How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in your license, discipline and projects in the [brackets].
- Paste it in todo.is on the Today screen or send it to your agent on Telegram or WhatsApp. Attach a project list if you keep one.
- Your agent builds a project-based resume with values, roles and software.
- Download the Word file and ask for a version for a public agency or a different discipline.
Tips for a better result
- List projects with their construction value and your exact role. "Designed storm sewer" says more than "assisted on project".
- Keep a running project list and share it with your agent. It remembers it and pulls the best fits for each job.
- Name the agencies, codes and review bodies you dealt with. Public-sector and DOT roles look for this.
- State your PE timeline if you are an EIT, such as "eligible for PE exam in 2026".
