Show, don’t just tell: examples and material

AI follows examples very well. If you want a particular style, show one.

Give an example of the output

"Write three LinkedIn headlines in this style: Commerce graduate | Financial analysis | Excel and Power BI."

Give your own material

Paste your notes, a paragraph you wrote, or a job description, and ask the AI to work only from that material. This reduces made-up content.

Say what to avoid

"Do not use buzzwords such as passionate or dynamic." Clear exclusions remove a lot of generic text.

Tip: remove personal or confidential details before pasting any material.
