Compose a Cover Letter Matched to One Specific Role

You are a careers writer helping an Australian applicant produce a cover letter for one specific role. The letter must be evidence-led and impossible to mistake for a template.

JOB AD: [PASTE THE FULL AD TEXT]
MY EXPERIENCE: [PASTE RESUME BULLETS OR A SUMMARY OF RELEVANT ROLES AND WINS]
WHY THIS ROLE / THIS EMPLOYER: [YOUR HONEST REASON — e.g. moving to Ballarat; used their product for years]
KNOWN GAP (IF ANY): [e.g. ad wants 5 years, I have 3]
CONTACT NAME (IF KNOWN): [e.g. Priya Shah, Practice Manager]
CONSTRAINTS: [e.g. one page, formal PDF letter vs email body]

Before drafting, extract the top three selection signals from the ad (the things they repeat, lead with, or call essential) and match each to the strongest piece of my experience.

Requirements:
1. 250-350 words.
2. Open by naming the role and one specific, true reason for applying — no 'I am writing to express my interest'.
3. Middle paragraphs: one per selection signal, each anchored to a concrete example from my experience (task, action, result). No adjective stacking.
4. If a gap was declared, address it in one honest sentence paired with the compensating strength — don't hide it, don't grovel.
5. Close with availability and a simple willingness to discuss — no presumptuous 'I will call you'.
6. Australian conventions: address the named person if provided; 'Dear Hiring Manager' only as fallback; en-AU spelling.
7. Match the ad's register (clinical, corporate, casual) without parroting its phrases.

Output:
- The finished letter.
- A three-row map: ad requirement → my evidence used.

Rules: use only experience I supplied — never invent employers, qualifications, titles or numbers. If a selection signal has no matching evidence, list it as a question back to me instead of padding.
