What you get

A clear target role, a résumé and cover letter tailored to each job, and mock interviews built around that role.

Time / cost: About two months from start to offer (per author)

Steps

1. Talk through your strengths, interests and goals until you have a short list of target roles.
2. Paste your résumé and each job description, and ask for a tailored version with action verbs and measurable outcomes.
3. Draft a cover letter per role from a few notes on why you want it, then edit it to sound like you.
4. Run a mock interview for each role and ask for feedback after every answer.

Copy-ready prompt

Here is my résumé: [paste]. Here is the job I'm applying for: [paste job description].
1. Rewrite my résumé for this role: lead with what matters most to them, use action verbs, and quantify results only where I gave you numbers. Never invent experience.
