Using the STAR Method

<aside> <img src="/icons/star-outline_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/star-outline_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> S - Situation

T - Task

A - Action

R - Result

</aside>

⚠️ Attention: For cover letters, you can use the STAR method in full. That is, talking about the situation, task, action, and the result. However, for your resume, you will only focus on Action (what you did and the tools you used) and Results (your achievement).

ChatGPT Prompts

These are a series of prompts you’d use (in the same chat in ChatGPT) to get your desired bullet point for a soft skill (or any skill) you demonstrated at work.

Prompt 1

*Visit ChatGPT and start the chat with the first prompt below:*

<aside> <img src="/icons/chat_pink.svg" alt="/icons/chat_pink.svg" width="40px" /> Assume you're applying for a {NAME OF ROLE} role and you have experience using {NAME OF SOFT SKILL} skill to {WHAT YOU USED THE SKILL FOR}. State how you will demonstrate/show the soft skill on your resume using the STAR method

</aside>

Prompt 2

The chances of ChatGPT giving you bullets for S, T, A, and R are very high. So when it does, use this prompt:

<aside> <img src="/icons/chat_pink.svg" alt="/icons/chat_pink.svg" width="40px" /> Synthesise the bullet points for Action and Result from the STAR method into one comprehensive achievement sentence

</aside>

Additional Prompts

You may not get your desired bullet point showing your soft skills after the first 2 prompts, so you would have to give ChatGPT additional prompts.

Here are two typical examples:
