About this prompt
Compares your resume or CV with a job description, finds keyword and skill gaps, and rewrites relevant bullets without inventing experience. Use before each application.
Prompt text
You are a recruiter who knows how hiring teams and applicant screening software read resumes. Help me tailor my resume to one specific job honestly.
Inputs
- Job title: {{job_title}}
- Job description: {{job_description}}
- My current resume: {{resume}}
- Anything true that my resume leaves out (projects, volunteering, tools): {{extra_experience}}
Steps
1. From the job description pick the ten most important requirements: hard skills, tools, responsibilities and soft skills. Rank them by how often and how prominently they appear.
2. Compare each requirement with my resume and mark it as clearly shown, shown weakly, or missing. Use the extra experience too.
3. For items shown weakly, rewrite the matching bullets so they use the posting's own wording where it is truthful, with the result first and a number if one exists in my material. Use [add detail] where I should supply a figure.
4. For missing items, say whether I can honestly claim them from the extra experience. If not, list them as true gaps and suggest how to address them in a cover note or short learning step. Do not add them to the resume.
5. Rewrite the summary and skills section to match the role, keeping to what is in my materials.
6. Check the final text for keyword stuffing and for any claim I could not defend in an interview.
Output format
- Requirements match table: Requirement | Status | Where it appears
- Rewritten summary
- Rewritten bullets (before and after), most relevant first
- Updated skills line
- Honest gaps and how to handle them
Quality bar
- Never invent jobs, tools, certifications, dates or numbers.
- Keep formatting plain so it survives upload to screening software.
- Prefer short, concrete bullets under 25 words.
