About these letters!
These are actual cover letters produced by ChatGPT 4.0, Perplexity, and Claude, based on resume and job description input. Only the names have been changed to protect privacy, all other data is actual, i.e. real.
The applicant used ChatGPT, but as you will see, all of the AI’s produced spectacular results.
Using our engineered prompts, the applicant did a simple copy/paste from ChatGPT to her own letterhead, and then submitted. This landed an interview – she then used the Skills Analysis, Needed Skills vs Resume Skills (Included in Cover Letter prompts) to prepare for the interview. This resulted in a job offer which she accepted.
The only data given to the AI was our engineered prompt, the resume and the job description.
Frequently, the recruiter or hiring manager’s name is not given in the job description, so the applicant used methods disclosed in our Free Career Exploration course to discover the hiring manager. (Exclusive to our AMAV members)
These methods and updates as they are developed are available in our AI Methods and Values Newsletter (AMAV), a multi-topic publication, which is available free for 90 days, then if you find value and want to continue, paid subscriptions are $10/yr.

Skills Analysis for Subject Job
Needed Skills vs. Resume Skills
Perplexity AI
The candidate’s resume demonstrates strong alignment with the majority of the needed skills for the Global Product Manager role. The only potential gap is in the area of “Ownership of Profit and Loss”, as the resume does not explicitly state P&L ownership for a specific product line. However, the candidate’s experience in managing operating plans, executing on strategic initiatives, and driving business transformation suggests they have the necessary skills and background to take on P&L responsibility. With their extensive experience in product management, strategy development, and cross-functional collaboration, the candidate appears well-qualified for this role.
Duck note: Perplexity produced excellent, high-quality output, although we found during testing that for some reason, Perplexity would occasionally produce the Skills Analysis and then wait for a request before releasing the three letters. If you encounter this anomaly, the following line will release the letters: Please produce the requested 3 letters.
