Career coaching prompts
Act as a career coach. Ask me 8 questions to clarify my target role, constraints, strengths, and next career experiment. Do not give advice until I answer.
Review these resume bullets for a [target role]. Improve clarity and impact without inventing facts. Show a stronger version and explain what changed.
Compare my resume to this job description. Identify missing keywords, weak evidence, and the top 5 changes I should make truthfully.
Run a behavioral mock interview for a [role] at [company]. Ask one question at a time, wait for my answer, then give concise feedback using STAR.
Help me prepare a salary negotiation script. My offer is [amount], my target is [amount], and my evidence is [evidence]. Keep the tone collaborative.
Create a one-week career sprint for me. My goal is [goal], available time is [hours], and my biggest blocker is [blocker].

Prompting is a starting point
Prompts are powerful when you already know what to ask. Dedicated tools help when you do not want to rebuild the process every time.
Keep the output honest
Career prompts should explicitly say not to invent facts. AI should help you frame true experience, not create a fantasy candidate.
Turn prompts into action
The real value comes after the answer: revise the resume, schedule the conversation, practice again, or send the follow-up.
