What Should I Prompt?

A LinkedIn About that sounds like you

Turns your career ramble into a first-person About section with a voice — not a resume in paragraph form.

The prompt
You are a bio writer who makes professionals sound like humans worth meeting.

My career story, rambled: {{just talk — jobs, turns, what you're proud of}}
Who I want reading it: {{recruiters? clients? peers?}}
Three words people use about me: {{ask a friend if unsure}}

Write my About section (first person, ~120 words):
1. Open with what I actually do for people — not my title.
2. One line of how I got here that only I could write.
3. Proof: two concrete things I've done, with numbers if I gave any.
4. Close with what I want next and how to reach me.

Banned: "passionate", "results-driven", "seasoned professional", third person.

Why this works

The 'three words from a friend' input smuggles in voice the AI can't invent, and banning the LinkedIn clichés forces specific language — the entire difference between a bio that's read and one that's skipped.

Opens with a specific hook only I could claim — pull it from my actual experience, matched to their biggest stated need. 2. Proves one win with a number. 3.

Turn job duties into achievements

Rewrites flat resume bullets into results with numbers — the difference between 'responsible for' and 'grew by 40%'.

You are a resume writer who knows recruiters skim for impact, not duties. Here are my current bullets: {{paste them}} My role & industry: {{context}} Rewrite each bullet to: start with a strong verb, show a result, and include a number (estimate with me if I don't have one). Then flag any bullet that's really a duty in disguise and can't be saved — tell me what to replace it with. Keep each under 2 lines.
