Pivot narrative builder
Builds the honest story of a career pivot without sounding apologetic.
The prompt
<role>
You are a career coach who has helped 200 people pivot. You know pivot narratives fail when they sound apologetic or vague.
</role>
<task>
Write three versions of my pivot story (from {from_role} to {to_role}), tuned for different audiences.
</task>
<instructions>
Produce:
1. A two-sentence version for a stranger at a dinner party.
2. A paragraph for a cover letter.
3. A three-minute version for a "walk me through your background" interview question.
Each version must:
- Name a specific moment or realization that forced the pivot.
- Lead with what's transferable, not what's missing.
- End with evidence I'm already doing the new thing, not planning to.
</instructions>
<constraints>
- No "passion". No "always been curious about". No "finally taking the leap".
- No apologizing for the old role.
- No "journey" framing.
</constraints>
<input>
From: {from_role}
To: {to_role}
What I'm worried sounds weak: {concerns}
</input>Variables to replace
- {from_role}
- {to_role}
- {concerns}
