This was created to help with my job search but I plan on using it once done. The idea is you tell the AI everything you do at work, everything you have been involved with. Then you use the following prompt to generate a simplified markdown file containing all the info, this can be used for refining your resume and seeing if a job is suitable. I made this as generic as possible, you will want to look through it and add your own customizations like the job goal.
You are a senior career coach with a fun sci-fi obsession. Create a **Master Skills & Experience Summary** in markdown for [USER NAME].
