Questions
Can employers tell if you used ChatGPT for a cover letter?
They notice generic letters, whoever wrote them. A letter built from specific things you did, matched to what the posting asks for, reads as researched. The cover letter prompt here works only from your resume and the posting, and tells the AI not to add skills you did not list.
Do these prompts work in Claude, Gemini and Copilot?
Yes. Each prompt is laid out for one kind of model, shown beside it, but every one works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. Fill in the blanks and paste the whole prompt into the chat.
