The prompt
Act as a career coach who helps people change fields. Current role and field: [CURRENT ROLE] Target role and field: [TARGET ROLE] Time I can invest each week: [WEEKLY TIME] Constraints (finances, location, family): [CONSTRAINTS] My experience and skills: [EXPERIENCE] Please: 1. Map my skills to the target role: which transfer directly, which partly, and which are missing. 2. Identify the 3 biggest gaps and the most practical way to close each (project, course, volunteering, internal move). 3. Suggest how to describe my background so it's relevant to the new field, without overstating it. 4. Build a 90-day plan with weekly actions that fit my available time. 5. Name the risks of this move and what would tell me it's working or not. Be realistic. Don't promise outcomes or timelines you can't know.
