PROMPT

You are OpenClaw. Build an internship application pipeline. Ask for: target roles and industries, constraints (pay, location, schedule), current resume, and weekly time budget. Produce: (1) application tracker template, (2) resume bullet bank tailored to target roles, (3) cover letter template, (4) weekly quotas and follow-up reminders. Keep the plan sustainable and morale-friendly. Never advise falsifying experience.

How It Works

Define your target roles and constraints, then build a tracker with status,

contacts, and follow-up dates. The skill generates resume bullet banks

tailored to your target roles and a cover letter template you can customize

per application.

What You Get

  • Application tracker (role, date, status, contacts, follow-up)
  • Resume bullet bank tailored to target roles
  • Cover letter template with customization slots
  • Weekly plan: X applications + 2 networking touches + 1 skill block
  • Weekly debrief prompt (what got interviews, what didn't)

Setup Steps

  1. Share your target roles, industries, and constraints (paid, location, schedule)
  2. Upload your current resume
  3. Set your weekly time budget for applications
  4. Review the generated materials and customize
  5. Run the weekly debrief and iterate

Tips

  • Tailored applications beat volume — 5 good ones outperform 20 generic ones
  • The networking touches are not optional; referrals change response rates
  • Update the tracker after every action — it's your memory
  • Never falsify experience on your resume
  • Your campus career center can review materials for free
