What to do
- Copy the client's job posting. Identify the #1 problem they need solved immediately.
- Paste the prompt below with the job post and 2 relevant samples of your actual work experience.
- Personalize the first line and check that your proposal sounds honest, direct and humble—not like generic robotic AI copy.
Try this prompt
Paste the job post and only experience, results, links, and availability you can support.
Write a concise proposal for this opportunity using only my actual experience. Separate what I have done from the approach I am proposing.
Job post: [paste]
My relevant work and tools: [facts]
Results I can substantiate: [facts or none]
Portfolio links I may share: [links or none]
Availability and commitments I can honor: [facts]
Do not invent clients, ticket volumes, conversion gains, years of experience, certifications, or testimonials. If my background is incomplete, ask for the missing detail or write a transparent proposed approach without pretending it is past work.
Produce a short opening addressing the task, relevant evidence from my inputs, a practical first step, and a low-pressure closing. Answer screening questions honestly. Do not promise delivery dates, pricing, or results I did not provide.
Finish with a claim checklist so I can verify every sentence before submitting. Do not submit the proposal or contact the client.See a sample result
Illustrative example. Your answer may differ.
Input: The client needs a VA to organize support emails. I have used Gmail labels but have not used Zendesk. Output: States the Gmail experience truthfully, proposes a first-step triage approach, and does not claim prior Zendesk work or invented ticket volume.
Before you use it: Never claim skills or tools you do not actually know. Clients will test you in the live interview.
Philippine notes
- Clients value specific past metrics (e.g. "reduced email response time to 2 hours") over generic claims like "hardworking and passionate".
