About this tool
Build AI prompts for resumes, Indian-format CVs, cover letters, interview prep, LinkedIn headlines, salary negotiation, career switches, SOPs and recommendation letters.
Job-hunt prompts that use your real experience. Pick the task, add your background and target role, and copy a prompt that produces specific, honest writing. This page brings together 10 separate career prompt builder pages (AI resume, Career switch, Cover letter, Indian resume, Interview prep, LinkedIn headline, Portfolio writeup, Recommendation letter, Salary negotiation, Statement of purpose) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.
Open Career Prompt Builder on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
Choose your task at the top: AI resume, Career switch, Cover letter, Indian resume and 6 more. On a phone it is a drop-down list.
Fill in the career prompt builder for that task; each of the 10 options keeps its own rules, data and defaults.
Read the result, then switch task to compare. The page link keeps your task (?v=ai-resume), so you can bookmark or share it.
AI resume, Career switch, Cover letter and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching task takes a tap instead of a new search.
Every task keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.
The link remembers the task you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.
10: AI resume, Career switch, Cover letter, Indian resume, Interview prep, LinkedIn headline, Portfolio writeup, Recommendation letter, Salary negotiation, Statement of purpose. Pick one at the top of the tool; the page link updates (for example ?v=ai-resume) so you can bookmark or share that exact view.
A good prompt names four things: the role you are targeting, your seniority, the exact task (bullets, summary, or full restructure), and a format rule such as the XYZ formula with one strong action verb per bullet. Add your real metrics and a no-fabrication instruction, then paste your actual resume text below the prompt — the model cannot improve what it cannot see.
Compare your skills against the requirement list of several real job adverts: above roughly 80% overlap the move reads as a sideways step, 55–80% is a credible stretch with one bridging project, and below 30% usually needs retraining or an intermediate role. The percentage measures paper overlap only — evidence and referrals move the odds far more than the score does.
About 250 to 400 words — three to four paragraphs on a single page. If you are pasting the letter into an email body rather than attaching it, cut to roughly 200 words, because it will be read on a phone. This tool flags a target outside those bands before you generate anything.
One page under roughly five years of experience, two from five to fifteen, and three only for a long or deeply technical career. The tool caps the plan at three pages, because past that recruiters stop reading rather than scroll further.
Typically three to four. Allowing five minutes for introductions and five for your questions leaves 35 minutes, and a behavioural question with follow-ups runs about 8 minutes at mid level or 10 at senior — so three to four stories, not ten.
220 characters. LinkedIn raised the member headline limit from 120 to 220 characters in 2020, and the field simply will not save text beyond that. The About section is separate and allows up to 2,600 characters.
At minimum: the problem, your specific role, what you actually did, and one measurable outcome with a before and after value. Recruiters skim, so the outcome sentence belongs at the top — this tool's prompt forces the opening line to state the number before any background.
One page for an employment reference, one to two pages for academic admissions. In words that is roughly 300 to 500 for a job reference and 500 to 800 for a graduate application; at 12pt single-spaced with one-inch margins a page holds about 500 words. This tool enforces the range for the letter type you pick.
A compa-ratio of 1.00 means you are asking for exactly the midpoint of the band, which is the number most employers treat as fully competent and fully proven. Asking between 0.95 and 1.10 is usually defensible with evidence; above roughly 1.20 most banding policies require a written justification or a level change.
It depends on the form, which is why this tool asks for the actual limit. The Common Application personal essay is capped at 650 words and the form will not accept more. UCAS personal statements are limited to 4,000 characters including spaces. Taught master's programmes commonly ask for 500 to 1,000 words and PhD statements for 800 to 1,500 — but those are conventions, not rules, so confirm the figure on the programme page.
