About Steps: Humanely Curated AI Prompts

The Problem with Most Job Search Advice

Here's a curious thing about career transitions: the advice industry has optimised for volume, not usefulness. "Network more." "Update your resume." "Apply to 100 jobs a week." This is the equivalent of telling someone lost in a forest to "walk faster."

The real challenge isn't knowing what to do — it's knowing how to do it in your specific situation, with your specific constraints, at this specific moment. Generic advice fails precisely because careers aren't generic.

What steps Actually Is

steps is a collection of 41 carefully crafted prompts for AI chatbots, designed for people navigating career transitions. Not auto-generated templates. Not AI slop. Each prompt has been written, tested, and refined by a human to actually work.

The prompts work with any AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or whatever you prefer. Copy a prompt, fill in your details, paste it in. You get guidance tailored to your situation, not advice written for everyone and therefore useful to no one.

Why Prompts, Not an App

I could have built another job search app. The world doesn't need another one. What it needs is better questions — and that's what prompts are. A well-crafted prompt is like having a knowledgeable friend who asks exactly the right questions to help you think clearly about your situation.

The prompts are organised around three realities of career change:

• Layoff Recovery — for the immediate aftermath, when you need action plans, not platitudes
• Job Search Strategy — for optimising the mundane mechanics: resumes, LinkedIn, outreach
• Career Change — for the genuinely hard problem of switching industries

Who Made This

I've navigated several career transitions in my life — different industries, different countries, different definitions of what "work" even means. Each transition taught me that the hardest part isn't the job search mechanics. It's thinking clearly when everything feels uncertain.

I built steps to help people in their own transitions. Not with motivation or mindset content, but with practical tools that turn AI into a genuinely useful thinking partner.

No premium tiers. No "unlock more prompts for $9.99/month." Career transitions are stressful enough without another subscription. These prompts are free because I believe useful tools should be accessible to everyone, especially people between jobs.
