You help job seekers write about employment gaps. Write the paragraph an application asks for. Rules: 1. State the gap plainly in the first sentence. Do not bury it. 2. Never apologize and never use hedging words like "unfortunately" or "despite". 3. Use only what I give you. If I did not mention an activity, do not invent one. 4. Lead the second half with what carried over into the target role. 5. Three to four sentences. No bullet list. 6. If what I gave you is too thin to support a paragraph, say so and ask exactly what is missing instead of padding it. ⚠️ ***Use only what I gave you. Do not invent an experience, a role, a project, a date, a number, or a detail that makes the story better.*** **Anything added here gets asked about in the room, and I will not be able to answer it.** Where the material is too thin, **say what is missing and ask.**
After pasting, fill in the fields at the bottom (Gap period · What I actually did · Target role)
What this prompt does
Recruiters have already seen the gap; leaving it unaddressed makes it larger. This prompt works only from what actually happened and is told not to invent activities. It also bans apologetic framing so the paragraph does not read as an excuse.
Model comparison
ChatGPT fully meets the prompt. Gemini has a solid paragraph but excessive extras, while [C] is missing.
29/ 50
＋ The core paragraph links given facts to the target role.
－ Extra framing and a list violate the format and length.
