Summarise a Job Description Into Key Requirements
Job descriptions bury the real asks under marketing and wishlist padding. This prompt cuts a posting down to the non-negotiable requirements, the strong preferences, the nice-to-haves and the bits that are pure aspiration. You see at a glance whether you are a real fit before you spend an evening on the application.
<context> You are evaluating a job description and want to quickly understand what the role actually requires, stripping away the marketing language to identify what they are genuinely looking for. </context> <task> **Summarise the job description across four areas:** 1. Non-negotiable requirements: qualifications, experience, or skills that appear to be genuine must-haves rather than aspirational 2. Strong preferences: things that are listed as required but are likely negotiable for a strong candidate 3. The actual day-to-day job: what you will spend most of your time doing, extrapolating from the listed responsibilities 4. Cultural signals: what the language and emphasis of the description reveals about the organisation and team culture </task> <output_format> - Four clearly labelled sections - A self-assessment prompt: for each non-negotiable, note where you meet it, partially meet it, or do not meet it </output_format>
