By incorporating POWER WORDS in your prompts, you can augment ChatGPT's ability to construct an exceptional narrative that presents you as a motivated and unforgettable candidate. Embrace the exceptional potential of #ChatGPT in your #jobsearch to leave an unforgettable mark on prospective employers. The secret to wielding this tool effectively lies in crafting strategic, directive prompts.

Jon Morrow writes in SmartBlogger , "Power words are like a “cheat code” for boosting conversion rates. Sprinkle in a few and you can transform dull, lifeless words into persuasive words that compel readers to take action." Jon writes that there are seven categories of Power Words:

1. Fear?Power Words
2. Encouragement?Power Words
3. Lust?Power Words
4. Anger?Power Words
5. Greed?Power Words
6. Safety?Power Words
7. Forbidden?Power Words

For purposes of the job search, I elected to crank up emotion selecting from the "Encouragement" words with a few from the "Lust List" sprinkled in for good measure. I stayed away from the "Greed" and "Forbidden" words, but no judgement here, you do you. ;-)

Here's a list of my top 15 Power Words that can elevate your conversation with ChatGPT, projecting you as an audacious, awe-inspiring, and enticing candidate:

1. Enticing
2. Engaging
3. Unforgettable
4. Amazing
5. Audacious
6. Awe-inspiring
7. Exceptional
8. Pioneering
9. Dynamic
10. Persuasive
11. Proactive
12. Motivated
13. Innovative
14. Strategic
15. Visionary

How do you use them? For example, when writing SPAR stories , you might use this PROMPT: Chat, please rewrite the following accomplishment in a S.P.A.R. Story format where: S = Setup, P = Problem, A = Action, R = Result and in a way that makes me appear visionary, strategic, and innovative.

Accomplishment: It was September of 2017 and I landed on Puertro Rico just after Hurricane Maria had devastated the island. In my assessment of the situation, I realized that the value we could immediately offer was sharing of the electricity provided by our Kmart store generators, allowing customers to charge their electronic devices. I set up "Comfort Zones" of tables, chairs, and power strips at the front of every Kmart and Sears store we were able to open and over the next three months over 10,000 customers used this service which drove traffic to our locations and provided us positive PR and a lot of buzz.

RESULT: S = Setup: Back in September 2017, a paradigm shift unfolded in my career when I found myself on the ground in Puerto Rico, immediately after Hurricane Maria wreaked havoc on the island. As a innovative leader managing our Kmart loyalty program, my directive was to oversee business recovery, enhance customer experience, but I also saw this as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the community.

P = Problem: Amidst the widespread devastation, a glaring challenge emerged: the island's power grid was crippled, leaving residents without a way to charge their essential electronic devices. With each passing hour, this need was becoming an ever-growing crisis for communication and safety.

A = Action: Recognizing this, I embarked on a strategic solution to utilize our resources for the community's benefit. We had functional generators powering our Kmart stores - an energy source that could be shared. With a pioneering approach, I initiated the setup of "Comfort Zones" in each operational Kmart and Sears store. These zones comprised of tables, chairs, and power strips, turning our retail locations into safe havens where customers could charge their devices.

R = Result: Over the next three months, this action resulted in a symbiotic success: we catered to over 25,000 customers, providing them a vital lifeline during an incredibly challenging time. Simultaneously, our stores experienced record breaking footfall, resulting in significant revenue increases, positive media, and positive buzz. Our actions epitomized corporate responsibility, demonstrating the immense value a business can bring to its community, especially during times of crisis.

And that, my word-slinging wizards, is how you use the might of 'Power Words' to boost your ChatGPT prompts and stand out in the crowded job market. By strategically incorporating these power-packed words, you've not only given recruiters a reason to sit up and take notice, but you've also shown them the exceptional, motivated, and dynamic professional that you are. Remember, every word is a chance to persuade, to captivate, and to inspire. So why be ordinary when you can be awe-inspiring? So, go ahead, give it a try. Light up your job search with the power of words and let the world see the visionary you truly are! As always, don't forget to have fun with it. After all, who said job hunting can't be exciting?
