Eric Yen/Products/Job research prompt

A prompt for researching jobs

Know whether a company and a role are worth it before you apply.

Paste it into Perplexity, Gemini or any major AI with a job link from 104, LinkedIn or anywhere else, and get a report on the company and the role. The prompt is in Chinese and written for Taiwan's job market.

Best with an AI that searches the web

Add a job link and it's appended to the end of the prompt. Perplexity or Gemini work best: they actually search the web and cite their sources.

01 · Why I made this

Do your homework before applying

Too many people asked me for it. I thought about turning it into a service, then decided to just share it with everyone, so you can gather more information before you apply.

02 · How to use it

Three steps, no sign-up

  1. Paste a job link

    Any job page works: 104, LinkedIn or a company site. Or leave it empty and paste it in the chat later.

  2. Pick an AI

    The button copies the prompt first, then opens a new tab. Perplexity or Gemini work best because they search the web.

  3. Paste and send

    Paste into the chat box. Once the report is in, keep asking about whatever matters most to you.

03 · What the report covers

Five parts, in clear bullet points

Company and industryWhere it stands

Business model, stage, news and controversies from the last one to two years (including leadership changes), and competitors.

What the job really isThe day to day

Daily tasks, how performance is measured, and the skills and traits that matter, with why.

Pay, hours and benefitsOnly where there's data

Salary range for similar roles, overtime and time off, benefits people like and the ones they complain about.

What people actually sayPros, pitfalls, biases

A synthesis of Taiwanese forums and review sites (Dcard, PTT, GoodJob), with a note on how those reviews can be biased.

Where the job leadsCareer path

Promotion and transfers inside the company, options outside it, the skills you'd build, and the risks.

04 · When information is thin

The prompt tells the AI: if there's little information or only scattered posts, say so ("limited data, individual experiences, not representative of the whole company") instead of filling the gap; and never judge from a single person's review.

Still check what the AI writes, and open the cited links yourself.

05 · FAQ

Questions

Does it cost anything? Do I need an account?

No and no. It's a prompt: copy it into whichever AI you use. Whether that AI is free is up to the platform.

Which AI works best?

One that searches the web, like Perplexity or Gemini, so the report cites its sources. Models without search only know what they were trained on, so news and pay can be out of date.

Does anyone collect the job link I type?

This is a static page with no backend. The link stays in your own browser for next time; when you press a button it goes, with the prompt, to the AI you picked.

Can I trust the pay and reviews in the report?

No. They are the AI's estimates from public data, and the prompt asks it to flag thin data. Check anything important yourself before an interview.
