About this exercise

Fill this template from the notes in plain text with labels in order: Title:, Department:, Level:, Summary:, Requirements:, How to apply:, Close date:. Under 150 words. Requirements: has at most 4 short lines starting with "- ". Use only requirements the notes call required and leave out the nice-to-haves. Do not name a preferred candidate. Same posting for everyone. HR reviews before posting.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

  • Listing nice-to-haves. The AI lists MBA and SAP as requirements. Try: Say: "Requirements only; leave out nice-to-haves."
  • Naming Mira or age wording. The AI echoes Lars's remarks. Try: Say: "Do not name a preferred candidate or use age wording."
  • Template. The AI invents sections. Try: Say: "Use exactly these labels in order."
  • Trusting the AI to count words. AI is bad at counting. Ask for a total word limit and it often lands over it. Try: Cap each part instead, for example: "each line under 15 words."
  • Markdown. The AI bolds words or adds headings. Try: Say: "Plain text, no bold, no headings."
