Ten prompts. Eight worksheets. And the two risks nobody selling prompt packs will mention.

Context for everything that follows in this conversation.

I am job-hunting. My target role is [TARGET ROLE] in [INDUSTRY].
My current or most recent role is [CURRENT ROLE].
I have [N] years of experience.
The seniority I am aiming for is [junior / mid / senior / lead / director].

Three rules for this whole conversation:
1. Never invent a number, a client name, a company, or a result.
   If you need a fact I have not given you, write [I NEED THIS FROM YOU]
   and keep going.
2. Do not use the words: passionate, driven, results-oriented, dynamic,
   seasoned, proven track record, detail-oriented, team player.
3. Write at a plain reading level. Short sentences. No decoration.

You are a technical recruiter who has screened thousands of LinkedIn
profiles for [INDUSTRY]. You are blunt and you do not flatter.

Step 1. Decide which archetype fits me. Say why in one sentence.

- PRACTITIONER — same function, more senior.
  [Target role] · [Signature skill] · [Metric or outcome]
- BRIDGE — changing function or industry.
  [Prior role] → [Target role] · [Bridging skill] · [Proof]
- SPECIALIST — narrow niche, selling depth.
  [Niche title] · [Signature method] · I help [audience] [outcome]

Step 2. Write THREE headlines using only that archetype's formula.

Rules:
- Hard limit 220 characters. Show the character count for each.
- Each must contain one number, tool, or credential.
- Use only facts I give you below.
- After the three, list what you'd need from me to make them stronger.

My current role:
My target role:
Three things I've done that I can prove with a number:

You are writing the About section of my LinkedIn profile using this
exact structure. Do not deviate from it.

PARAGRAPH 1 — HOOK. One or two sentences, maximum 220 characters total,
because LinkedIn truncates after roughly that point and everything after
it is invisible unless someone clicks. It must state what I do and for
whom, concretely. It may not begin with "Passionate," "Experienced,"
"As a," or "With over X years."

PARAGRAPH 2 — PROOF. Exactly three lines. Each line is one accomplishment
containing one number I have given you. No adjectives.

PARAGRAPH 3 — CTA. One sentence naming exactly who should contact me and
about what, plus how to reach me.

Then show me PARAGRAPH 1 alone, so I can see what a recruiter sees before
they click "see more."

Use only what I give you below.

What I do and for whom:
Three accomplishments with numbers:
Who I want to hear from:
How to reach me:

You are an interviewer who is skeptical of vague accomplishments.

I am going to describe something I did at work in plain language, with
no numbers, because I don't think it had any.

Your job is to ask me up to eight short questions that might surface a
number hiding in it. Consider: time saved, time to complete, frequency,
volume, headcount affected, error rate, cost, revenue, retention,
adoption, before-versus-after states, and how many people did this job
before versus after.

Ask the questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before the next one.

Do not write a resume bullet. Do not suggest numbers. Only ask.

When we're done, list every number I gave you and mark each one:
- HARD (I can document it)
- SOFT (a defensible estimate)
- WEAK (I'm guessing — do not use this on a resume)

Here's what I did:

Rewrite each bullet I give you into this formula:

"Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y] by doing [Z]."

You may reorder the clauses so it reads naturally, but all three parts
must be present in every bullet.

Rules:
- Start with a past-tense action verb. Never "Responsible for."
- Maximum 2 lines when printed.
- Every bullet contains a number I gave you. If a bullet has no number,
  output it as: [NEEDS A METRIC — run the Metric Excavation on this one]
- Cut every adjective and adverb.
- Do not merge two of my bullets into one.

For each bullet, show: BEFORE, then AFTER, then one line on what changed.

My bullets:

Below is a job posting. Extract the vocabulary, do not summarize it.

Produce four lists:

1. HARD REQUIREMENTS — tools, certifications, languages, platforms
   named explicitly.
2. REPEATED PHRASES — any noun phrase appearing more than once. Note
   the count.
3. TITLE VARIANTS — every way the posting names this role or adjacent ones.
4. SOFT REQUIREMENTS — behavioural phrases, quoted exactly as written.

Then produce a table with three columns:
TERM | WHERE IT SHOULD APPEAR (headline / About / skills / bullet) | EXACT WORDING TO USE

Rule: use the posting's exact wording, not a synonym. If the posting says
"stakeholder management," do not write "cross-functional collaboration."

Do not tell me to claim anything. I will decide what I actually match.

Job posting:

You are a hiring manager for [TARGET ROLE]. You have 249 other applicants
and eleven minutes. You are not trying to be fair. You are trying to
reduce the pile.

I'll paste my LinkedIn headline, About section, and top six resume bullets.

Give me:
1. The first thing you'd assume about me in three seconds. One sentence.
2. The three fastest reasons you'd move me to the "no" pile.
3. Anything that reads as filler, in a list, quoted exactly.
4. The single sentence that made you most likely to keep reading — and
   what to do with the rest of the profile given that.
5. One question you'd ask in a screen that my materials do not answer.

Be specific and be harsh. Do not compliment anything to soften it.

My materials:

You are helping me write the first line of a LinkedIn post. The first
line is the whole job — everything after it is hidden behind "see more."

I'll give you a topic from my actual work. Write four opening lines, one
in each shape:

- OBSERVATION — something true about my field that most people get wrong.
- STORY — drop the reader into a specific moment. Names a time and place.
- NUMBER — leads with a real figure from my own work.
- QUESTION — a real question I don't have a settled answer to.

Rules:
- Maximum 12 words each.
- No "Here's what I learned." No "Let that sink in." No "Unpopular opinion."
- No emoji. No line breaks between single words.
- The NUMBER version uses only a figure I gave you.

Then tell me which of the four fits my topic best and why, in one sentence.

My topic:
The number attached to it, if any:

Sort each credential I list into exactly one category:

- GATEKEEPER — without it I cannot legally or practically hold the role.
- CREDENTIAL-OF-THE-ROLE — hiring managers in this field expect it.
- PORTFOLIO-PROXY — it substitutes for experience I don't have yet.
- CUT — none of the above.

Rules:
- Judge against my target role, not against my history.
- Anything you can't justify in one sentence goes in CUT.
- If a credential is over five years old in a field that has moved on,
  say so.
- Be willing to put most of them in CUT. That is the expected outcome.

For each one: CATEGORY | one-sentence justification | keep on resume yes/no

My target role:
My credentials, with the year I earned each:

Write a LinkedIn message asking for a referral.

Two versions:
A) WEAK TIE — we've met once or twice, or not at all but share context.
B) STRONG TIE — we worked together directly.

Both must:
- Be under 120 words.
- Name the specific role and company in the first sentence.
- Give one concrete reason I'm a fit, using a fact I gave you.
- Make it easy to say no. An explicit out, in plain words.
- Ask for exactly one thing.
- Have no flattery opening. Never "Hope you're doing well!"

The WEAK TIE version must state where our paths crossed in one clause.
The STRONG TIE version may reference shared work directly and be shorter.

Person:
How I know them:
Role and company:
One fact that makes me a fit:
