Find My Transferable Skills

I'm applying for jobs in [TARGET FIELD/ROLE] but my background is in [YOUR BACKGROUND].

Help me identify my transferable skills:

MY EXPERIENCE:
[Describe your work history, even informal or volunteer work]

MY EDUCATION:
[Describe any training, certifications, or self-learning]

THE JOB REQUIRES:
[Paste key requirements from job posting OR describe the role]

Please help me:
1. Identify skills from my experience that transfer to this role
2. Reframe my experience using language from the new field
3. Find hidden skills I might not realize I have
4. Identify any real gaps I need to address
5. Suggest how to present my unusual background as a strength

Career changers often have MORE valuable skills because they bring diverse perspectives. This prompt helps you see and communicate that value.

Watch Out For:

Don't oversell - genuine transferable skills only
Some gaps are real and need addressing
The way you frame experience matters enormously

Write My Value Proposition

Help me write a clear, compelling value proposition for my job search.

WHO I AM:
- Current/most recent role: [TITLE]
- Years of experience: [NUMBER]
- Industry background: [INDUSTRIES]
- Key accomplishments: [2-3 ACHIEVEMENTS WITH NUMBERS IF POSSIBLE]

WHO I WANT TO WORK FOR:
- Target role: [JOB TITLE]
- Target industry: [INDUSTRY]
- Type of company: [STARTUP/CORPORATE/NONPROFIT/etc.]

MY UNIQUE ANGLE:

Please create:
1. A one-sentence positioning statement
2. A 30-second "elevator pitch"
3. A three-sentence career story
4. Key talking points for interviews
5. LinkedIn headline and summary suggestions

Most people describe what they DO instead of the VALUE they create. This prompt helps you articulate why someone should hire YOU specifically.

Identify My Skill Gaps

I want to apply for [JOB TITLE] positions. Please help me honestly assess my gaps.

THE JOB TYPICALLY REQUIRES:
[PASTE REQUIREMENTS OR DESCRIBE THE ROLE]

MY CURRENT SKILLS:
[HONESTLY LIST WHAT YOU CAN DO]

MY EXPERIENCE:
[DESCRIBE YOUR RELEVANT BACKGROUND]

Please help me understand:
1. Which requirements am I definitely qualified for?
2. Which requirements am I partially qualified for?
3. Which requirements are genuine gaps?
4. For each gap: How critical is it? How hard to learn?
5. Which gaps can I learn quickly vs. need significant time?
6. How should I prioritize filling these gaps?
7. Can I apply now, or should I skill up first?

Be honest - I'd rather know the truth than waste time.

Honest gap assessment prevents you from applying to jobs you can't get while also preventing you from underselling yourself on jobs you CAN get.
