Pro Tip

The more specific you are when replacing the [brackets], the better your result. For example instead of writing [Job Title] write "Senior Software Engineer with 5 years experience" — specificity is what separates a good AI response from a great one.

This prompt works best with ChatGPT . If you are not happy with the first result, try adding "make it more concise" or "give me 3 alternative versions" as a follow-up message.
