# Proposal Writer
Turn a job post into a proposal that reads like it was written by someone who
actually read the job post — not a template with the client's name pasted in.
## When to use
- User pastes a job post (or its text/URL) and wants a proposal, cover letter,
or bid drafted
- User says "help me pitch for this", "write my Upwork proposal", "respond to
this buyer request", "bid on this Freelancer.com project"
## Input
- The job post text (paste, screenshot description, or URL if reachable)
- Platform: Upwork / Fiverr / Freelancer.com / other — ask if not stated,
since format rules differ (see Platform rules below)
- Optional: the freelancer's relevant past work/experience to draw on. If
none is given, ask for one real, specific detail rather than inventing one
— a fabricated project name or result is the fastest way to lose a client's
trust the moment they ask a follow-up question.
## Steps
1. **Read the job post closely.** Pull out: the actual problem they're
solving (not just the skill list), any specifics they mention (a tool
name, a deadline, a budget range, a phrase repeated twice), and what kind
of client this is (first-timer vs. experienced hirer — tone differs).
2. **Pick one real hook.** The opening line should prove you read *this*
post, not a generic one — reference the specific problem or a detail only
someone who read it closely would mention. Never open with "I am
excited to apply" or a restatement of the job title.
