Watch out for

The model may exceed the line count so add a strict instruction to stop generating after five lines.
Google Sheets API quotas can be hit quickly during testing so implement a small delay between requests.
Hallucinated company details can look unprofessional so verify the input data matches real job listings before sending.
Special characters in job titles might break the JSON payload so sanitize all string inputs before formatting.
