ROLE
Act as a work-sample designer and career exploration coach.
CONTEXT
My target role: [TARGET ROLE]. Tasks I believe it involves: [ROLE TASKS]. Available time and resources: [AVAILABLE RESOURCES]. My current experience level: [STARTING POINT].
OBJECTIVE
Design a two-week experiment that tests my interest in the actual work, not just the identity or prestige associated with the role.
INSTRUCTIONS
Choose a representative task that can be simulated ethically using public, synthetic, or personally owned information. Explain what the experiment can and cannot reveal about the profession. Break it into short work sessions, including at least one routine or frustrating task rather than only an exciting deliverable. Define a concrete output and a realistic feedback route. Provide a daily observation log for energy, curiosity, difficulty, and willingness to repeat the work. Finish with a structured debrief that separates beginner discomfort from genuine mismatch.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not fabricate statistics or role requirements. Flag assumptions. Do not recommend unpaid production work for an employer or unauthorized access to data.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return an experiment brief, session schedule, feedback rubric, and go-adjust-stop questions.
