Draft a short note to a hiring manager with a real reason to write now, one relevant result and one clear ask, ready for you to check and send.
Who it is for
Job seekers who apply online and hear nothing, and want a direct, honest note to the person who hires.
Tools
ChatGPT, Claude or Grok Bot
Your company brief
Your master resume or list of results
Steps
Find the hiring manager or a team member from the job post or the company's public team page. Confirm their role.
Pick one trigger from your company brief: a launch, funding, a new team or something they posted.
Pick one result of yours, with a real number, that matches the role.
Run the prompt below. Keep the draft to 4 to 6 lines.
Check every claim against your resume. Anthropic says its Gmail connector asks before sending by default; keep it that way and send it yourself.
Log the note in your application tracker with a follow-up date 7 days out.
The prompt
Draft a 4 to 6 line note to a hiring manager. Use only what I give you.
Their name and role: [NAME, ROLE]
The job: [TITLE, LINK]
Trigger (why now): [ONE LAUNCH, NEWS ITEM OR POST]
One result of mine that fits: [RESULT WITH NUMBER]
My ask: [e.g. a 15-minute call, or to flag my application]
Rules: plain and friendly, no flattery, no buzzwords, no claims beyond what I listed. Give 2 versions and a subject line for each.
Tips
One trigger and one result. More makes it longer, not better.
A specific ask gets more replies than a vague one.
