On Hacker News, one worker said his company's weekly update format is a pain, so he keeps notes through the week and sends them to a custom GPT that writes the update in the required template. He spends about ten minutes tidying it, saving a couple of hours.
Turn these rough notes from my week into a weekly update using exactly this template: [PASTE TEMPLATE]. Notes: [PASTE NOTES]. Keep it factual, don't add anything that isn't in my notes, and flag any section where I haven't given you enough information.
One user had ChatGPT write an Excel formula for a billing file he fills in every month, saving him two to three hours of manual work each time.
In Excel, I have [DESCRIBE COLUMNS, E.G. COLUMN A: DATE, B: CLIENT, C: HOURS]. I want [WHAT YOU WANT, E.G. TOTAL HOURS PER CLIENT FOR LAST MONTH IN COLUMN F]. Write the formula, explain each part in plain English, and tell me how to copy it down safely.
A consultant's main CV advice to one jobseeker was to paste the job listing and CV into ChatGPT and ask it to reword the CV to get past automated filters. The jobseeker found that advice demoralising, so treat it as a tool, not a substitute for your own judgement.
Here's a job advert: [PASTE]. Here's my CV: [PASTE]. Show me which requirements in the advert my CV already covers, which are missing or buried, and suggest honest rewording of my existing experience to match the advert's language. Don't invent skills or experience I haven't listed.
