Message a recruiter or hiring manager so they actually reply
You've found the perfect job and the hiring manager is on LinkedIn. Get a short message that's specific, not desperate, with a reason to reply.
The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me message a recruiter or hiring manager. The job: [title, company, link] Who I'm messaging: [name, role] Have I applied: [yes, no, about to] My strongest match: [one or two things] Where I'll send it: [LinkedIn connection note, LinkedIn message, email] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A connection note under 300 characters. 2. A longer message under 100 words with one specific reason I fit and one small ask. 3. A follow-up for a week later. 4. What not to say (no "please give me a chance", no CV pasted in). Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
