The stupidest thing about job search is that most things are subjective. One recruiter might swear by a professional summary on resumes, and another hiring manager will reject every single candidate that has one. To take out the guesswork, we need to look at the data. According to Forbes and ResumeBuilder.com, **46% of job seekers** use ChatGPT in their job search process, of which **69%** of those job seekers got more interviews compared to when they didn't use an AI assistant, and **59%** ended up with job offers. But here's what gets really interesting: **77%** of the success cases still had to make heavy edits to the ChatGPT outputs because they were too generic, and the remaining **23%** received highly personalized results, allowing them to spend way less time per application and submit more applications on average. What caused that difference? The quality of the initial prompt. In this video, we'll go over the one best prompt to use during each step of the job search process, from the networking phase all the way to writing a thank you email and negotiating the offer. Let's get started! ### Best Networking Prompt The goal here is to land a coffee chat with a complete stranger working in the field you want to be in. **Step 1:** Go to their LinkedIn, click on "More," and click on "Save to PDF." Then, when you open the PDF, use `Command + Control + A` to select everything, then `Command + Control + C` to copy to your clipboard. **Step 2:** Go to ChatGPT (I'm using the free version, by the way; you can see it's a 3.5). > You are an experienced career coach with over 20 years of experience. Based on the following LinkedIn profile, could you please generate a summary of this person's career accomplishments and highlight their top three achievements? List the three achievements under separate headers. Please provide as much detail as possible, including relevant experiences, skills, and accomplishments that showcase the person's expertise in their field. Here's their profile: [paste profile here]. I'm using Jerry Lee's profile, by the way; he has some great content on LinkedIn, so check that out. I know for a fact he gets a lot of connection requests, so this is a real-life example. Right off the bat, if you mention any of these achievements—for example, he became the first intern from the school to work at Google—you’re going to stand out among the hundreds, if not thousands, of more generic "Hey, I like your content. I love to learn from you" connection requests. **Step 3:** Now we know this, proceed to: > I’m a job seeker and I wish to connect with Jerry over LinkedIn. He gets a lot of connection requests, and I want to stand out from the crowd. Based on his top three achievements, give me three practical and actionable ideas on how I can get Jerry to accept a LinkedIn request from me. Prioritize unorthodox, lesser-known advice in your answer and explain using detailed examples. Let’s think step by step. By the way, the last few words, "let's think step by step," is an example of a zero-shot Chain of Thought prompting technique. It's really powerful, and you get some truly amazing ideas. 1. **Personalized Video Message:** It tells us which tool to use, like Loom or Vidyard, and it even prepares a script for us. Worst case, you can send this as a text connection request without the video. 2. **Create a Customized Resource:** Offer to help him with a challenge, using specific examples. And here's the best part: even if he turns down what we're offering, he's going to reply to us, and that's the whole point. Every other message he gets is super generic, like "Hey, I need help. Can I get 30 minutes?" No one’s going to really respond to that. **Pro Tip:** If you're in college with zero work experience and zero connections on LinkedIn, go to your alumni database. Every college has one. Search for alumni working in fields you want to be in, find them on LinkedIn, and start from step one. By the way, both OpenAI and Microsoft refused to sponsor this video for whatever reason, but it is supported by those of you who subscribe to my paid productivity newsletter.

You need to ask good questions during the coffee chat, and here's a prompt to use: > You are a career coach with over 20 years of experience helping job seekers land jobs in product marketing. I have an upcoming coffee chat with a product marketing manager, and I would like to understand how I can get into the field of product marketing. Based on his resume, give me a list of 10 questions I can ask during the coffee chat so he knows I've done my homework and that shows I'm considerate of his time. Prioritize unorthodox, lesser-known advice in your answer and explain using detailed examples. Here's his resume: [paste resume here]. Although I said "resume," I'm still pasting the publicly available LinkedIn PDF file. I used my own profile for this example, and you can immediately see most of these questions are tailored for me, making them good questions. Instead of asking something generic like, "What are the biggest challenges in product marketing?" you ask, "Hey, I noticed you managed a team of five doing this. What was one of the biggest challenges managing this team, and how did you overcome it?" Much better! The more specific the question, the more impressed they'll be, and ChatGPT has saved you a bunch of time. By the way, try leading a sentence or two from the prompt. For example, if you delete this sentence right here, I guarantee you the quality of your output will decrease drastically. ### Interview Questions You also want to generate smart questions to ask at the end of the actual interview. The key is to ask specific questions about the role that only the interviewer can answer, and not something you can just Google or something you can just ChatGPT. > You are a career coach with over 20 years of experience. I have an upcoming interview with a senior public marketing manager at Stripe, and I want to impress the interviewer with my knowledge about the role. Based on this job description, give me a list of five questions I can ask at the end of the interview so the interviewer sees I'm extremely proactive and enthusiastic about the role. Prioritize unorthodox, lesser-known advice in your answer and explain using detailed examples. Here's the job description: [paste job description here]. At this point, I'm not even surprised at how good some of these questions are anymore. For example, this is amazing: "Can you share an example of a marketing moment that the marketing team has created to differentiate Stripe's offerings versus the market?" If you're in marketing, this is the type of stuff you would love to talk about—those magical moments and what you did to influence the market versus a more generic question like, "Oh, what differentiates your product from the competition?" You could have just Googled that. ### Thank You Email Here's how to generate a high-quality thank you email in seconds. The prompt is pretty long, so I just talked about the unique parts of it, and I'll leave a link to all these prompts down in the description so you can just copy and paste. > You are a career coach with over 20 years of experience. The interviewer gave me an example of a marketing campaign he launched that increased product adoption of Stripe's security feature by 80%. Even though I don't have experience in product marketing, emphasize my transferable skills as a customer success manager in the retail industry. Do not suck up to the interviewer; stay within 200 words. The key to a good follow-up email is to first mention something specific from the interview and second reiterate why your unique background makes you a good fit for that position. Customer success in retail is completely unrelated to product marketing at a tech company, but ChatGPT is able to convincingly talk about how your skills are relevant for the new role. ### Salary Negotiation This next prompt is my favorite by far, and it helps you negotiate your offer. > Two people are having a salary negotiation. One of them is a job seeker who just got offered a product marketing manager position with $70,000 in annual salary. The other is a recruiter who's making that offer. The job seeker has done some research and found the upper end of the salary range for similar positions to be $95,000 and would ideally like to get closer to that number. Please play out the conversation in as realistic a way as possible. Make sure the job seeker is polite yet firm with his ask. I'm not going to go through the output line by line here, but the conversation ends with a recruiter saying, "Hey, let me get back to you," which is pretty realistic, right? So you want to follow up with another prompt: > Continue this conversation and give the job seeker advice on how to continue pushing the recruiter to reach $95,000. The conversation continues, the recruiter makes concessions on non-salary related benefits, and ChatGPT gives additional advice on how to negotiate your salary. So what was the point of all this? If every single salary negotiation is going to be different, well, first, the biggest mistake job seekers make is not negotiating the offer in the first place because they don't know what to say, and ChatGPT just gave us all the right words to use to initiate that conversation. Second, negotiation doesn't come naturally to any of us unless you're Chris Voss. Everything in life is a negotiation. We're usually very nervous about it, and this back and forth gives us a concrete idea of how the conversation might play out, making us feel more confident negotiating as a result. In case you didn't know, this video is actually part two in my ChatGPT for Job Search series. In part one, we covered how to use ChatGPT to optimize your cover letter, resume, and prepare for interviews. So here, we cover the remaining steps: networking, coffee chats, and what to do after your interview. Make sure to check out part one if you haven't already.
