Why most AI prompts fail

Most people type:

"Write me a resume."

and get something generic they'd never use. The model isn't the problem. A vague prompt gets a vague answer, even from GPT-5, Claude or Gemini 3.

Every prompt here uses five parts, plus a 2027 footer:

Copy this, replace the [brackets], and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini:

ROLE: You are a career coach who has helped 2,000+ people land roles at top companies. You write resume bullet points that recruiters read in 6 seconds and remember.

CONTEXT:
- My role: [your job title]
- What I actually did: [paste 3–5 rough notes about your work]
- Job I'm applying for: [target job title, or paste the job description]

TASK:
1. Rewrite my notes as 5 achievement-focused bullet points
2. Lead every bullet with a strong verb and end it with a result
3. Add a realistic number to each bullet, or a [placeholder] I must fill in. Never invent numbers
4. Match the keywords in the job description

CONSTRAINTS:
- Under 25 words per bullet
- No "responsible for", "helped with" or "various"

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- 5 bullets, best first
- Below them: the 3 job-description keywords I'm still missing

> Before you start: If my notes are too vague, ask me one question first. When done, tell me the one bullet a recruiter would ask about in the interview.

2027 tips

• Turn on web search (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity) for anything with prices, salaries, laws or trends. Every prompt asks the AI to check the latest data and cite sources when it can.
• Attach files instead of pasting. Resumes, job descriptions, screenshots and spreadsheets work better as uploads.
• Use the reasoning modes (ChatGPT Thinking, Claude extended thinking, Gemini Deep Think) for negotiation, strategy and code. Use fast modes for quick rewrites.
• Keep the conversation going. Every prompt ends by suggesting your next step. Follow it in the same chat.
