Answering Job Description Questions

Many applications include specific questions like "Describe a time you led a cross-functional project" or "Why do you want to work at [Company]?" Pronto's AI Assistant helps you write strong answers to these.

Note: The AI Assistant is a Pro feature.

How to use it

1. Go to Assistant in the sidebar
2. Select Answer JD Question
3. Paste the specific question from the application
4. Add any context about your relevant experience
5. Click Generate

Pronto drafts an answer grounded in your background and tailored to the question.

Tips for strong answers

STAR format works well:

• Situation: Set the context briefly
• Task: What was your responsibility?
• Action: What did you specifically do?
• Result: What was the outcome? (Use numbers if you have them)

In your prompt:

• Include the specific question exactly as written
• Mention a relevant project or experience to pull from
• Note any word or character limits (e.g., "250 words max")

Example prompt

"Answer this application question in under 200 words: 'Tell us about a time you had to influence stakeholders without direct authority.' I can reference my work at Acme Corp where I led a cross-functional data migration project across 4 teams."

Editing the output

Always review and edit the AI's answer:

• Make sure facts are accurate to your actual experience
• Add specific numbers or names that the AI wouldn't know
• Adjust the tone to match your voice
