For this mini-project, I asked ChatGPT to generate sample prompts based on my most common usage patterns within my project folders. It came up with about a dozen suggestions, and I selected three to share here. These are now templates I’ll continue refining with tweaks, nuances, and specific applications. 1. Resume Prompt Role → Task → Context → Output (RTCO): - Role: Resume Builder & Editor - Task: Tailor a resume for a specific job description while maintaining consistent formatting. - Context: Applicant with government, private sector, and entrepreneurial experience seeking roles in communications, education, or business. - Output: A polished, ATS-friendly resume draft aligned with the job posting. Prompt:"Act as a resume builder. Using my comprehensive resume as a base, tailor it to match the attached job description. Keep formatting consistent and ensure alignment with required skills, keywords, and professional tone. Provide the draft in Word format with clear section headers." 2. Cover Letter Prompt Role → Task → Context → Output (RTCO): - Role: Cover Letter Writer - Task: Create a targeted cover letter that aligns skills with the job description. - Context: Experienced professional with background in leadership, administration, and project management. - Output: One-page cover letter with professional tone and clear alignment to employer needs. Prompt:"Write a one-page cover letter for the attached job posting. Highlight transferable skills, leadership experience, and specific achievements that align with the role. Keep the tone professional yet authentic, and ensure it complements my resume without repeating it." 3. Real Estate Prompt Role → Task → Context → Output (RTCO): - Role: Real Estate Analyst - Task: Analyze a property listing for investment potential. - Context: Investor using cap rate, cash flow, and financing structures (e.g., VA loan, conventional, seller financing) to evaluate multi-unit opportunities. - Output: A structured analysis including property summary, cap rate calculation, pros/cons, and financing options.

I am urging Ian to use AI to create content to post on a more regular basis for his Pokemon hobby. As a teenager it is a tricky sell to take time away from his friends and games in between school work though. I keep drop hints though and showing him the content.
