Gemini Helped Me Break Into UK Tech – No CS Degree, Just This Prompt System

Gemini

Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of career entry – and in the UK tech world, Gemini and ChatGPT opened doors for me that no coding bootcamp or degree could. I used a sequence of AI-powered prompts to go from frustrated jobseeker to junior product hire at a top London startup in less than two months.

Gemini and ChatGPT mapped out my job strategy – not just my skills

Gemini and ChatGPT, two of the world’s most advanced chatbots, became my secret career mentors. Instead of generic job board trawling, I asked Gemini:

“Analyze 10 job descriptions for entry-level tech roles in the UK. What skills, keywords, and project types appear most often?”

Gemini listed:

  • User research, wireframing, stakeholder communication
  • AI tool experience (ChatGPT, Notion, Midjourney)
  • Case studies and portfolio projects over degree credentials

ChatGPT then helped me audit my own skills and build a roadmap for upskilling, tailored specifically for UK product roles.

Gemini turned every job description into a personalized project checklist

Gemini’s artificial intelligence wasn’t just about data – it was about action. I sent it a Notion database of saved UK job posts and prompted:

“Create a project roadmap based on these descriptions. For each skill or tool required, give me a 1-week challenge that I can add to my portfolio.”

In two weeks, I had:

  • A 7-day UX case study using Figma
  • A prompt engineering task with ChatGPT for automating reports
  • A “fake” client project using Gemini to draft emails and spec docs

This let me build a real-world portfolio – the kind that got noticed even by companies that said “CS degree preferred.”

ChatGPT and Claude rewrote my CV, cover letters, and interview stories

ChatGPT structured every resume and application, replacing weak “duties” with specific, impact-driven outcomes. For each job, I used this prompt:

“Tailor my CV for this product analyst job. Focus on transferable skills, project impact, and AI tools. Keep it UK-centric and avoid empty buzzwords.”

Claude then made each version sound like me – not a bot. I gave it the ChatGPT draft and said:

“Rewrite this cover letter as a Londoner with hustle, optimism, and attention to detail.”

This combo cut my application time by 80 percent – and recruiters started writing back.

Gemini coached me through UK interviews – with real feedback and confidence

Gemini, acting as both recruiter and coach, simulated realistic UK tech interviews. My prep prompt:

“Role-play a Zoom interview for a junior PM role at a London SaaS company. Ask me behavioral questions, then rate my answers for clarity, UK context, and confidence.”

After each mock session, Gemini:

  • Gave concrete feedback (“Try referencing the UK market or local user needs”)
  • Suggested new stories based on my actual projects
  • Tracked which answers landed and which needed more punch

My first real interview felt easy – because I’d already been grilled by a relentless, unbiased AI.

Bonus Prompt – My Gemini Portfolio Builder

Here’s the exact Gemini prompt that turned my job search around:

“Scan these 5 UK tech job ads. Identify the most wanted tools and skills. Then design a 4-week project plan that lets me build evidence of each. Write it as a Notion board with tasks, deadlines, and deliverable examples.”

I reused this for every niche I applied to – PM, data analyst, ops, even marketing.
