gluntyLand the Job and Win the Raise
The tool drafts the sharpest version of your real story - you hit send, walk in, and get paid.
- 01
A robot reads you first
Before any human sees your resume, a filter scans it for the exact skills in the posting. Whatever survives, a tired recruiter skims in six seconds. Write for the machine and the human at once, or you never get read at all.
Paste the job post and your resume into AI: 'What skills in this posting are missing from my resume that I actually have?' - 02
It drafts, you decide
AI is a wood-felling axe pointed at your career, not a buddy who knows your life. It writes fast, confident, and sometimes wrong. Every line it generates is a draft until you have confirmed it is true and it is actually you.
- 03
Speak their exact words
The posting says 'stakeholder management' and you wrote 'worked with teams.' Wrong. Use their phrase - but only where it is genuinely true of you. Matching their vocabulary tells the filter and the human you are the answer to the job they wrote.
Ask AI: 'Rewrite my bullets in the exact terminology from this posting - only where my real experience matches.' - 04
Numbers beat adjectives
'Improved performance' is noise. 'Cut load time 40 percent, saved 12 hours a week' is a signal. Every adjective is a claim you are begging them to trust; every number is proof they cannot argue with. Quantify or it did not happen.
For each bullet ask: how many, how much, how fast, how often? Can't answer? Dig until you find the number. - 05
The resume is checkable
A fake title, a stretched date, a degree you never finished - each one is a single reference call away from ending your career. The AI will happily invent a better you. Don't let it. The edge is sharpening the truth, never manufacturing a lie.
- 06
Make it about them
A cover letter about your journey gets skipped. One about their problem - and exactly how you would attack it in your first 90 days - gets read to the end. Nobody hires to fund your dreams. They hire to kill their pain.
Open on their problem, not your name: 'Your team is scaling support and drowning in tickets. Here is how I would cut response time.' - 07
'Please hire me' gets ignored
Outreach that begs for a job dies in the inbox. Outreach that hands the reader something useful - an insight, a fix, an idea for their actual problem - gets a reply. Be the message they are glad they opened, not the one they archive.
Lead with value, then ask. Glunty's work-email prompt pack has cold-outreach openers built for exactly this. - 08
Rehearse against a brutal panel
Rehearsing answers in your head is not practice. Tell an AI to play a hostile hiring panel, feed it the role, and make it attack your weakest answers - out loud, in your voice. The point isn't comfort. It is finding the question that cracks you before the real room does.
Prompt: 'You are a tough panel for [role]. Ask hard questions, then tear my answers apart and tell me what is weak.' - 09
The first number anchors everything
Whoever names a figure first sets the gravity for the entire negotiation. Blurt your current salary or a nervous low hope, and you have capped yourself before it started. Never say a number without a plan - and usually, let them go first.
When pushed early: 'I want to be sure the role is a fit first - what range have you budgeted for this?' - 10
Bring receipts, not feelings
'I feel I deserve more' loses every time. 'People with my scope in this market make X to Y, here are the sources' wins. Walk in with a number backed by data and it stops being your opinion - it becomes the market's.
Have AI compile comparable ranges for your role, level, and city - then verify against real listings before you cite them. - 11
Argue the future, not the past
A raise isn't a gold star for last year's loyalty - it is a bet on next year's value. Don't recite what you have done; show what you will own and what it is worth to them. Make keeping you the cheapest option on the table.
