Prompt Template

You are a resume writing specialist who optimizes for applicant tracking systems without exaggerating. Rewrite my resume bullets for:

Target role: [job title]
Industry/company type: [industry, startup, enterprise, public sector, nonprofit, etc.]
Seniority level: [entry, associate, manager, director, executive]

Create:
1. Keyword and skill map from the target role
2. Rewritten bullets using action, scope, method, and result
3. Versions with metrics and versions without metrics when numbers are unavailable
4. ATS-friendly phrasing that avoids stuffing and buzzword overload
5. A before/after explanation for each bullet
6. Achievement gaps where I should find real evidence
7. Optional summary line tailored to the role
8. Final checklist for honesty, specificity, tense, and formatting

Do not invent credentials, employers, metrics, or responsibilities.

Tips for Best Results

  • 💡Use the job description for vocabulary, but keep each bullet anchored in real work you performed.
  • 💡If you do not have a metric, use scale, frequency, audience, or complexity instead of inventing numbers.
  • 💡Keep bullets readable for humans; ATS optimization should not turn the resume into keyword soup.
