4.3 Prompting ChatGPT for Content Enhancement

Even after you’ve drafted your portfolio’s core sections, there’s still a lot you can do to fine-tune the final product.

ChatGPT can assist in two key ways: generating bullet points and elaborating on accomplishments, and ensuring consistency in tone and structure throughout your documents.

Let us see how is it done.

1. Generating Bullet Points and Elaborating on Accomplishments

Bullet points make content easier to scan, especially when you’re highlighting key responsibilities or achievements. They’re also helpful for turning lengthy paragraphs into concise summaries that emphasize the most important points.

How to Use Prompts for Bullet Points

  • Direct Command: “Rewrite my paragraph on project management into three bullet points that highlight deadlines, team size, and budget.

  • Elaboration Prompt: “Expand each bullet point to include a brief explanation of the challenge and the outcome.

Tips for Showcasing Accomplishments

  • Use Action Verbs: Words like “Led,” “Implemented,” or “Achieved” immediately convey leadership and proactivity.

  • Quantify Results: Whenever possible, include numbers or percentages to show the real impact of your work.

2. Ensuring Consistency in Tone and Structure

A portfolio that shifts from casual language in one section to highly formal in another can feel disjointed. Similarly, sections that vary wildly in length or format can make your overall presentation look unpolished.

How to Use Prompts for Consistency

  • Check Tone: “Review my Experience and Projects sections and make the tone professional yet approachable. Keep sentence lengths uniform.

  • Standardize Structure: “Compare the structure of my About section and my Projects section. Suggest ways to make them more aligned, focusing on headings and bullet points.”

Maintaining a Unified Voice

  • Use the Same Person: Decide whether to write in the first person (“I accomplished…”) or third person (“He/she accomplished…”), and stick to it.

  • Create a Style Guide: Even if it’s informal, list out the words, phrases, or formatting you plan to use consistently, like bullet points or subheadings.
