Standout
The Cover Letter

A cover letter written for this job, in seven minutes.

Tell us the role, the company, and what you want to land on. A Word document lands in your inbox a few minutes later, tailored to the brief and ready to send.

The Problem

Generic cover letters get skimmed, then binned.

Writing a good one takes an hour every time.

Every role deserves a letter written for it.

Why not just ask ChatGPT?

ChatGPT will write you a cover letter. It just doesn't know you.

ChatGPT works if you prompt it well, paste in everything it needs, and rewrite the parts that sound like an AI wrote them. That's a project. The cover letters most people get out of ChatGPT read as exactly what they are.

What Standout has that a blank prompt doesn't

  • · A structured intake that captures the things people forget to prompt for (proud outcomes, day-to-day, how you want to be perceived).
  • · Your CV already on file, so the letter is grounded in your actual roles and dates, not invented ones.
  • · Voice consistency across this letter, your CV, and your LinkedIn. One profile, four documents, all in the same voice.
  • · Hard rules against the AI tells that get cover letters flagged (no em-dashes, no 'proven track record', no 'I am writing to express my interest').

What you skip

  • · Spending fifteen minutes pasting your CV, the job description, and your context into a chat.
  • · Spotting and rewriting the four or five sentences that read as obviously AI-written.
  • · Wondering whether the achievements it cited are ones you actually have.
  • · Doing the whole thing again for the next role with a fresh blank prompt.
