This is such a smart, timely guide, especially the emphasis on moving beyond the two flawed extremes of job hunting. The most successful applicants won’t be the ones who let AI write for them, but those who use it to work smarter, narrowing focus, tailoring messaging, and negotiating from a place of clarity. This could genuinely change how people approach career transitions.
Love this guide! Another technique I've used at Phase 1 was this prompt, suggested by Austin Belcak at Cultivated Culture:
“I am struggling with gaining clarity on which career paths are right for me. I’m attaching my resume here.
Please craft a 10-20 question assessment that covers a wide range of topics including my background, interests, skills, things to avoid, and anything else you feel is relevant.
Please ask me each question on at a time. When I answer, store my answer. At the end analyze all of my answers and share 3 different job titles / career paths that align along with a summary of why you feel each could be a fit.”
