Use AI as a career coach
Are you at a point in your working life where you could use a gentle push and some advice to find direction? Maybe you're considering a job change. Maybe you've been made redundant and need to figure out what your next step should be. Either way, it can be reassuring not to go through the process alone.
Here, AI can actually become a good friend – one that always has time, never sleeps, and is really good at asking the right questions. It can help you put into words what you can do, what you dream of, and which opportunities might be just around the corner. All of this can make it a little easier to take the first step.
Find out what you can do — and how to use it
Do you want to gain more clarity about your possible career paths? Here you'll find three example prompts to help you get a better grasp of what you can do and how it creates value — tailored to your situation.
Context:
I am already employed and have been in the same position for several years — and I am curious about what my key skills, strengths, and possible career paths might be. I want to reflect on my experience, my tasks, and areas of responsibility to get a clear picture of what I can do and how I can use it going forward.
Role:
You are an experienced career advisor with in-depth knowledge of the labour market, recruitment, and skills assessment.

Tip: If you have the paid version, you can use ChatGPT Voice, where you can have a conversation with ChatGPT. This is ideal if, as in this case, you want to be interviewed and reflect on your experiences and goals.
Context:
I am a graduate and would like to identify the skills and strengths I have gained through my education, my subjects, and my thesis. I would also like to know which types of jobs, industries, and tasks I can apply for — as well as how I can best present my skills so that employers can see my potential.
Role:
You are a career advisor and recruitment expert with extensive experience in helping graduates translate their education into concrete job opportunities. You are familiar with both the academic and vocational labour markets and can explain things in a motivating, understandable, and down-to-earth way. You can identify strengths, suggest relevant industries and positions, and provide examples of wording I can use in my CV, application, and job interviews.
Instructions:
Start by asking me questions to gather the necessary information:
– What degree have I completed, and when did I finish it?
– Which subjects or specialisations did I have?
– What was my thesis, final project, or trade test about?
– Have I had any internships, student jobs, voluntary work, or other relevant experience?
– What types of tasks or working methods do I thrive with the most?
Then create an overview of my:
– Professional skills (e.g. specific abilities, methods, and tools).
– Personal strengths (e.g. related to work style, collaboration, and problem-solving).
– Transferable skills (abilities that can be applied across many industries).
Give me:
– Suggestions for job titles and roles that match my profile.
– Examples of industries where my skills are relevant.
– Suggestions for how I can present my strengths in a job application or interview (with example wording).

– Possible job titles and roles (bullet points).
– Relevant industries (bullet points).

– My next steps (bullet points with 3–5 specific actions).
Use AI as your job search advisor
Moving towards a new job can feel both exciting and challenging. You might wonder whether you have the right skills — or how best to stay up-to-date with everything happening in your industry. Here, AI can become your trusted partner.
With ChatGPT at your side, you can get inspiration on how to develop your skills step by step and find the resources that help you strengthen your professional expertise. At the same time, you can let AI keep you updated on trends, new requirements, and exciting companies, so you always feel well prepared when applying for jobs or attending interviews.
Skills development
Developing yourself can feel endless — where do you start? With AI, you can get inspiration for new courses, skills, and ways to put your competencies into practice, helping you take the steps that move you forward.
Context:
I would like to upskill in [area] because it is often requested in job postings I am interested in. Therefore, I want help to structure a learning programme and recommendations for learning resources, so I can get off to a good start and use my time effectively.
Role:
You are an experienced teacher and learning consultant with knowledge of both free and paid learning resources that can help me build a solid foundational level within a new skill area.
Instructions:
– Use the skill I specify (e.g. Excel pivot tables or Photoshop) as the starting point.
– Develop a learning programme that can be followed over roughly one week, divided into manageable steps.
– Include free resources such as YouTube videos, articles, online guides, or course platforms.
– Specify what I should practise each day and how I can measure whether I have understood the material.
– Add tips on how I can continue developing the skill after the first week.
Output format:
– A day-by-day learning programme for the first week.
– List of recommended resources (with links where possible).
– Suggestions for next steps after week 1 to build more advanced skills.
Tip: If you have the paid version, the Deep Research feature can make the learning programme more up-to-date, accurate, and practically useful, because it doesn't just answer based on its training but pulls updated information from multiple sources.
Research
AI can give you insights into trends and developments across industries and topics — and nudge you with selected news, so you can continuously stay engaged with progress in an area that interests you.
Context:
I want to stay updated on what is happening in my industry so that I can stay sharp in both job searching and job interviews. Therefore, I would like a weekly, easy-to-digest briefing with the most important skills, companies, and specific tips, so I am always ahead of developments.
Role:
You are my personal assistant and industry analyst, keeping track of trends, skill requirements, and company news in [industry] in Denmark.
Instructions:
– Prepare a short weekly briefing that includes: (1) three important skills I should develop right now, (2) two companies in the industry that are growing, hiring, or doing something interesting, and (3) one short tip on how I can use this knowledge in my job search or in job interviews.
– Keep the tone informative and action-oriented.
– Use only reliable and up-to-date sources.
Output format:
– Skills – a list of three bullet points with a short justification for each.
– Companies – a list of two bullet points, including the name, a short description, and why they are relevant.
– Tip – a few sentences with practical application in job searching or interviews.
Use AI as your CV and application assistant
Are you in the process of writing your CV and application? AI can be an effective sparring partner, helping you structure your experience, phrase things clearly, and put your skills into words. It can suggest engaging headlines, provide inspiration for wording, and ensure you fully showcase your strengths.
The most important thing you can do is stand out with your personality. Many others may also start using AI, which makes it crucial that you still keep your applications and interviews personal. Use AI as a foundation, but build on it with what only you can deliver as a human. Tell the stories AI doesn't know — about the time you resolved a conflict at work, or why you are passionate about this company's mission. These are the things that make an impression and set you apart from others.
This is what you need to remember
- Remember yourself, and who you are, when writing applications — everything else becomes impersonal.
- Don't take what AI tells you at face value — you know yourself best.
- AI isn't good with nuances — remember to think and interpret for yourself when reading job postings.
- Sometimes AI suggests things that don't fit — remember to fact-check and proofread.
- Be mindful of what you share when attaching personal documents — such as your CV.
Application
Solicited or unsolicited — applications can be difficult. AI can help you take the first step, giving you a clear foundation to build on.
Context:
I want to get started with a strong first draft of a job application. It should be a tailored, personal, and professional text that highlights my relevant skills and experience in relation to a specific job posting.
Role:
You are an experienced career advisor and copywriter, specialised in writing targeted, engaging, and persuasive job applications that maximise the chances of being invited to an interview.
Instructions:
– Use the inserted <job posting> and my attached CV as the basis.
– Draft an application that is: (1) tailored to the requirements of the position, (2) personal in tone but still professional, and (3) motivated and engaging — with a focus on my strengths.
– Clearly highlight how my experience and skills match the key points in the job posting.
– Ensure a logical structure with a strong introduction, a clear middle section, and a persuasive conclusion.
<job posting>
[insert job posting]
</job posting>
Output format:
– A complete, fully written application in prose.
– Divide into paragraphs with a clear structure.
– Use language that is easy for me to adapt and edit.
Context:
I find it time-consuming and overwhelming to identify companies that could be relevant for me to contact unsolicited. Instead of only looking for advertised positions, I want to identify interesting companies that match my profile, so I can target my outreach and increase my chances of creating opportunities.
Role:
You are an experienced research specialist and career advisor, skilled at identifying companies that fit my experience, skills, and interests.
Instructions:
– Use the information I provide about my profile as a starting point (e.g. my CV).
– Identify companies that: (1) match my industry, experience, and skills, (2) are located in a geographic area I specify, and (3) have a size (medium-sized, startup, large company) that I specify.
– Focus on both companies currently hiring and those where my profile could potentially be relevant in the future.
– Include both well-known and lesser-known companies to ensure the list is varied.
Output format:
– A list of at least 10 companies that match the criteria.
– A short description of each company (industry, size, what they do).
– Possible suggestions for which types of positions my profile could fit in at each company.
CV
Let's be honest: a CV can feel like a mountain you never quite reach the top of. What should be included, and what shouldn't? AI can help you create a clear framework, making it easier to put together the full picture of your experience.
Context:
I find that my CV is too general and not tailored to individual job postings. Therefore, I want to use my raw CV as the basis for creating a customised CV that matches the requirements and expectations of the specific job I am applying for. I want to present my experience, skills, and achievements in a way that increases my chances of being invited to an interview.
Role:
You are an experienced career advisor and CV writer, specialised in transforming a general CV into a tailored version that highlights the most relevant skills and achievements in relation to a specific job posting.
Instructions:
– Use my attached raw CV as the source for information about my experience, skills, and achievements.
– Use the inserted <job posting> below to identify the most relevant qualifications, keywords, and requirements.
– Select and highlight the experiences and achievements that best match the position.
– Ensure the structure is clear, professional, and easy to follow.
– Use language that is active, results-oriented, and tailored to the industry.
<job posting>
[insert job posting]
</job posting>
Output format:
– A complete, tailored CV in prose or bullet points, ready to be copied into a document.
– A short list of the keywords and skills from the job posting that have been used in the CV.
– Optional suggestions for sections or wording that could further strengthen the CV.
Context:
My CV is not optimised for the automated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that many companies use to screen candidates. Therefore, I would like help comparing my CV with a specific job posting and getting specific suggestions on how I can add relevant keywords and adapt the content so that it best matches the requirements — without compromising professionalism and readability.
Role:
You are an expert in CV optimisation with knowledge of how ATS systems read and evaluate content. You can analyse a CV against a job posting and provide recommendations that increase the chances of the CV being approved and passed on in the system.
Instructions:
– Compare my attached CV with the <job posting>, I insert.
– Identify which keywords, skills, and requirements from the job posting are already covered, and which are missing.
– Suggest how the missing elements can be naturally incorporated into the CV.
– Ensure the language remains clear, professional, and readable for both ATS and humans.
– Avoid overloading the text with keywords so that it loses its natural flow.
<job posting>
[insert job posting]
</job posting>
Output format:
– An overview of matching keywords and skills — and an overview of those that are missing.
– Suggestions for specific changes or additions to the CV.
– A revised draft of a CV section where the new keywords are incorporated.
Context:
I am considering applying for a specific position and have attached both my CV and the job posting. I would like a critical assessment of how well I match the position — and especially which arguments speak against me applying.
Role:
You are an experienced recruitment consultant and career advisor specialising in skills assessment and job matching. You have an eye for both what is written in the job posting and what lies between the lines. You are not afraid to ask the tough questions and point out potential mismatches — but you do so constructively, with suggestions on how I can strengthen my profile.
Instructions:
– Compare my attached CV with the requirements and preferences in the job posting.
– Identify the areas where I do not match — e.g. missing experience, skills, industry knowledge, education, or personality traits.
– Assess whether there is a cultural mismatch — e.g. if the company is looking for a profile very different from mine.
– Point out the risks of applying — e.g. that I may appear overqualified, underqualified, or not motivated enough.
– Suggest how I can close any gaps — e.g. with courses, networking, rewording, or alternative angles.
– Conclude with reflection questions that can help me make an informed decision.
<job posting>
[insert job posting]
</job posting>
Output format:
– Critical mismatch points – 3–5 specific areas where my profile does not match the job posting.
– Possible consequences – how these mismatches could affect my chances of being invited to an interview.
– Suggestions for improvement – what I can do to strengthen my profile or angle my application differently.
– Reflection questions – 3–5 questions to help me clarify whether I should apply or not.
Structure, spellcheck, and language
Even the sharpest text can stumble over commas and clumsy wording. Let AI be your extra set of eyes to help you refine flow, language, and spelling — so you can present yourself with confidence.
Context:
It is difficult to structure my application so that it highlights my key points while also ensuring that I include everything relevant. Therefore, I would like help creating a clear and logical structure that matches the job posting and makes a strong first impression.
Role:
You are an experienced career advisor and copywriter, specialised in structuring job applications so that they are targeted, easy to read, and persuasive.
Instructions:
– Use the inserted <job posting> as the basis for understanding the requirements of the position.
– Review my draft ideas, bullet points, or <text> that I insert.
– Suggest an order that ensures: (1) the most important points and strengths are highlighted first, (2) all relevant requirements in the job posting are covered, (3) the text has a natural, logical flow, and (4) propose ways to phrase transitions so that the application holds together smoothly.
– If anything is missing, suggest what I can add.
<job posting>
[insert job posting]
</job posting>
<text>
[insert text]
</text>
Output format:
– A prioritised list of paragraphs/points in the order they should appear.
– A short template for the application with suggested headings and sections.
– Any additional points or information that should be included to strengthen the application.
Context:
I need help with proofreading so that my job application materials, such as my application and CV, appear professional, well-written, and free from distracting errors. Review my texts for grammatical mistakes, spelling errors, and language improvements, so they come across as clear, correct, varied, and persuasive.
Role:
You are an expert in grammar, spelling, and linguistic variation with a sharp eye for detail, able to help me identify and correct errors as well as suggest improvements, so the text appears both flawless and stylistically engaging.
Instructions:
– Review the texts I attach.
– Highlight all errors in the text in BOLD.
– Add numbered footnotes in the text for each error.
– In the footnote, specify what type of error it is (e.g. spelling mistake, comma error, incorrect conjugation, unclear wording).
– At the end, summarise all errors and provide a specific suggestion for how each one can be corrected.
– Also suggest more varied phrasings that can make the text more cohesive and engaging to read.
Output format:
– Text with errors highlighted in BOLD and numbered footnotes placed directly after the error.
– A complete overview at the bottom listing: error type, original text, correction suggestion, and any alternative phrasings for each footnote.
Context:
The wording in my CV text and application may come across as too general and does not clearly showcase my results or the skills that employers are looking for. I would like help rephrasing them so that they appear more results-oriented, include relevant competency keywords from the job posting, and — where appropriate — quantify my achievements.
Role:
You are an experienced career advisor and copywriter, specialised in rewriting both CV texts and applications so that they stand out, highlight results, and include keywords that match the requirements of a given job posting.
Instructions:
– Use the texts I attach as the starting point.
– Rephrase them so that they: (1) are results-oriented and specific, (2) include relevant competency keywords from the job posting (or typical keywords in the industry), (3) where possible, include numbers, percentages, or specific examples of achievements, and (4) fit the context (CV bullet point or application paragraph).
– Ensure the language is professional yet engaging.
– Keep the wording short and precise if it is for my CV, and more cohesive if it is for my application.
Output format:
– The rephrased version of the text for my CV.
– The rephrased version of the text for my application.
– A short list of the competency keywords you have added.
– Any suggestions for alternative phrasings that I can choose from.
