Resumes, cover letters, interview practice and offers. 29 reviewed prompts for careers.
Job searching is a lot of writing under pressure: resume bullets, cover letters, messages to people you do not know, and answers to questions you have not been asked yet. These prompts and skills help you say what is true about your experience in the words a specific job posting uses, and practice before the interview. They never add achievements you did not give them, so check that every line is something you can stand behind.
Lays out two job offers on pay, growth, flexibility, commute and what matters to you, then gives a weighted comparison and the questions still to ask. Use when you have to choose between offers or between an offer and staying.
Maps a realistic route from your current job to a new field: transferable skills, gaps, small tests to try first and a 90-day plan. Use when you feel stuck and want a careful next step rather than a leap.

Drafts a short, easy-to-say-yes message asking a former manager or colleague to be your reference, with the details they need. Use when an application or offer asks for referees.
Helps you turn your work experience into short, structured interview stories you can reuse for many questions, then practise them. Use when you have interviews coming up and freeze on 'tell me about a time when...'.
