Resume, cover letter, work email, and interview prep with AI.
16 articles
Job hunting is one of the highest-ROI use cases for AI — every application needs personalization, and you do it under time pressure. This hub collects reusable prompts for resumes, cover letters, work emails, interview prep, and salary negotiation. Each piece shows the shortest path "from zero to submitted" — not abstract claims that AI can help.
New to this hub? Read these three first to get a complete workflow:
Rewrite your resume with Claude Opus 4.7 or GPT-5.5 so it passes Workday and Greenhouse parsers, matches the target JD, and survives a recruiter's 20-second scan — with the prompt, the refinement loop, and the failure modes (June 2026).
67% of hiring managers can spot an AI cover letter and 54% view it negatively. Here is the copy-paste prompt that writes the version they actually finish, plus the 3-round loop that strips the AI tone.
Use ChatGPT or Claude to send a 130-word follow-up that recalls one specific moment from the interview and ties it to one concrete contribution — not the 'thank you for your time' template hiring managers read 200 times a month.

Use AI to read a JD properly: split real must-haves from buzzwords, map your background, surface honest gaps, and predict the interview questions before you apply.
Turn a blank LinkedIn About (or 2019 buzzword soup) into a recruiter-scannable bio with positioning, two real numbers, and a specific 'open to' line — in 20 minutes. Updated June 2026.
Turn a Friday's worth of messy notes, half-Slacks, and unresolved decisions into a 200-word manager update your boss reads in 2 minutes — with the one ask where they'll see it.
Write cold networking emails that get replies: one specific reason, under 120 words, one 15-minute ask. AI fills the wrapper; you write the why-them.
Walk into a 20-minute 1:1 with 3 priority-ranked bullets, one specific ask, and a predicted follow-up — instead of letting your manager drive the whole 'how's it going.' Copy-ready prompt inside.

Turn a folder of half-remembered wins and one nagging gap into a calibrated, balanced performance review draft — for yourself or a report — without it reading like ChatGPT, and without softening the feedback that needs to land.
Turn a year of design docs, launches, and metrics into a 600-word promotion packet that reads like impact at the next level, not a chronological task log. Prompts, tool choice, and privacy notes for June 2026.
Write a self-intro that doesn't sound like everyone else's: 1 line of background + 2 metric-anchored highlights + 1 line on why this role, timed to ~145 words for a clean 60 seconds.
Rehearse your counter-offer against an AI recruiter that pushes back like a real one. Anchor with 2026 market data, hold your floor, and spot where you waver first.
For each STAR story, have AI generate 5 ranked interviewer follow-ups, a hand-wave gap detector, and 30-second answer skeletons — then drill the one that exposes you.
Turn a frustrated 11pm Slack draft into a sendable message that names the issue, makes the specific ask, and doesn't burn the bridge. Copy-ready prompt plus 3 tone variants to match the person.
Turn scattered notes into a 10-slide work presentation outline with AI: one message, three evidence-backed points, scannable slide titles, and a concrete CTA. Prompt + tool picks (June 2026).

Turn raw work experience into 3 structured STAR interview answers (Situation / Task / Action / Result) — plus the follow-up questions to rehearse, with a copy-paste prompt template.
