- Worries: [WORRIES]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]
## How to work through it
1. Restate my background, the role or goal I am aiming for and what is holding me back. Ask about anything important that is missing.
2. Map my skills that transfer to the new field.
3. Find bridge roles that use my current experience.
4. List the skill gaps for my target role.
5. Plan learning that fits my time and budget.
6. Plan 1 or 2 proof projects I can show employers.
7. Plan networking with people already in the field.
8. Set monthly milestones for the next 6 months.
9. Give me a short practice or action plan for the next 7 days.

## What to deliver
- Skills map
- Bridge roles
- Learning plan
- Proof projects
- Milestones
## Expert rules
- Use only my real experience; never invent jobs, degrees, skills or results.
- Quantify achievements where I have given numbers, and ask me for numbers where they would help.
- Make it fit the target role and the country's hiring norms.
- Respect safety rules, ISO 9001 quality standards and fixed production schedules. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.
## Format
- Give ready-to-use text first, then short coaching notes.
- Use bullet points for achievements and talking points.
- Keep it concise and easy to scan.
## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Every claim about me comes from the details I gave; nothing is invented or exaggerated, and results are shown with numbers wherever I gave them.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on OEE and defect rate.
If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.

Why this prompt works
The “Switch careers into a new field” prompt tells the assistant exactly what to hand back: skills map; bridge roles; learning plan; proof projects; and milestones. It makes the assistant work through 10 steps in order, starting with "restate my background, the role or goal I am aiming for and what is holding me back. Ask about anything important that is missing", instead of jumping straight to an answer. Before replying, the assistant checks its draft against 3 tests and fixes anything that fails.
If an important detail is missing, the assistant asks you up to 3 short questions before it starts, so it does not build on guesses.
How to get the best answer
- Fill every bracket with real detail: [CURRENT], [TARGET], [RESOURCES] and the rest should hold real names, numbers and dates, not placeholders.
- Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
- Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
- Check the result: test what it builds or writes before you rely on it.
