Ask for Specific Feedback
Added 2026-10-31
Replace "how was it" with three answerable questions.
I want feedback from a senior colleague but do not want "it was fine". Write a request: 1) name what I want to improve — a presentation, a document; 2) ask three specific questions (which part made you want to skip, which number did not convince you, what one change would you make); 3) say how I will use the feedback; 4) offer a low-effort reply channel — voice note or three sentences; 5) under 100 words.

How to use
要反馈时给问题，不给开放题。
Try tweaking it
- Rewrite each experience as action + result + verifiable number.
- Have it gather the job requirements first, then rewrite against them.
What you should get
- Rewritten bullets: action, result, number
- Likely follow-up questions and how to answer
Common mistakes
- Asking it to "optimise the CV", and every line starts sounding like a template.
- Adding projects you never did — it falls apart in the first interview.
How to check the output
- Each line is action + result + number, and you can defend the details.
- Nothing you did not actually do has been added.
Where it works
- Good for: rewriting experience as action + result + verifiable metric for CVs and interviews.
- Watch out: metrics must be real; AI can phrase them, not invent them.
