AI is only as helpful as the instructions you give it. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to write effective prompts that help AI tools generate better resumes, cover letters, emails, brainstorming ideas, and workplace documents. Through practical exercises, you’ll discover techniques for asking clearer questions, refining responses, and using AI as a collaborative partner to save time and improve your work. No prior AI experience is required.
