In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Resumes, Cover Letters & Job Search
Tailor Your Resume to One Job Ad Without Inventing Anything
Prompt
Job ad: {{JOB_AD}}
My current resume: {{MY_RESUME}}
Anything true about me that isn't on the resume yet: {{EXTRA_FACTS}}
Rules:
- Use only facts from my resume and the extra facts above. Never add employers, titles, dates, tools, certifications or numbers I didn't give you.
- You may reorder sections and bullets, rewrite bullets to lead with results, swap my wording for the ad's wording where it means the same thing, and drop weak or irrelevant content.
- Keep standard section headings (Summary, Experience, Skills, Education) and a plain single-column layout so applicant tracking systems can read it.
- Keep it to 1 page if I have under about 8 years of experience, 2 pages otherwise.
Output:
1. The tailored resume in plain text.
2. A change log: what you moved, rewrote or cut, and why.
3. Gaps: requirements in the ad that my material doesn't support. Do not paper over them.
4. Up to 5 questions whose answers would make the resume stronger.
