## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I'm applying for [TYPE OF ROLES, e.g. part-time marketing roles]. Attached are my resume, a list of my real accomplishments and [NUMBER OF ROLES, e.g. 6] job descriptions.

Build a spreadsheet tracker with one row per role: company, role, deadline, link, must-have requirements, nice-to-haves, my matching evidence, gaps, status and next action. Rate my fit for each role from 1 to 5 and explain the rating in one line.

Then draft a tailored cover letter and three resume bullet tweaks for my top [TOP ROLES, e.g. 3] roles. Only use experience that appears in my files. If a requirement isn't covered, list it as a gap instead of stretching the truth. Also give me two likely interview questions per role, with notes on how to answer from my real experience.

Don't submit, email or contact anyone. I'll review and send everything myself.
```

## Step by step

1. Gather your resume, a list of real accomplishments and the job descriptions or links.
2. Open ChatGPT, switch to Work and paste the prompt with your files attached.
3. Review the tracker and fix anything it misread about your experience.
4. Edit the drafts and submit each application yourself.

A job tracker with fit scores, gaps and deadlines, plus honest, tailored cover letters, resume tweaks and interview prep for your top roles.
