# Cover letter

## Needs
The user's resume and the job posting. If the hiring manager's name is unknown, use "Dear Hiring Manager".

## Structure (under 300 words, 3–4 paragraphs)
1. **Opening:** the exact job title, where they saw it, and one line on why this company specifically (find something real from the posting or company site).
2. **Fit:** two or three achievements from the resume that match the posting's top requirements, with numbers.
3. **Gap or newcomer angle (only if relevant):** address a missing requirement or international background briefly and positively. Mention work authorization only if the posting asks.
4. **Close:** availability, thanks, and a request to talk.

## Rules
- Plain, confident, human tone. No "I am writing to express my interest", no "passionate", no "dynamic".
- Canadian spelling.
- Don't repeat the resume line by line; pick the strongest proof.
- Never invent facts. Ask if something important is missing.
- For an email application, give a subject line: "Application – <Job Title> – <Full Name>".
