5 prompts

Act as a Senior Executive Recruiter and Resume Writer. I need you to polish a specific bullet point on my resume to make it stand out to hiring managers while preserving the actual evidence supplied.
Context:
Target Role: {{role}}
My Draft Bullet: "{{draft}}"

Your Task:
Rewrite this bullet point using the STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) and Google’s XYZ Formula ("Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z]").
Provide 3 distinct options:
Option 1: The "Data-Driven" Version
Focus heavily on the numbers, percentages, and hard ROI. Use strong action verbs like "Spearheaded," "Generated," or "Reduced."
Option 2: The "Leadership" Version
Focus on the soft skills, team management, and strategic impact (best for management roles).
Option 3: The "Problem Solver" Version
Focus on the challenge that was overcome and the efficiency gained.
Constraint:
Remove passive phrases like "Responsible for" or "Assisted with."
Keep each bullet under 2 lines.

Claude Prompt to Rewrite Resume Bullets Without Inventing Evidence

Rewrite a resume bullet for job seekers in Claude: aimed at a target role and kept to the responsibilities and measured results you actually supply.

Examine the attached job post, recruiter message and any supplied URL text. Redact personal identifiers in your response. Do not open attachments, run software, contact anyone or make payments. If text is unreadable, ask for a pasted copy.
Separate observed facts from concerns and unknowns. Check consistency of company name, email domain, role, location, hiring stages, payment requests, requests for sensitive data and pressure to move off established channels. Do not call a message genuine or fraudulent from wording alone. Return [observed detail, why it needs checking, independent verification step, safe next action]. Recommend navigating to the employer's official careers page independently rather than trusting embedded links. Draft a short clarification message requesting the official job listing and hiring contact. Finish with a pause decision if identity or payment details remain unverified. No invented registry checks.

Job Post Due-Diligence Checklist Without Guessing Legitimacy

Review a job message for verifiable employer details, mismatched domains and requests that need checking. Get a verification plan rather than a false guarantee that an offer is safe.

Help me prepare a professional response to a job offer. Start by asking up to three questions about the written terms, the one or two changes I care about most, and my deadline or constraints. Wait for my answers. I may redact company and personal details.
After I reply, separate guaranteed base pay, variable compensation and non-cash terms; do not combine uncertain bonuses into guaranteed pay. Identify unclear terms and recommend questions rather than interpreting them as settled. Draft a 100–150-word reply that expresses interest, requests my prioritized change and gives a truthful rationale drawn only from my experience or supplied evidence. Provide a softer alternative and a short call outline. Do not invent competing offers, salary benchmarks, legal rights or leverage. If market research would change the request, mark it as a separate verification task. End with a before-send checklist and leave the decision with me.

Salary Negotiation Reply Based on Your Actual Offer

Prepare a calm negotiation reply using your written offer and priorities. The assistant asks for missing context and avoids fabricated market rates or competing offers.

Help me tell a credible portfolio story.
Project: {{project}}
My actual role: {{role}}
Constraints and process notes: {{process}}
Results and evidence: {{results}}
Write a structured case study: problem, contribution, constraints, decisions, result and lessons. Make my role distinct from the team’s. Use numbers only when provided and preserve their context. If outcomes were not measured, explain what was observed and what remains unknown. Add three suggested visuals with captions and questions to fill evidence gaps. Do not invent client praise, business impact, research participants or ownership.

Write a Portfolio Case Study Without Inventing Impact

Write a portfolio case study for designers and developers in ChatGPT: your own role, the results you provide and evidence gaps, without invented impact.

Help me practice a job interview without inventing my experience. First ask for the role, job description, one genuine project and my desired interview length. Then ask one relevant question at a time, wait for my answer and follow up on missing evidence. After each answer give a short assessment of relevance, specificity and clarity, quoting the phrase that needs work. Suggest a stronger structure using only facts I supplied; label missing evidence rather than supplying invented metrics. Include one technical or situational question when the role warrants it. End with a three-item practice plan. Do not assess protected traits or guarantee hiring outcomes.

Using these prompts

This hub groups prompts for job hunting and career writing. It includes a resume bullet rewriter, a mock interview coach that asks one question at a time and a portfolio case study prompt. They share one rule: the AI should work from the experience and results you actually provide, and should not add jobs, numbers or achievements you did not mention. Open a prompt, replace the inputs with your own role, draft and evidence, copy it and paste it into your AI tool. Then compare the result with your real record before you send it to an employer, because you are responsible for every claim in an application. These prompts help with wording and practice; they do not promise interviews or offers, and a recruiter may still read your materials differently than the AI predicted. Each prompt page shows the full text and its input mode. Use editable fields where provided; other prompts request context through questions or explain what to supply. Review any example output before copying. Example outputs illustrate the format; they are not a guarantee of what your own run will produce, and AI answers can contain mistakes, so check anything important.

Frequently asked questions

How do these prompts work?
Each prompt is a block of instructions. Open a prompt page, replace the inputs with your own details, copy the text and paste it into your AI tool. Some prompts instead ask you questions first and wait for your answers.
What are the inputs or variables?
Many prompts contain placeholders in double curly brackets, such as {{topic}} or {{audience}}. Replace each one with your own information before you send the prompt. For prompts without placeholders, follow the context or question instructions shown on the page.
Which AI tool should I use?
The resume and career prompts are written for ChatGPT or Claude, and each prompt page says which. Always check the output against your real experience.
