For new grads
Your first real job application is the hardest one. Internships and class projects on the resume, applying to roles where you compete with thousands. Here's the free path through it.
What's hard about your situation
The "ChatGPT, rewrite my resume" approach fails harder for new grads than for anyone else. The model has been trained on millions of resumes from people with 5+ years of experience, so when it has nothing to work with, it invents — adds metrics you don't have, inflates a class project into a "led a cross-functional team," makes your barista job sound like middle management. None of that survives the first follow-up question in an interview.
Three things make new-grad job-hunting structurally different:
- No professional experience to draw on. Internships, class projects, and student-org work are real and they matter — but they have to be framed correctly. "Worked on a marketing project" gets cut. "Designed the email campaign for a 200-person student nonprofit that increased signups 31%" doesn't.
- You're applying to roles with thousands of other applicants. ATS filters are aggressive at the entry level. Your resume needs to clear the keyword filter before a human sees it, AND read as honest to that human when they do.
- You don't know what the day-to-day actually looks like. Most entry-level cover letters fail because they describe the role generically. Recruiters can tell when an applicant has never spoken to anyone in the job.
The five free prompts you'll use most
- Writing a Resume — feed it your internships, projects, and any quantifiable result you actually have. The prompt refuses to invent, so you get a clean resume that holds up when interviewers ask follow-ups.
- Writing a Cover Letter — the new-grad version of "why this job" usually fails because it sounds generic. This prompt forces you to name ONE specific reason you want this role at this company.
- Job Interview Prep — practices the questions you'll get on internships, class projects, and "tell me about yourself" without making you sound rehearsed.
- Networking Email — the cold email to alumni, recent grads at your target company, or anyone whose path you want. Specific, short, easy to reply to.
- Thank-You Email After Interview — the three-sentence email that doesn't get filed under "generic thank-you" within five seconds.

One specific story
A senior at CU last spring used the resume prompt for an internship → full-time conversion at a SaaS company in Denver. The first version of her resume claimed she'd "led marketing strategy" for her capstone — which she hadn't, and the recruiter pulled the thread on it in the first phone screen. The second version, written with the refuse-to-invent gate, said she'd "designed and run the email channel for a 200-person student nonprofit, growing signups from 480 to 630 in one semester." That version got the offer. The numbers were always real; the first version just inflated the framing.
