Who it is for

Job applicants with a real role and experience notes to work from.

Why this order

Map the evidence before writing claims. Use that same evidence in the letter and STAR answer, then practise the questions and gaps it reveals.

Step by step

  1. 1
    Job Hunt 10–15 minutesReviewed AI-assisted guide

    Match job requirements to your real CV evidence

    Map a supplied job advertisement to actual CV evidence, then draft a few supported bullet revisions and leave genuine gaps visible.

    Why here: Find supported claims and genuine gaps before tailoring the application.

    Suggested starting tool: Any compatible AI assistant

    Use a text assistant with the job advert and your CV. Remove personal details you do not need to share.

    The prompt does not require one named assistant. Use the exact passing API model when available; an app may behave differently.

    Open this step

    Carry forward: Use only the supported experience in your cover letter.

  2. 2
    Job Hunt 10–15 minutesReviewed AI-assisted guide

    Draft a cover letter from evidence you supply

    Create a concise cover-letter draft from supplied job details and genuine applicant examples, leaving unsupported qualifications unclaimed.

    Why here: Turn the supported fit into a concise letter for this role.

    Suggested starting tool: Any compatible AI assistant

    Keep the same evidence in view; a fluent letter is not proof of a qualification.

    The prompt does not require one named assistant. Use the exact passing API model when available; an app may behave differently.

    Open this step

    Carry forward: Choose a real example behind one of the letter's strongest claims.

  3. 3
    Job Hunt 10–15 minutesReviewed AI-assisted guide

    Shape a true work example into a STAR answer

    Organize your own experience into situation, task, action and result without adding achievements or outcomes you did not supply.

    Why here: Explain your own actions and recorded outcome in a form you can say aloud.

    Suggested starting tool: Any compatible AI assistant

    Use a text assistant to structure your account, then read it aloud and check attribution.

    The prompt does not require one named assistant. Use the exact passing API model when available; an app may behave differently.

    Open this step

    Carry forward: Take the checked example and any unanswered gaps into interview preparation.

  4. 4
    Job Hunt 10–15 minutesReviewed AI-assisted guide

    Prepare interview questions from a role and your notes

    Build a small role-specific practice sheet with plausible questions, truthful evidence pointers and gaps to prepare.

    Why here: Practise role-specific questions using the examples you have just checked.

    Suggested starting tool: Any compatible AI assistant

    Use the practice sheet as preparation, not a prediction of what the interviewer will ask.

    The prompt does not require one named assistant. Use the exact passing API model when available; an app may behave differently.

    Open this step

Done: An evidence map, a cover-letter draft, a STAR example and an interview practice sheet.

Explore the evidence

Compare recorded tests and different model interpretations before choosing what to rely on.
