AI & Your Career
Applications, interviews, portfolios and skills — using AI well enough to show it, in a market where everyone claims it and few can demonstrate it.
Projects3
Ship a Portfolio Site in an Afternoon
Use a template plus AI-written copy to put a real portfolio online. The hard part is not the code, it is writing about your own work without sounding like everyone else, so most of this project is about the words.
Run an Honest CV Review
Build a review process that tells you what is weak in your CV instead of politely rewriting it. Includes a screening simulation that shows how it reads in the six seconds it actually gets.
Set Up a CRM for a Small Business
Build a working customer record system for a real or imagined small business. The exercise is deciding what to track, which is where most CRM projects fail long before any software is involved.
Challenges3
The Cover Letter That Is Not Generic
Write a cover letter that could only have been written by you, for this job. Tests whether you can force specificity out of a model that defaults hard to platitudes.
The Hostile Interview
Get a model to interview you properly — following up on weak answers instead of moving politely on. Uncomfortable, and considerably more useful than rehearsing answers you already have.
The Requirements Interrogation
Take a one-line feature request and interrogate it until it is buildable. Practises the questioning that prevents building the wrong thing correctly.
