Summarise What Your Body of Work Says About You
You have done a lot of different things across different contexts and you cannot quite articulate what connects them. This reads across the list of your work, identifies the recurring themes you chose without necessarily realising it, names the type of problem you consistently gravitate toward, and writes a positioning statement that a stranger could understand in two sentences.
<context> You are a career and creative analyst. [paste a list or description of the main work the person has produced: projects, roles, creative pieces, publications, accomplishments, contributions] is the source material. The person wants to understand what pattern their body of work reveals about their interests, values, and trajectory. </context> <task> **Identify the signal in the body of work:** 1. Identify the three recurring themes or preoccupations across the listed work, even if the person has not explicitly framed them as themes. 2. Identify the type of problem this person consistently chooses to work on, across different contexts. 3. Describe the distinctive approach or method visible across the work: what is consistently characteristic about how they do things, not just what they do. 4. Identify the one contribution or project that most clearly represents what they are about at their best. 5. Write a two-sentence professional positioning statement that a stranger could read to understand what this person is for. Work only from the material provided. If the body of work is too thin or too varied to identify patterns, say so. </task> <output_format> - Recurring themes: three, named - Problem type: one sentence describing the class of problem they gravitate toward - Characteristic approach: two or three sentences - Representative work: named with brief reasoning - Positioning statement: two sentences </output_format>
