Whoa! That’s awesome to hear. Feel free to pass on any feedback or suggestions. Out of curiosity: is Merlin checking company sites for the mission and values? Is it searching job sites for reviews? I have a feeling that more and more sites are beginning to block ChatGPT… sadly.

Look up “formatting the output from chatGPT” for some ideas on how to format your copy. You can also use Templates for it to follow… I have also been struggling to keep Merlin from going “off script” at times. On the one hand, it’s been fascinating and shocking to see what it comes up with. On the other hand, it’s frustrating as all get out. I am experimenting with “temperature” at the moment; this lets me dial in how “creative” Merlin can get. I’ve set a different temperature for each step. I think it’s helping? I’m still trying to figure that out. I’m doing a major overhaul of Merlin this weekend. Hopefully I won’t break anything!

I also want it to follow a specific formula for my cover letter. It seems to ignore my instructions when I specify how to do that in detail in the GPT Builder. Did you run into this?

Well, there’s no code per se. I used the GPT Builder and fed it the instructions I wanted it to follow. It’s basically a bunch of prompts. Plus, I think they changed something… I am no longer able to provide URLs for parsing job posts. Things seem a bit broken at the moment. I am overhauling the instruction set.

Sorry about the download link. I am having the same issue. You can also ask Merlin to give you the content of the resume just as text (for you to copy and paste). I’m still experimenting with that feature (I didn’t even know it was possible until someone else told me that Merlin had offered them a download). Regarding your second question… you can use Merlin (or many of the other GPTs) out there to do tailor a resume for you. Instead of starting the 10-step process here, just tell Merlin/ChatGPT what you want: “Act as a professional resume writer. Rewrite my resume to focus on and appeal to SaaS companies in Fintech ( <-- or whatever)." Something like that. You could also give it instructions to modify your Objective Statement, too.
