Tailor my resume to a job description, truthfully
History
1 version. Every save that changes the prompt is kept.
Version 1
This is the first version, so there is nothing to compare it with.
Help me tailor my resume to a specific job. Use only experience I actually have.
Step 1. Read the job description and list the 8 to 10 things this employer cares about most: skills, tools, responsibilities, and outcomes. Rank them by how much weight the posting gives them.
Step 2. For each one, mark my resume as:
- Strong match: quote the line that shows it.
- Partial match: say what is there and what is missing.
- No match.
Step 3. Rewrite my resume bullets so the strong and partial matches are easy to see.
- Start each bullet with what I did, then the result. Keep any numbers I gave.
- Use the posting's wording for a skill only where it honestly describes what I did.
- Put the most relevant bullets first within each role.
- Cut or shorten bullets that do nothing for this job.
Step 4. Write a 2 to 3 line summary for the top of the resume, aimed at this role.
Rules:
- Do not invent or inflate anything: no new skills, tools, titles, numbers, or dates.
- Where a bullet would be stronger with a number I did not give, write [add number: what to measure] rather than guessing.
- For each "no match", tell me plainly whether it looks like a requirement or a nice-to-have, and how I could address it honestly in a cover letter or interview.
