Making It Your Own
You can customize these prompts according to your comfort as well, for example if you prefer a more conversational tone of writing, you can give it the following prompt after this:
“Can you write in a more conversational tone?”
It can then produce a cover letter which sounds like you are directly speaking to the employer. Some employers would like this cover letter better, but the tone of the cover letter is for you to decide.
The tone you take on can change from one job to another, for example if you are applying for a technical role, but the cover letters are generally read by HR employees, you do not want to bore them with too much technical jargon.
You can also change the length of the cover letter, making it much longer and more detailed, or keeping it short and sweet. Remember that BARD is completely dependent on the information you provide it with, so be as thorough with your professional history as you can.
If there is a gap on your resume that may require an explanation, you can provide that to BARD to add to your cover letter in an appropriate way. For example, there is a gap from 07/2022 to 03/2023 in the resume we have used in this article.
You can add this along with the reason for the break in such a way so that the employer does not see this in a bad light. You can also add any personal achievements you may be proud of that are not in your resume but can add value to your personality as an employee, like working as a volunteer.
