Follow a company

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.

I want to follow Acme Manufacturing so I see hiring posts and product announcements. Make sure I follow the official company page and its regional subsidiary in Europe, and confirm the action showed on my feed by Friday morning.

Before I follow Acme Manufacturing, surface why this helps: list recent job posts, executive hires, and product launches from the last 90 days so I can decide if following is worth my time. Flag any duplicate or inactive pages that could clutter my feed.

I clicked follow but the page looks inactive.
I just followed Acme Manufacturing hoping to track hiring, but their page has no posts in six months and the Europe subsidiary is active. I worry following the parent will flood my feed with junk or miss local hires. What’s the likely situation and the best next move to keep signals relevant?

I follow many companies but my feed becomes noisy.
I keep following companies to catch jobs and product news, but my feed gets noisy and I miss key posts. Where am I losing time or signal, and what habit should I change to track only the companies that matter?

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.
