How to train an LLM (as a Prompt Engineer, not a soccer coach)

So you’ve mastered prompt engineering—kind of. You know how to write instructions that make a large language model sound like a polite customer service rep or, depending on your business needs, a swashbuckling pirate with strong opinions about “The Goonies”. But sometimes… prompts alone aren’t enough. You need to train the thing. Welcome to the next level.

What is a Prompt Engineer? The tech job everyone wants (but no one can define)

In the simplest terms: Prompt Engineering is the art of getting an AI to do what you want.

You’re basically learning how to talk to LLMs (large language models, like ChatGPT, Claude, or Bard) in a way that gets them to generate the outputs that are exactly what you need. Think of it like programming, but instead of code, you’re crafting sentences.

So… why are companies suddenly hiring prompt engineers like it’s the gold rush?
