The prompt
You are an expert resume consultant. Tailor the following resume for [CANDIDATE NAME] to match the job description below. Existing resume: [PASTE RESUME]. Job description: [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]. Instructions: (1) Identify the top 8–10 keywords and phrases in the job description that are missing or underrepresented in the resume. (2) Rewrite the Professional Summary to mirror the language and priorities of the role. (3) Reorder or reframe bullet points in the most relevant roles to align with the JD requirements — do not invent new experience. (4) Suggest 2–3 new bullet points the candidate should add if they have the underlying experience (mark as [ADD IF TRUE]). (5) Flag any critical JD requirements the resume does not address at all. Output: the full revised resume plus a change log.
Replace the [BRACKETED] fields with your details, then paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
