ChatGPTでカバーレターのリファイニング

アメリカにいると就職の際にレジュメ（履歴書）をまずは送ることになるのですが、その際、カバーレターという序文のようなものをつけるのが慣習となっています。これまでだと、Google先生に"cover letter, template"みたいな感じで検索し、そのテンプレートを見ながら自分用にチューニング、リファイニングをしたりしていたのですが、ChatGPTを使ってやってみると、とてもすっきりした文章になって返ってきました。

ChatGPTへの指示は
”The sentence below is a cover letter to some employers that are dealing with the engineering industry.
Re-write these into more appealing and sophisticated sentences.”
「以下の文章はエンジニアリング系の会社へ向けたカバーレターです。これをもっと魅力的な文章に書き直してください」としました。

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to apply to become an Industrial Engineer at Flagship Engineering. This position will allow me to make the most out of my penchant for systematic thinking and my organizational bent. I am an extremely conscientious worker who understands the importance of following a plan and of making sure that all parts of a project — both mechanical and human — are running smoothly.

As befits an industrial engineer, I have advanced knowledge of physics, mathematics, engineering principles and industrial processes. My experience working as an Industrial Engineer for Centurion Petroleum Corp. has familiarized me with how to examine procedure plans and implement steps to improve efficiency, conduct reliable and accurate maintenance checks, coordinate teams of workers to efficiently bring large-scale projects to life, entering results into databases, generating and examining records and presenting my results to superiors in anticipation of further instruction. I have also garnered a reputation for my management abilities and my way of fostering a collaborative spirit among the engineers whom it is my responsibility to direct. I have found that a spirit of openness that encourages all members of the team to submit design proposals or other suggestions during a project tends to foster team cohesion.

As a result of my efforts leading a team of Junior Engineers, I was able to ultimately improve Centurion's ability to extract petroleum and to cut its production costs by 6% and 11%, respectively.

Thank you very much for your time and attention in considering me for this all-important role. I have demonstrated an ability to apply rigorous critical attention to problems of maximizing industrial efficiency, and I hope to prove my mettle as we progress further along in the hiring process. I would be honored to put my abilities to work for you and become a part of the family at Flagship Engineering.

今回の場合、元々の文章も実はIndeedさんのUSのページにあったテンプレートだったので、結構まとまって綺麗な文章でした。
なので、「おー、すげー綺麗にまとめてくれてる！」みたいな感動は余りないのですが、自分がささっと書いた英文なんかもちょっと魅力的にしたい時などは便利に使えそうです。

TwitterにUPした映像はインスタの投稿を魅力的な文章にしてっとお願いしたサンプルです。
今後越境ECなどで海外に物販する時にも、うまく活用できれば役立ちますね！

これまでもググる時の検索ワードの掛け合わせ方みたいな部分にはちょっとしたコツがありましたが、これからはいかにChatGPTに指令を出すか?
Promptの上手な人が活躍することになりそうです。

スキ、フォローもよろしくお願いいたします。
