Claude Prompts for Executive Assistant Job Search

You are an expert recruiter for executive assistant roles. Here is my resume:

[PASTE RESUME]

And the job description:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Rewrite my bullet points to match this role. Lead each with the level and scope of support (which executives I supported, complex calendars managed across time zones, international travel coordinated, board or offsite logistics, budgets or vendors owned, confidential projects) and mirror the exact terms from the job description (for example C-suite support, gatekeeping, complex calendar management, board meetings, Concur, Notion) without inventing anything. Flag any claim that looks like a stretch.

Help me frame the seniority and complexity of my executive support for my resume. Here is what I did: [DESCRIBE WHO I SUPPORTED AND THE SCOPE]. Ask me up to 4 short questions to surface what makes it impressive (title and reports of the executive, size of the calendar, international vs domestic travel, board or investor exposure, confidential matters handled, decisions I was trusted to make). Then write 2 resume bullets in the format 'accomplished X by doing Y, resulting in Z'.

Act as an ATS parser for executive assistant roles. From this job description:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

List the skills, systems, and exact keyword phrases (for example C-suite support, complex calendar management, domestic and international travel, expense management, Concur, board meetings, gatekeeping, confidentiality, project coordination, Microsoft Office, Google Workspace) an ATS would score against, ranked by prominence. Then tell me which are missing from my resume:

[PASTE RESUME]

and where I could add each one truthfully.

Write a concise cover letter for this executive assistant role:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Using my background:

[PASTE RESUME OR SUMMARY]

Under 250 words, no cliches. Open with a concrete reason I fit this specific executive and their needs (their seniority, the pace, the complexity of their calendar and travel), cite one example of me anticipating a need or handling something sensitive well, and close with a clear call to action. Match the company's tone, and signal discretion throughout.

Write a 4 to 5 sentence message to the chief of staff or hiring manager for this executive assistant role: [PASTE ROLE AND COMPANY]. Introduce me briefly, give one specific reason I am drawn to supporting this executive or team, and mention one relevant strength ([DETAIL, for example managing a global calendar and complex travel for a CEO]). Polished, warm, discreet, under 90 words.

Play a demanding executive and give me a complex-travel scenario to solve out loud for an executive assistant interview: for example, a multi-leg international trip with a board meeting, a visa constraint, a tight connection, and a last-minute change midway through. Ask me how I would build it and how I would handle the change, probing on buffers, contingencies, and how I keep you informed without over-communicating. Then tell me what a top EA would have anticipated that I missed. Start now.

Give me a realistic gatekeeping and prioritization scenario for an executive assistant interview: your executive is double-booked for a board meeting and a key client, an urgent personal matter comes up, and three people all insist they need 15 minutes today. Play the interviewer, ask how I would triage and what I would decide on the executive's behalf versus check first, then probe my judgment on discretion and escalation. Tell me where I showed good judgment and where I overstepped or under-stepped. Give me the scenario now.

I have an executive assistant interview at [COMPANY]. Based on this job description, list the 10 most likely questions, including the trust and judgment ones ('tell me about a time you handled highly confidential information', 'when did you make a decision on your executive's behalf', 'how do you manage a difficult or last-minute executive', 'a time you protected your executive's time'). For each, give a one-line strategy and note which of my own examples to prepare. Job description: [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Compare my resume against job descriptions for [TARGET ROLE, for example EA to the CEO or Chief of Staff]. My resume: [PASTE RESUME]. Target job descriptions: [PASTE 2 to 3]. Identify the specific gaps (seniority of executive supported, board or investor exposure, budget and vendor ownership, project or team leadership, international scope), ranked by how much they matter, and for each suggest the fastest credible way to close or reframe it.
