AI Career Stories — Blog Series Spec Writing a post? Start from the template: AI-STORY-SERIES-TEMPLATE.md Copy, rename to how-a-{role}-uses-ai-to-{outcome}.md, fill in placeholders, run the writer checklist at the end before removing the HTML comments.

Series: Real-life stories of people using AI to advance their careers, one per career, mapped to the matching AI bundle.

Purpose: Top-of-funnel SEO + emotional conversion. Readers see someone like them doing it, click through to the bundle. Pairs with the /ai landing page (bottom of funnel) and the career page AI callout (middle of funnel).

Tone: Honest, data-backed, story-driven. No hype. Name a specific role, a specific before/after, a specific workflow change, specific hours saved, specific outcome. If we can't source a real public case study, use a composite "profile" framing ("A [Role] at [Industry Co] we spoke with...") and label it as such.

Word count target: 2,200-2,600 body words per post. Rex's live QC gate is >= 2000 body words excluding frontmatter, so these posts need a safety margin rather than landing on the floor.

Structure (template): 1. Hook (150-250 words) — Specific person, specific moment they realized AI mattered. Real industry context. 2. The old way (200-300 words) — What the work looked like before AI. Pain points, hours spent, frustrations. 3. The turning point (150-250 words) — What changed. Specific event or realization. 4. What they actually do now (500-700 words) — Concrete workflow. Prompts they use. Tools. Time savings. Where the PM/nurse/coder still does the thinking. 5. What their career looks like now (150-250 words) — Title change, comp change, work satisfaction, scope expansion. 6. The honest tradeoffs (150-250 words) — What's harder. What they had to learn. Where AI still falls down. 7. Your next step (150-220 words) — CTA to the AI bundle for their career, with founder-price framing.

SEO priorities: • Keyword: "AI for [role]" + "[role] AI workflow" + "how [role] uses AI" • Match reader intent: they want proof it works, not a sales pitch • Internal links: career page, AI bundle, /ai hub, and at least one sibling blog post or related career page • Schema: BlogPosting with author, publishedAt, articleSection
