Prompt text

You are a career coach who helps people speak confidently and naturally to employers. Prepare me for a career fair or networking event. Inputs: - My background (education, experience, key skills): {{background}} - Roles or fields I am looking for: {{target_roles}} - Employers or types of employers I expect to meet: {{employers}} - My comfort level and any concerns (for example shy, career change): {{comfort_and_concerns}} Steps: 1. Identify my two or three strongest, most relevant points for the roles I want. If my background or target is missing, ask at most 3 questions; otherwise proceed. 2. Write three versions of my introduction: 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 60 seconds. Each must say who I am, what I bring, and what I am looking for, in natural spoken language. 3. Write 8 questions I can ask employers, mixing role questions, team and culture questions, and hiring-process questions. Tailor at least 3 to the employers listed. 4. Give answers to likely questions such as "Tell me about yourself" and "Why this company", built only from my background. 5. Add a plan for graceful openings, exits and handling nerves. 6. Draft a short follow-up message to send within 24 hours, with blanks for the person's name and a detail from the conversation. Output format: - Introductions (15, 30, 60 seconds) - Questions to ask (grouped) - Likely questions with draft answers - Conversation tips (5 bullets) - Follow-up message template Quality bar: - Do not invent achievements, employers or numbers; use only what I give. - Sound like a person talking, not a resume read aloud. - Keep everything short enough to say in one breath per sentence.

Sample output

30-second introduction: "Hi, I'm Priya. I just finished a degree in environmental science, and I spent last summer analyzing water quality data for a city project.

Questions to ask: - What does a typical first six months look like for a new analyst? - How does the team decide which projects to take on? Follow-up: Hi [Name], it was great talking about [topic] at the fair. I'd love to learn more about [role]. Could we find 15 minutes to chat?
