Click here for Prompt Library

The prompts in the prompt library (linked above) are for use (copy/paste) with Large Language Models (LLMs) such as Microsoft Co-Pilot or ChatGPT. Fields highlighted in purple indicate optional or customizable sections. Some of these fields have been pre-filled with sample information, which you should modify or delete as needed.

For each use, reflect on the results and follow best practices including:

  • Always validate the output with your own contextual understanding, personal experience, and emotional intelligence to ensure the results are both accurate and meaningful.
  • Always verify the accuracy of AI-generated content and personalize it to fit your reality, style, and voice. IEmployers are increasingly able to detect AI-generated content, so relying on automated outputs only may jeopardize your application.
  • Avoid inputting sensitive personal information (e.g., your full name, email address, cell number, etc.) or confidential employer information into AI tools to protect your privacy. The best practice is to avoid using AI when dealing with sensitive or confidential information.
  • Provide the AI with specific content, context, or information to improve the relevance and quality of the results. By providing the prompt with detailed instructions, examples, or sources (such as content from your resume or prior cover letters), you can guide the AI to produce more usable and personalized results.
  • Don’t hesitate to re-prompt and refine AI-generated content multiple times to achieve the best results.
