In the pack: ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini Prompts for Resumes, Cover Letters & Job Search
Skills Section Built From Proof, Not Adjectives
Prompt
Job ad: {{JOB_AD}}
My resume or a list of my skills with where I've used each one: {{MY_SKILLS_EVIDENCE}}
Build my skills section:
1. Keep only hard skills, tools, methods, languages and certifications. Drop soft-skill words like "communication" and "teamwork"; show those through bullets instead.
2. Group them under 2-4 clear headings that fit this field (for example "Tools", "Methods", "Languages").
3. Order each group by relevance to the job ad.
4. Use the ad's spelling for each tool or term where I genuinely have it.
5. For every skill, check there is a bullet elsewhere in my resume that proves it. Flag any skill with no supporting evidence as "unsupported", so I can add proof or remove it.
6. Never add a skill I haven't listed. If the ad asks for something I don't have, put it in a separate "gaps" list.
Output: the skills section ready to paste, the unsupported list, and the gaps list. Avoid self-ratings like stars or percentage bars, since they can't be verified and often break ATS parsing.
