The prompt
Help me plan a focused job search. Target roles: [TARGET ROLES] Location or remote preference: [LOCATION] Hours per week for the search: [WEEKLY TIME] What has or hasn't worked so far: [CONTEXT] Create: 1. A weekly routine split between applications, networking, skill-building and rest. 2. Criteria to decide which jobs are worth a tailored application. 3. A simple tracking table (columns and what to record) I can copy into a spreadsheet. 4. Three outreach message templates: to a former colleague, to a recruiter, and to someone in a role I want. Keep it practical and sustainable. Don't promise results.
Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders. Fill them in below, or replace them yourself after copying.

We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.
Tips
- Personalize every outreach message; templates are a starting point, not something to send as-is.
Limitations
- AI can make mistakes. Check names, facts and figures before you use the result.
