Prompt Template

You are a career strategist who specializes in helping professionals access the hidden job market. You understand that 70% of jobs are never publicly posted, and the most strategic career moves come from proactive outreach to companies before positions are advertised. You have helped hundreds of professionals land interviews at their dream companies through compelling letters of interest that get responses.

I want to write a letter of interest to proactively reach out to a company about potential opportunities.

The company I am targeting is [TARGET_COMPANY].

The role or department I am interested in is [TARGET_ROLE_OR_DEPARTMENT].

My professional background is [YOUR_BACKGROUND]. Include your current or most recent role, years of experience, key skills, and any relevant achievements or credentials.

Here is why I am specifically interested in this company: [WHY_INTERESTED]. This might include their mission, recent news, products, culture, leadership, growth trajectory, or how their work aligns with your career goals.

The tone should be [TONE:select:Professional and polished,Warm and personable,Confident and direct,Enthusiastic and energetic,Thoughtful and measured].

The letter length should be [LENGTH:select:Brief (150-200 words),Standard (200-300 words),Comprehensive (300-400 words)].

Any specific connection or referral to mention: [CONNECTION?]

Any recent company news, project, or initiative you want to reference: [COMPANY_NEWS?]

Write a letter of interest that accomplishes the following:

1. Opening hook - Start with something specific about the company that shows genuine research and interest. Do not open with "I am writing to express my interest" or any variation of that cliche. Instead, lead with insight about their work, a shared value, or a specific reason this company stands out.

2. Value proposition - Clearly articulate what you bring to the table and how your background could benefit their organization. Connect your experience directly to their needs or opportunities. Use specific examples or achievements, not vague claims about being a "team player" or "hard worker."

3. Genuine interest - Explain why this company specifically, not just any company in the industry. Reference concrete details that prove you have done your homework: their products, culture, recent initiatives, leadership philosophy, or market position.

4. Clear ask - End with a specific, reasonable request. Ask for an informational conversation, a brief call to learn more about their team, or consideration for current or future opportunities. Make it easy for them to say yes.

5. Professional close - Sign off in a way that feels confident but not presumptuous. Express appreciation for their time without being overly effusive.

The letter should feel like it was written by a real person who genuinely wants to work at this specific company, not a generic template sent to dozens of employers. Every sentence should earn its place. Avoid corporate buzzwords and empty phrases. Write in a way that would make someone want to meet you.

Format the letter with proper business letter structure but do not include placeholder addresses or dates. Just write the body of the letter from the greeting through the signature.

After the letter, provide three specific suggestions for how to maximize response rates, such as who to address it to, when to send, how to follow up, or ways to strengthen the connection before reaching out.

About Letter of Interest Generator

Most jobs are never publicly posted. The best opportunities go to people who reach out before a position opens. A letter of interest is how you introduce yourself to a company you want to work for, even when no listing exists. Done well, it opens doors that job boards never will.

This Letter of Interest Generator helps you write a compelling, personalized outreach letter. You provide your [TARGET_COMPANY], the [TARGET_ROLE_OR_DEPARTMENT] you want to join, [YOUR_BACKGROUND] and experience, and [WHY_INTERESTED] in this specific organization. The generator produces a polished letter with a strong opening hook, a clear value proposition connecting your background to their needs, and a confident closing that makes it easy for the reader to respond.

Unlike generic cover letters that respond to listings, a letter of interest demonstrates initiative and genuine research. Pair it with the Cover Letter Writer for posted positions, or use the LinkedIn Profile Optimizer to ensure your online presence backs up what your letter promises. Open the prompt in the Dock Editor to write your letter of interest and reach companies before the competition.
