This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

The same task, four prompts

today's deadline · the next reviewer · the stuck moment · the pattern

Get all the job titles and company names from Priya Sharma's connections, so I can cross-reference them with our target list before Friday.

I need to review all the skills listed by candidates who worked at Acme Corp between 2018 and 2022. Organize them by frequency so I can see the most common ones and highlight any unusual ones that might be a good fit.

I just saw a former colleague, David Chen, endorse a competitor's product on his feed.
David Chen, who I thought was a strong advocate for us, just publicly endorsed a competitor. We're pitching his current company next month, and I'm afraid this might signal a shift in his loyalty or even that he's been influenced by the competition. I can't directly ask him about it without looking insecure. What's the likely diagnosis of his public endorsement, and what's the best next move to understand this without tipping our hand?

I keep spending hours manually tracking competitor activity and industry trends.
I'm losing too much time each week manually sifting through competitor updates and industry news to spot emerging trends. I feel like I'm always behind, reacting instead of anticipating. What habit should I change to more efficiently identify shifts in the market and competitor strategies without getting lost in the noise?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from LinkedIn's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
