Prepare · Job seekerRead a job description carefully
Bring: Real job description, your background and constraintsOpen prompt +
PROMPT
Analyse this job description: [description]. My background: [summary]. Constraints: [location, availability or other relevant limits].

Bring: Real work, projects, study or volunteering and target skillsOpen prompt +
PROMPT
Organise these real experiences: [experiences]. Target skills: [skills]. For each example, record the situation, my contribution, observable outcome and evidence available. Mark claims that need verification. Include examples from study or volunteering where relevant. Do not inflate responsibility, invent metrics or add achievements.
USEFUL FOLLOW-UP
Which two examples show the target skills most directly, and what details should I clarify?
Before you use the answer: Be able to explain your own contribution and support every result.
Draft · Job seekerImprove a resume bullet honestly
Bring: Original bullet, actions you took, outcome and relevant requirementOpen prompt +
PROMPT

Before you use the answer: Choose wording you can defend in an interview.
Draft · Job seekerDraft a specific application message
Bring: Vacancy, relevant experience, reason for applying and format limitOpen prompt +

Practise · Job seekerPractise a behavioural interview
Bring: Question, target role and real exampleOpen prompt +
PROMPT
Help me practise this interview question: [question]. Target role: [role]. My real example: [notes]. Ask me to answer first and wait. Then assess whether I explained the situation, my actions and the result clearly. Ask one follow-up about a missing detail. Do not rewrite my experience into a more impressive story.
USEFUL FOLLOW-UP

Before you use the answer: Practise aloud and remove anything you cannot honestly substantiate.
Plan · Job seekerMake a manageable application plan
Bring: Target roles, available time, application tasks and real responsesOpen prompt +
PROMPT
Build a weekly job-search plan from [target roles], [hours available], [application tasks] and [responses so far]. Allocate time for research, tailoring, practice and follow-up.

USEFUL FOLLOW-UP
Reduce the plan for a week with half as much available time.
Before you use the answer: Follow each employer’s deadlines and contact preferences.
03 / SEE THE DIFFERENCE
What a more useful result looks like.
Illustrative example: a first-time applicant helped organise a student event. Attendance improved, but they do not have verified numbers.
Starting point
Led a team to increase event attendance by 80%.
More useful version
Coordinated volunteer shifts and sent attendee reminders for a student event. Kept the schedule updated and helped the team handle last-minute changes.
The stronger version is specific about the applicant’s work without inventing a metric or claiming leadership they cannot support.
