Assignment 8: Write Your 30-Day Plan and Prompt Library

Requirements

An AI chat tool such as Claude or ChatGPT (a free plan is enough)
Your current CV, or a list of your jobs, projects and studies
One real job ad you would like to apply for
No technical or coding background needed

Description

Applying for jobs is slow, stressful and easy to get wrong. AI can make it faster and sharper, but only if you use it well. Used badly, it gives you generic CVs, copied cover letters and made-up claims that fall apart in an interview.

This course shows you how to use an AI assistant (such as Claude or ChatGPT) as a coach and drafting partner for your whole job search, while you stay the author and the fact-checker. You finish with real documents, not just ideas.

What you will walk away with

A truthful master CV and a tailored version for a real job ad
A cover letter, LinkedIn profile and outreach messages that sound like you
A bank of interview stories built with the STAR method
Practice with an AI mock interviewer, including tough questions
A salary research and negotiation plan, with a role play to rehearse it
A 30-day action plan you can start this week

How the course works

26 short video lectures in 8 sections, from reading a job ad like a recruiter to negotiating the offer
Copy-and-paste prompts you can reuse for every application
8 hands-on assignments, 4 quizzes and 3 AI role plays (interview and salary talks)
Tool-neutral teaching, so it does not go out of date when an app changes its buttons

Honest by design. You will learn what never to invent, what never to paste into a chat (like ID numbers or your full address), and how to check every AI answer before it goes out.

No technical background is needed. Bring your current CV and one job ad you would like to apply for, and start with the free preview lectures.

Who this course is for:

Fresh graduates applying for their first job
Professionals changing careers or returning to work
Anyone who wants to apply faster with AI without sounding generic or fake
Job seekers who want to prepare better for interviews and salary talks
