Prompt Mini-Project: Resume, Cover Letter, and Real Estate

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.

Prompt:"Evaluate this property listing: [insert link]. Provide a cap rate calculation, financing scenarios (VA loan, seller financing, conventional), and a summary of neighborhood factors (crime, schools, appreciation trends). Conclude with pros/cons and whether it fits my long-term passive income strategy."

These three prompts serve as flexible templates for future use. I can now apply them to new jobs, projects, or deals with minor adjustments, saving time and ensuring consistency.
