LinkedIn Power Prompt for ChatGPTBoost Your Profile with This Detailed Superprompt!
LinkedIn is a mixed bag for me. I love the idea behind the platform, but it doesn’t always deliver what it promises. From desperate and misguided midlife crisis sufferers using it as a dating site to the constant spam from people who have done the least amount of research possible before inboxing me, there’s a lot of crap. Then again, maybe the problem is me. I’ll admit that I don’t give it the kind of consistent attention that any platform requires to find true success. These thoughts were haunting me until I stumbled upon an awesome prompt from Milo at AIAssetHub. The prompt itself is a pretty lengthy one, but a simple copy-and-paste will cut through the red tape and get right down to what the model needs to know about you. (And it doesn’t matter which model you use; ChatGPT works as great as Gemini works as great as Claude and so on…) Here’s how it played out when I tried it on the ChatGPT 4o model: CLICK HERE FOR THE PROMPT - WORD OF WARNING, IT'S A LONG ONE!AI Anxiety Spurs 61% Upskilling Among US WorkersA majority of U.S. workers are increasingly concerned about AI’s impact on their careers — and they’re responding by taking action. According to a recent edX survey of 929 employed adults, 61% are now considering upskilling or reskilling to stay competitive as AI continues to evolve rapidly. Nearly half (47%) of respondents view AI as a direct threat to their jobs, while a similar share (49%) believe it endangers workers across their industry. Millennials are especially worried: 54% see AI as a personal job threat, and 56% fear for their peers. They're also the most proactive — 67% are considering skill-building, and 45% say they'll spend more than $5,000 on education or training this year. Despite these concerns, only 4% of workers are currently enrolled in any AI-related training. However, 66% — including 71% of millennials — say they’re at least somewhat likely to pursue such training within the next six months. Among those planning to upskill, 80% want to strengthen their current role, while nearly 1 in 5 see AI education as a possible career pivot. The urgency stems from a growing perception that AI skills are now essential. Over half of workers (54%) say AI proficiency is “very” or “extremely” important for staying relevant in their careers. Among managers, that number jumps to 65%, with 73% saying they’re actively considering upskilling themselves. At the same time, 58% of all workers — and 70% of tech professionals — say their industries lack adequate AI expertise. The skills workers most want to develop include AI literacy, machine learning, and prompt engineering. While anxiety is fueling this shift, optimism plays a role, too: 60% of workers believe emerging AI technology actually makes it easier to learn new skills — a sentiment shared by 68% of millennials.

Its ServiceNow partnership points to a broader trend: digital humans plugging into back-office platforms to make AI interactions feel natural and drive real operational ROI.
