Walter Reid’s Amazing STAR-based AI Prompt Using Claude.ai

Here’s a STAR-based AI prompt I ran on a fake product manager resume:
🔗 Claude.ai: Improving Jamie’s Resume

It didn’t just rewrite the bullets — it asked smart clarifying questions, identified hidden risks, and showed how to actually showcase impact. No buzzword soup. No “slop.”

I did most of the hard work for you. But more importantly — I want to show you how to do this for yourself.

Not for money.
Not as a service.

Im doing it because I believe learning how to use AI well is one of the most valuable things you can do right now — and most people are only scratching the surface.

So if you’re updating your resume, or curious how to write anything really with AI, DM me (or comment below)

Tell me what you’re working on. I’ll help (because i want to)

Worst case: you learn a new skill.
Best case: you land a better role, and I make a new connection.

Win-win.

How Habits are the BEST Indicator of YOUR Personality

🚗 Your driving habits reveal more about your work personality than your resume.

I just built a personality assessment that asks the REAL questions:
❌ “Are you patient at work?”
✅ “Do you tailgate when driving?”
❌ “Do you focus well?”
✅ “Do you check every notification immediately?”
❌ “Are you organized?”
✅ “Do you pack excessively for short trips?”

Turns out, the person who leaves 2-second gaps between cars is probably great at giving teammates space to finish their thoughts. 🤔

The one who double-checks everything before leaving the house? Probably your go-to for quality control.

And if you interrupt people mid-sentence… well, we need to talk about those meeting habits. 😅

Plot twist: I got “Thoughtful Analyst” but scored 0% on self-maintenance. Apparently skipping lunch to perfect a project is… on brand? 🤷‍♂️

The best part? This isn’t about labeling people – it’s about understanding the tiny behaviors that create big workplace dynamics.

Try it and tell me what you got! Link in comments 👇
(And yes, I definitely tailgate sometimes. Working on it.)

Make a Real Difference Today: Donate Blood to the Red Cross

Have you thought about donating blood this July to make a tangible difference in your community?

I have excelled as a product manager for multiple Fortune 500 companies over the past 15+ years, thriving in fast-paced and high-stakes environments. The role demands constant innovation and an unwavering focus on delivering exceptional products. However, I soon realized that to truly understand and help our users, I needed to invest in my well-being. Embracing a healthier lifestyle, I began incorporating regular exercise and a balanced diet into my routine. This not only improved my physical health but also sharpened my mind, allowing me to approach product challenges with renewed energy and creativity.

In my journey to better health, I also discovered another profound way to contribute to my community: donating blood. As an O-negative blood type, my donations were especially valuable, given their universal compatibility. Recognizing the critical need for such donations, I made my first appointment at a local RedCross blood drive 6 months ago, understanding that this simplest of acts could save countless lives.

Through this experience, I discovered a deeper purpose and fulfillment in helping others. It showed me that my impact extends beyond my professional role and into the community that has given me so much.
