I am applying for the role of [target job title] in the [industry or field] industry.

- Keep each bullet point concise: ideally 1–2 lines and under 25 words.
- Use past tense for previous roles and present tense for current roles.
- Ensure the language is ATS-friendly and aligned with the target job description when provided.
