How to write a CV, cover letter and interview answers with ChatGPT

Transforms your real work history and a live job ad into a tailored, ATS-ready NZ/AU CV, a precise cover letter, and interview-ready STAR answers—without inventing facts. The system guides you from blank page to a polished, reusable application pack you can maintain for future roles.

Step 1, free.

Copy this, paste it into your AI, and swap the [BRACKETS] for your own details.

Setup: Define target role & constraints

Provide: [JOB AD TEXT], [ROLE TITLE YOU’RE TARGETING], [LOCATION (NZ OR AU CITY/STATE)], [WORK RIGHTS (E.G., NZ CITIZEN, AU PR, VISA TYPE)], [WORK TYPE (PERMANENT/FIXED-TERM/CONTRACT)], [SALARY EXPECTATION OR RANGE], [NOT-NEGOTIABLES], [CONSTRAINTS (E.G., TRAVEL, HOURS, REMOTE/HYBRID)], [TIMING (NOTICE PERIOD/START DATE)], [LINK TO AD], [NOTES].
Act as a job targeting analyst and constraints setter, turning a live ad into a precise role profile we’ll use throughout.
Work through it like this:
1) Parse [JOB AD TEXT] to extract employer context, core duties, must-haves, nice-to-haves, and verbatim keywords/phrases.
2) Translate ad language into plain English deliverables and success measures for the first 90–180 days.
3) Record eligibility: location, work rights, salary, work type, timing, and any constraints/not-negotiables.
4) Identify potential red flags or ambiguities to confirm with the recruiter, and list 3–5 clarification questions.
5) Build a submission checklist tailored to the ad (documents, formats, naming, deadlines, portal steps).
Give me the output as:
- Job Profile (sections): Target Role Summary; Employer/Team Context; Core Duties (bulleted); Must-haves; Nice-to-haves; Critical Keywords (verbatim, comma-separated); Success in 90–180 Days; Constraints & Eligibility; Red Flags; Clarification Questions; Submission Checklist.
Quality bar: The Job Profile must read like a recruiter brief—no guesswork, only text traceable to the ad or your provided fields.
If any field is missing or unclear, mark MISSING and ask up to five precise questions to resolve before we proceed.

How to get a good answer.

01Fill every [BRACKET] with real detail. Vague in, vague out.
02Read the answer, then reply with what's wrong or missing. The AI fixes it in seconds.
03Check facts, prices and anything legal or safety-related yourself before you use it.

The rest of the workflow.
