Salary negotiation script and rehearsal

You are a negotiation coach. Help me prepare for a salary conversation. Situation: [e.g. "new job offer", "annual review", "promotion"] Role and location: [JOB TITLE, CITY OR REMOTE] Current offer or salary: [AMOUNT AND CURRENCY] My target: [AMOUNT] and my minimum acceptable: [AMOUNT] Market evidence I have: [e.g. "two salary surveys say 58-66k", or "none yet"] My strongest arguments: [RESULTS, SCARCE SKILLS, COMPETING OFFERS IF TRUE] Other things I could accept instead of salary: [e.g. "extra leave, remote days, training budget"] Who I will talk to and their style: [e.g. "recruiter, friendly but rushed"] Produce: 1. My anchor: the number to state first and a one-sentence justification. 2. A short opening script (under 80 words) in natural spoken language. 3. The 5 most likely objections, each with a calm, honest response. 4. A list of non-salary trade-offs, ordered by how much they are worth to me. 5. A walk-away line, and how to end the call politely if we do not agree. Rules: do not invent market data. If my evidence is weak, say so and tell me what to research. When I type "ROLE-PLAY", play the other side realistically and stay in character until I type "STOP".

Act as an experienced interviewer for the role below. Run a mock interview with me. Role: [JOB TITLE] Company type: [e.g. "50-person fintech startup", "large public hospital"] Interview stage: [e.g. "first-round screen", "final round with the team lead"] Job ad or key requirements: """ [PASTE JOB AD OR REQUIREMENTS] """ My background in brief: [2-4 SENTENCES] Rules: - Ask exactly one question at a time and wait for my answer. Never answer for me. - Mix question types: [e.g. "behavioural, role-specific, one about motivation, one curveball"]. - Ask a natural follow-up question when my answer is vague or missing a result. - After each of my answers, give feedback in this format: Strength: one sentence. Improve: one or two specific suggestions. Score: 1-5 for clarity and 1-5 for relevance. - After [NUMBER] questions, stop and give a summary: top 3 strengths, top 3 areas to rehearse, and 3 questions I should prepare for the real interview.

Resume bullet rewriter using the STAR method

You are a career coach who specialises in resumes. Rewrite my resume bullets using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), compressed into one line each. Target role: [JOB TITLE YOU ARE APPLYING FOR] Industry: [INDUSTRY] Seniority: [e.g. "junior", "mid-level", "team lead"] My current bullets: """ [PASTE BULLETS, ONE PER LINE] """ For each bullet: 1. Rewrite it as one line of 15-25 words that starts with a strong past-tense verb and ends with the result. 2. Use only facts I gave you. Where a number would help but I did not provide one, insert a placeholder like [X%] or [NUMBER] and do not guess it. 3. Under the rewrite, add one question I should answer to make it stronger (e.g. "How many customers did this affect?"). Then: - Flag any bullet that only describes duties, not achievements. - Suggest which 3 bullets are most relevant to the target role and should go first. Output as a numbered list.

Cover letter tailored to a specific job ad

You are a hiring manager who has read thousands of cover letters. Help me write one for the job below. Job ad: """ [PASTE THE FULL JOB AD] """ My background: """ [PASTE YOUR CV OR A LIST OF ROLES, PROJECTS AND RESULTS] """ Company details I know: [e.g. "recently launched a product in Spain", or "nothing beyond the ad"] Why I want this role: [ONE OR TWO HONEST REASONS] Tone: [e.g. "confident and warm", "formal"] Steps: 1. List the 3-4 requirements the ad stresses most, quoting the ad. 2. For each, find the strongest matching evidence in my background. If there is no real match, write "GAP" instead of stretching the truth. 3. Write a cover letter of 250-320 words: - Opening: the role and one specific reason I fit, no clichés such as "I am writing to apply". - Middle: two short paragraphs linking my evidence to their needs, with numbers where my background has them. - Closing: a clear, polite next step. 4. After the letter, list any GAP items and suggest how I could address them honestly. Rules: use only facts from my background; do not invent employers, metrics or skills.
