The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me write a supporting statement for a job application.

The person specification: [paste it, including essential and desirable criteria]
The job: [title and employer]
My experience: [jobs, examples, training, volunteering]
Word limit: [if there is one]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. If a criterion still has no example, ask for one criterion at a time.

Then:
1. A statement that goes through the criteria in the same order as the person spec, essential ones first, with a short heading or opening phrase for each.
2. For each one, a specific example: the situation, what I did, the result.
3. A checklist showing every criterion and where I've covered it, with any gaps flagged.
4. Keep within my word limit and tell me the final count.

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.
