### Quick Intro

I found a huge collection of real prompts people actually use daily. They’re not theory—they just _work_, over and over.

### Main Points

- **Job Alignment & Resume Prompt**  
Analyze job post → rate my fit → rewrite my resume using keywords → output exactly one-page PDF.

- **Explain Like I’m 12 / 5 / Dumb 15-Year-Old**  
Great for breaking down tech, SEO, data science, etc., into usable, example-filled insight.

- **Prompt Optimizers (TCRE / CRAFT / Iterative Builders)**  
Ask questions to refine your needs, improve clarity, and apply structured frameworks like:

- **Meta-Prompting**  
Ask ChatGPT to write the perfect prompt for your goal before continuing.

- **Email Polishing Prompts**  
Popular ones:

- **Creative Roleplay**

- **Learning Tools**

- **Writing Assistance**

- **Personal Insights & Emotional Processing**

- **Visuals & Style Help**

- **Decision-Making Frameworks**

- **Critical Thinking Mode (CLEAR Framework)**  
C = Conclusion  
L = Labels  
E = Evidence  
A = Assessment  
R = Review

### Extra Tips

- “Zap!” = AI decides what’s best, ignores your bias.
- Say “assume the role of…” to boost precision.
- Threats like “If you mess this up…” actually adjust tone.
- Custom instructions (firm, objective, efficient tone) help A LOT.

### Warnings

- Asking for “best prompt” vaguely returns fluff.
- Em dashes are a known persistent issue—avoid them by command.
- Some prompts work only when ChatGPT memory is active (else you must re-feed data).

### Mixed or Disputed Info

- “Em dash removal” – _mixed_ (only works with strict commands like “until none left”).
- “ChatGPT remembers your CV” – _false_ (requires active memory setting).
- “Sam Altman complained about thank-yous” – _false_ (he defended it; media twisted it).
