- Step 5 💪 Do
Tailor the resume to the JD
The single highest-impact 10 minutes per application.
Show the mission prompt
Here's my resume: [paste]. Here's the job description: [paste]. Rewrite my summary and my top 5 bullet points to mirror THIS job's language — honestly, using only experience I actually have. Show me which JD keywords you matched, and flag which requirements I genuinely don't meet so I can address them in the cover letter.
- Step 6 💪 Do
The cover letter that isn't generic
Three paragraphs, one story, zero "I am writing to express interest".
Show the mission prompt
Write a cover letter for [role] at [company]. Use this: my strongest relevant experience [describe], one thing about the company I genuinely find compelling [describe], and why this role fits my direction. 3 short paragraphs, confident but not arrogant, no clichés. Give 2 versions with different opening hooks.
- Step 7 💪 Do
Interview sparring
Rehearse out loud with an interviewer who pushes back.
Show the mission prompt
You're interviewing me for [role]. Here's the JD: [paste] and my resume: [paste]. Ask me one question at a time — mix behavioral and role-specific, include the uncomfortable ones ("gap in your resume", "why are you leaving"). After each answer: score it, tell me what a strong answer includes, and let me retry once. 8 questions, then a final report on my weak spots. - Step 8 💪 Do
The LinkedIn glow-up
Recruiters search LinkedIn before they read resumes.
Show the mission prompt
Rewrite my LinkedIn headline and About section. I'm [current role] moving toward [target role]. My real strengths: [list]. Make the headline searchable (keywords recruiters use), the About human — first person, specific, ends with what I'm looking for. 2 versions: safe and bold.

- Step 9 💪 Do
Negotiate the offer
The 20-minute prep that's worth thousands.
Show the mission prompt
I have an offer: [role, salary, benefits]. Market context: [what you know]. Help me prepare the negotiation: what's realistically negotiable here, my counter (number + how to phrase it), responses to "that's our best offer" and "what are you currently making", and the walk-away line. Then role-play it — you're the recruiter, be realistic, not kind.

- Step 12 💪 Do
The application sprint system
Capstone: quality AND volume, systematized.
Show the mission prompt
Help me build an application system. Interview me about my target roles, then create: (1) a base resume with swap-in blocks per role type, (2) a JD-analysis prompt that outputs what to emphasize, (3) a tracker structure (company, role, status, follow-up date), (4) a weekly routine — how many applications, how much networking, when to follow up. Realistic for someone doing this alongside [work/studies].
