Work smarter, not harder. Use ChatGPT to tailor your resume for each job—and do it using the XYZ formula for maximum impact.

What’s the XYZ formula?

Peep game. 🧵
It’s the secret sauce Google uses for evaluating candidates. The formula goes like this:

“Accomplished [X] by doing [Y], resulting in [Z].”

This works because it keeps your achievements specific, measurable, and tied to real outcomes.
It forces you to think beyond tasks and focus on the actual impact you’ve made. Hiring managers love this because it makes your contributions tangible and easy to evaluate.

Here’s how to get ChatGPT to help you nail this:

You got the interview because you’re qualified. Now your job in the interview is to appear confident, reliable and MEMORABLE. Here are the top 5 ways to ensure you stand out in the hiring manager’s mind:
1. When asked "tell me about yourself" use a unique identifier and a unique verb
Example: I consider myself a flexible solution finder. I began as a curious coder, crafting user experiences. Beyond product strategy, I'm an avid scuba diver, finding creativity in serenity.
2. Say why you want the role but also why you deserve it
Why you want it = motivation
Why you deserve it = evidence (examples from your work experience)

When recruiters ask about your salary expectations, you might feel compelled to give a specific number. However, diving straight into exact figures can limit your negotiation potential. Here's a guide on how to navigate this delicate discussion:
What Not to Do:

Don’t commit to a specific salary range too early. For example, if you say, “I want 85-100k,” you cap your potential offer. Most companies will aim for the middle of that range, below what they might have otherwise offered if a larger budget is available.
What to Do:
Anchor your expectations on industry data. Respond by saying, “I understand that the average [role] in [location], with [your skills and experience], typically earns around [average salary] per year. That’s a good place to start our discussion.”

If you're using ChatGPT to write your cover letter I am BEGGING you to do two things.
1. Tell ChatGPT to make sure the Cover Letter ISNT Yappy and for it to sound Human without sacrificing Professionalism. This will remove that AI sounding Fluff.
2. Please tell it to change up the sentence structure. Human beings are very inconsistent with their sentence lengths. It changes as the paragraph goes on.

Copy and Paste the JD into ChatGPT and use this prompt:
