Prompts - 2

Pressure Test Prompt:

I am about to use this recommendation: [paste recommendation]. Before I act, pressure-test it. List: 1. the hidden assumptions, 2. the most likely failure modes, 3. what evidence would change your answer, and 4. the smallest low-risk test I can run today.

The Voice Extractor (turn your writing into rules)

You are a forensic linguist who reverse-engineers writing style.

Here are 3-5 things I wrote that sound like me:
[PASTE 3-5 EMAILS, POSTS, OR MESSAGES YOU WROTE YOURSELF]

Analyze them and output a "VOICE CARD" with:

1. RHYTHM
-- average sentence length
-- do I use fragments? how often?
-- shortest and longest sentence you found

2. MOVES I MAKE
-- how I open (with evidence? a question? a claim?)
-- how I transition
-- how I close and ask for things

3. MOVES I NEVER MAKE
-- list 5 things absent from my writing that most business writing has

4. PUNCTUATION + FORMATTING
-- what I actually use and how often

5. FIVE LINES THAT COULD ONLY BE MINE
-- quote them exactly from my samples

Rules:
-- Cite a real quote for every claim you make
-- If a pattern shows up in fewer than 2 samples, don't list it
-- Output under 250 words

Prompt #1 → The CV Deep Dive (Get an Honest Assessment)

You are a senior recruiter with 15 years of experience reviewing CVs across multiple industries.

I just uploaded my CV. Analyze it thoroughly and give me:

1. **Top 3 Strengths**: What stands out positively? What would make a recruiter stop and read more carefully?

2. **Top 3 Weaknesses**: What's missing, unclear, or working against me? Be direct.

3. **First Impression Score** (1-10): If a recruiter spent 6 seconds scanning this CV (which is the average), what score would they give it and why?

4. **ATS Compatibility Check**: Would this CV pass through Applicant Tracking Systems? Flag any formatting issues, missing keywords, or structural problems.

5. **Experience Level Assessment**: Based on my CV, what seniority level do I realistically qualify for? (Entry / Mid / Senior / Lead / Executive)

Be honest, not encouraging. I need the truth, not a pep talk.

Prompt #2 → The Career Compass (Find Your Best-Fit Roles)

You are a career strategist who specializes in matching candidates to roles where they'll have the highest chance of getting hired.

Based on the CV you just analyzed, give me:

1. **Top 5 Job Titles** I should be targeting, ranked by how likely I am to get hired. For each one:
   - Why I'm a strong fit
   - What percentage of the job requirements I likely meet (be realistic)
   - Expected salary range for [YOUR COUNTRY/REGION]

2. **3 "Hidden Gem" Roles** I probably haven't considered but would be a great fit for based on my transferable skills. Explain why.

3. **Roles to Avoid**: Any popular job titles I might be tempted to apply for but would likely get filtered out? Tell me why so I don't waste my time.

4. **Industry Sweet Spots**: Which 2-3 industries would value my specific skill combination the most?

Focus on roles where I'd be a competitive candidate, not aspirational stretches.

Prompt #3 → The CV Optimizer (Make Recruiters Stop Scrolling)

You are a professional CV writer who has helped 500+ candidates land interviews at top companies.

Based on my CV and the roles we identified as my best targets, give me:

1. **Summary/Profile Rewrite**: Write me a new professional summary (3-4 sentences) optimized for my top target role. Make it specific, not generic.

2. **Experience Bullet Rewrites**: Take my 3 weakest experience bullets and rewrite them using the STAR format (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Add specific metrics wherever possible. If I didn't include numbers, suggest realistic ones I should quantify.

3. **Missing Keywords**: List 10-15 keywords I should add to my CV based on my target roles. Tell me exactly where to place each one.

4. **Section Order**: Should I reorganize my CV sections? What order would be strongest for my target roles?

5. **One-Page Test**: If I had to cut this CV to one page, what would you remove? What absolutely stays?

Give me the actual rewritten text I can copy-paste, not just suggestions.
