT.
- Here's a step-by-step guide, including writing prompts and navigating ChatGPT's limitations.
Generative AI can be an effective tool for time-consuming tasks like writing cover letters, but only if you know how to use it effectively. As an AI consultant , marketing and design companies come to me when they need help learning to use AI tools like ChatGPT. I also help companies review potential employees for AI-specific roles by evaluating their understanding of current tools and trends. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to get AI to write you a great cover letter that doesn't sound AI-generated. Learn the basicsChatGPT works best with specific directions, so learn what makes a good cover letter before directing ChatGPT to write one. Isimemen Aladejobi, a career strategist, outlines three components of an effective cover letter. - A strong introduction that demonstrates company or industry knowledge. Highlight something in the news that's relevant to your prospective department. Use this topical event to segue into why you're interested in this specific position. Aladejobi recommends always referring to the job title and company by name.
- The body of the cover letter should convey why your skills and experience make you a perfect fit. Highlight what you brought to the table at your last job and connect it to the requirements of the role you're applying for. Even suggest initiatives you could start at the company.
- The sign-off should be simple. Aladejobi suggests, "I'm excited and looking forward to hearing from you," which she says demonstrates enthusiasm without being too wordy.
With this in mind, you can now start prompting ChatGPT with confidence. Writing your cover letter in ChatGPT-4Be aware of the token limit. The token limit is ChatGPT's limit on recall and comprehension during a single session. ChatGPT has a token limit of 4,096, and according to OpenAI , 100 tokens are about 75 words. If ChatGPT starts responding to prompts illogically, you've probably hit the limit. This message to help ChatGPT refocus: " Please search this chat for the word strawberry and reread that message and provide me a summary of what you think we need to do. We're at step [#] of that message. Tell me if you want a recap of the previous steps, and I'll provide a summary. " Related stories Having this marker will keep ChatGPT on task and ensure an accurate end product. Step 1: Onboard ChatGPT to the taskChatGPT needs very explicit instructions to complete tasks successfully. Below is the exact prompt to copy and paste into the chatbot. To apply for a job within your industry use this prompt: "Hi ChatGPT. You're now the best cover letter writer on earth. You and I will write a cover letter together for [job title] at [company]. I have [#] years of experience. Here's what we're going to do: - You will ask me at least 15 questions about my work history and vision for the role. Make at least one of the questions "What initiatives would you implement in this role?"
- I'm going to give you sections of the job description to read and you're going to generate a strategic plan for the cover letter based on my answers from step one and the job description for me to approve.
- I'm going to give you a news item about the company. Read it and tell me how you plan to connect it to my cover letter application.
- Use this format to write the cover letter:
- Begin with the news item based on my approval of your strategy. Conclude paragraph one: "When I came across this role, I knew it was the role for me. Let me tell you why."
- The next two to three paragraphs should be my career history with clear connections to the position requirements and desired skills. Make sure to say somewhere, "As your [position title], I'll," and include some of the initiatives.
- Wrap up with the following sentence, "I'm excited and looking forward to hearing from you."
If we exceed your token limit, let's use "strawberry" as our focus word so you can get reoriented. Please begin by summarizing what you think I want you to do." If you're making a pivot in your career, remove this line from the prompt: " I have [#] years of experience ," and replace it with " I'm making a career transition from [industry] to [industry] so the cover letter needs to heavily showcase how my previous experience is an asset to [Company]. " And add this to the first task: "Make another question about how I think my previous experience is an asset to this new industry." Step 2: Check for understandingChatGPT should create a summary of this plan. Check that the summary is accurate. If it is, reply with " next step " or " yes ." Ashley CoutoIf ChatGPT gets confused, open a new chat and repaste the prompt. Step 3: Answer the career questions and have ChatGPT generate a career summaryThe bot should provide you with the 15 career questions. Each answer should be two or three sentences long. You can go over for one or two questions, but be wary of potentially hitting the token limit. Once you've answered all the questions, add this sentence and press enter: " Please create a detailed summary of my responses that I can paste into ChatGPT so I don't have to answer all these questions again if I need to generate another cover letter. " Copy and paste the summary into another document to use for other applications. Step 4: Input no more than 2,500 characters of the job descriptionCopy and paste only the pertinent details from the description into ChatGPT and delete the fluff. Keep skills and competencies, responsibilities, the role overview, and a little about the company if you think it would be helpful. Step 5: Paste in a company press release or industry-specific news storyOnce ChatGPT gives you its plan, decide whether you agree with its intent. If you do, indicate that you want to move forward and press return or make a change. With any AI tool, you must be an editor and strategic advisor. Do not assume that what it's generated is the right path. Exercise critical judgment and get ChatGPT to refine. For example, after I provided the article, ChatGPT presented me with a summary that didn't highlight key issues on how Canadian media companies think about content. I gave it instructions to refine it. Step 6: Generate the cover letter and revise it with ChatGPTOnce you've approved its strategic approach, ChatGPT will generate the cover letter. It will generate a first draft but probably won't be ready for use yet. It's your job now to go back in and revise using specific instructions. For example, I felt that the third paragraph ChatGPT generated was weak. Direct it with specific changes to adjust particular paragraphs and go back and forth for a few rounds until you're happy. And it generated a much stronger attempt. Step 7: Put it into a text editorChatGPT has a suboptimal understanding of grammar and syntax. Once you're happy with the content, put your text through Grammarly to help tighten up the language and avoid problems like using the passive voice. Step 8: Rinse and repeat with modificationsYou can use the same root prompt for future cover letters, but replace step one with this: "I'm going to paste in a summary of my work experience. Please write me a three-sentence summary of what type of work I do and what you see as my top accomplishment so I can check for understanding." Based on the previously generated summary, you'll double-check that ChatGPT has a good idea of what you do. If it's missing a few key details, fill it in on those or tell it which summary you want it to prioritize before you move through the rest of the prompt.
