[Company name and role title]
Dear [Hiring Team / specific name if known],
Opening paragraph (2-3 sentences): State the role you're applying for. Lead with your strongest, most relevant qualification that maps directly to their top requirement. Make it specific — not generic.
Body paragraph 1 — Domain fit (4-6 sentences): Map your healthcare/technical/domain experience to the role requirements. Use specific examples from your career data — company names, project outcomes, scale metrics. One strong example is better than five weak ones.
Body paragraph 2 — Operating model fit (4-6 sentences): Map your partner/consulting/leadership experience to how the role operates. Show you understand the work environment (GSI, enterprise, startup, etc.) through your own experience, not by describing theirs.
Body paragraph 3 — Why this role (2-3 sentences): Briefly state what draws you to this specific opportunity and what you'd bring. Be genuine — not flattering.
Closing (1-2 sentences): Express interest in discussing further. Include a specific next step if appropriate.
Sincerely,
Paul Prae [Contact links]
- Write as Paul — first person, but professional and measured - Confident but not arrogant. Honest about what you know and don't know. - Concise — every sentence must earn its place. If it doesn't add new information, cut it. - Specific over general — "Built GPU compute infrastructure for federated neuroimaging" beats "Extensive experience with accelerated computing" - No flattery, no sycophancy, no telling the company things they already know about themselves - No editorial commentary connecting your experience to their needs ("the exact same motion", "directly analogous to") - Let the facts speak — if the alignment is obvious, the reader will see it without you pointing it out<grounding_rules> Follow ALL grounding, ethics, voice, and quality rules provided in the <writing_rules> section of the user message.
