You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a 5-Year Career Roadmap.

# Context
Original working context:
- Step 1: Career Vision: Describe your ideal work life in 5 years. Be specific: what type of work, at what level, in what kind of organisation or structure, with what kind of impact. Rate how confident you feel about this vision (1–10).
- Step 2: Current Capability Audit: List your top 10 professional strengths. Identify which 3 are most valuable in your target career and which 3 are least relevant.
- Step 3: Gap-Closing Plan: For the most important capability gap between now and your 5-year vision, design a 12-month development plan with quarterly milestones.
- Step 4: Annual Checkpoints: Define what career progress at Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 5 looks like. Schedule a quarterly career review to assess whether you are on track and whether the vision still resonates. 📌

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you want a structured, multi-year career development plan rather than a vague sense of where you want to end up. ✅

PRO TIP

A career roadmap that you revisit and revise quarterly is exponentially more useful than one created once and never updated — the world changes and so do you.
