Research a job offer from the pages you saved

About this exercise

You got a $64,000 offer for a Marketing Coordinator job at Fernway Foods and saved 4 pages about the company. Write exactly 4 numbered lines labeled Pay:, Stability:, Red flag: and Ask the recruiter:, using the newest page when pages disagree. Ask the recruiter: must be one specific question tied to something in the pages. Plain text, under 130 words.

Common mistakes when you ask AI for this

• Asking "is this a good offer?". The AI gives general job-hunting advice instead of using your pages. Try: Say: "Use only the 4 pages I saved."
• Not saying which page wins. The AI quotes the 2024 "growing fast" story as if it's still true. Try: Add: "When pages disagree, use the newest one."
• A vague question. The AI suggests "ask about company culture", which tells you nothing. Try: Add: "One specific question tied to something in the pages."
• No fixed shape. The AI writes a long pros-and-cons list. Try: Say: "Exactly 4 lines: Pay:, Stability:, Red flag:, Ask the recruiter:."
• Getting markdown back. AI bolds the labels and adds a heading. Try: Ask for "plain text, no bold."

What a strong prompt includes

• Keeps to your pages
• Says the newest page wins
• Names the 4 labels
• Asks for a specific question
• Asks for plain text
