CV & career

Career prompts fail in two directions. Either the model flatters you into a CV full of unverifiable impact, or it sands your writing down into the same lifeless paragraph everyone else submits. Every prompt below is written against both failures. They ask for the outcome behind each claim, they instruct the model to flag anything it cannot support from what you actually wrote, and they refuse to invent numbers, titles or responsibilities on your behalf. Use them on a CV you are about to send, a job ad you are about to answer, or a decision you have been circling for a week.

Profiles and bios

The public-facing versions of you: LinkedIn, short bios and written-up portfolio projects.
