Claude Prompts for Graphic Designer Job Search

You are an expert recruiter for graphic designer 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 impact where I have it (brand redesign adopted, conversion or engagement lift on a design, assets shipped, turnaround time, projects delivered) and quantify it. Mirror the exact tools and terms from the job description (for example Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, brand identity, design systems, typography, motion, print production) without inventing anything. Flag any stretch.

Act as an ATS parser for graphic designer roles. From this job description:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

List the tools, skills, methods, and exact keyword phrases (for example Figma, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, brand identity, design systems, typography, layout, prototyping) 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.

Help me write a case study for my design portfolio. The project: [DESCRIBE, including the client or brand, the brief, and the outcome]. Ask me up to 5 questions to surface the story (the problem, constraints, my process, key decisions and why, and the result). Then write a tight case study with sections for Challenge, Approach, and Outcome, in a clear designer's voice, leading with the problem rather than the visuals.

Write a concise cover letter for this graphic designer role:

[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Using my background:

[PASTE RESUME OR SUMMARY]

Under 250 words, no cliches ('creative problem solver', 'eye for detail'). Open with a specific observation about their brand or product design, cite one project that shows the exact skill they need and its outcome, and close with a call to action pointing to my portfolio. Keep the voice confident but not precious.

Write a 4 to 5 sentence message to the design lead or recruiter for this graphic designer role: [PASTE ROLE AND COMPANY]. Introduce me briefly, reference one specific thing about their visual brand or product that I genuinely admire, and mention one relevant project of mine ([DETAIL]). Warm, human, under 90 words, with a portfolio link placeholder.

Act as a design director reviewing my portfolio for a graphic designer role. I will describe 2 to 3 projects: [PASTE PROJECT SUMMARIES OR DESCRIBE THE VISUALS AND BRIEFS]. Critique each the way a real director would: ask why I made specific type, color, and layout choices, whether it solved the brief, and what I would change now. Push where my rationale is thin, then tell me how a strong candidate would defend the work. Start with the first project.

Give me a realistic design-brief exercise for a graphic designer role at a [INDUSTRY] company: a client, an audience, a deliverable (for example a brand refresh, a campaign key visual, or a landing hero), constraints, and a tone. I will talk through my concept and approach. Then act as the interviewer: probe my rationale, my process, and how I would handle feedback and revisions. Give me the brief now and wait.

I have a graphic designer interview at [COMPANY] for a [ROLE] role. Based on the job description below and their actual visual brand, list the 10 most likely interview questions (craft, process, tools, collaboration, and behavioral), and for each give me a one-line strategy for answering it well. Job description: [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]

Compare my resume and portfolio against job descriptions for [TARGET ROLE, for example Senior Graphic Designer or Brand Designer]. My resume: [PASTE RESUME]. Target job descriptions: [PASTE 2 to 3]. Identify the specific tool, discipline (for example motion, design systems, print), and seniority gaps between me and these roles, ranked by how much they matter, and for each suggest the fastest credible way to close or reframe it (including a portfolio piece to create).
