STEVE’S RECRUITMENT ADVICE - BEGINNER STARTER KIT
Version 4 - 24 September 2026

You have built a career. Job searching has changed. This kit is for experienced professionals, especially if you have not looked for a job in years.

No AI experience needed. Download the kit, open START-HERE.txt (this file), then follow Career-Master-File-guide.pdf, the Beginner Guide.
It explains which service to open, what to select, how to paste the instructions, how to speak instead of type, and how to check and save the result.

Beginner-guide.txt contains the same walkthrough as plain text.
AI-interview-prompt.txt contains the instructions to copy into your AI chat.
Career-Master-File-template.docx is where you save your checked experience and achievements. Open it in Google Docs (free with a personal Google account) or Word if you already use it. You do not need to buy Word. The guide shows how to upload, open, rename and save it. You only need one version of the guide. The ZIP contains all five files, including this Start Here file.

You can use your preferred AI tool. In this guide, we are using ChatGPT. If you are new to AI, follow the ChatGPT instructions. Other tools may look slightly different. Open https://chatgpt.com. Choose a normal Chat and leave the default model selected. This is our simple starting recommendation for this exercise. Live voice availability varies; typing and available dictation are alternatives.

A ZIP is a packed folder. Open it and extract/unzip if asked. If that is difficult on your phone, use the individual file links on the download page.

Start with one role or project. Answer one question at a time. Check the summary and save your own document.
