How to Use This Prompt

  2. Open ChatGPT or Claude
  3. Paste the prompt and replace anything in [brackets] with your own details
  4. Press Enter and get your result instantly

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.
