Tailor my resume for [JOB POSTING] using only the experience, results, and credentials in [CURRENT RESUME]. I am applying as [CANDIDATE CONTEXT]. My relevant priorities or constraints are [CAREER CONTEXT], and any facts that must not be changed are [FACTS TO PRESERVE]. First, extract the job’s 6–10 most important requirements. Separate must-haves from preferred qualifications, and identify the likely business problems behind the role. Then map each requirement to evidence in my resume. Do not claim proficiency, ownership, years of experience, certifications, tools, titles, or outcomes that are not supported by my materials. Revise for an applicant-tracking system and a hiring manager: 1. Write a targeted 2–3 line professional summary that names the role’s relevant function and strongest evidence, not a list of soft skills. 2. Recommend a reordered skills section using exact job-language only where truthful. 3. Rewrite up to 8 existing bullets in the format action + scope + method + result. Keep dates and employers unchanged. Quantify only with numbers I supplied. 4. For every required qualification with no evidence, state “gap—not safe to claim” and suggest a truthful way to address it in a cover letter, portfolio, or interview. Produce a requirements-to-evidence table, the revised summary, skills order, revised bullets labeled by employer, and a short list of remaining gaps. Before answering, check that every keyword corresponds to real experience and that no bullet merely repeats the job posting. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.
Fill in
| Placeholder | What to enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [JOB POSTING] | Paste the full job description, including responsibilities and qualifications. | Operations Manager at HarborCart: own warehouse KPIs, improve pick-pack accuracy, manage 18 associates, use SQL dashboards, and partner with fulfillment vendors. |
| [CURRENT RESUME] | Paste your current resume with employers, dates, responsibilities, and results. | Jordan Lee, Shift Supervisor, Northline Retail, 2022–present: supervised 14 associates; reduced mis-picks from 2.8% to 1.9%; built weekly Excel reports. Inventory Coordinator, Northline Retail, 2020–2022. |
| [CANDIDATE CONTEXT] | State the target title, location or work authorization constraints, and seniority level. | Applying for Operations Manager roles in Boston; eligible to work in the U.S.; moving from frontline supervision to first manager role. |
| [CAREER CONTEXT] | Describe relevant projects, career changes, or priorities not clear from the resume. | I trained new supervisors and worked with a third-party courier, but I have not used SQL. |
| [FACTS TO PRESERVE] | List details that must remain exactly accurate, such as titles, dates, certifications, and metrics. | Keep employer names, dates, titles, and the 2.8% to 1.9% accuracy result exactly as written. |
How to use
- Paste the entire posting, not just the title and a short duties list, because required qualifications often appear near the end.
- Include your current bullets before asking for new ones so the model can preserve scope, dates, and evidence.
- Treat every listed gap as useful: remove claims you cannot support rather than trying to match every keyword.
- Follow up with: “Rewrite only the summary and the four most relevant bullets for a one-page resume, keeping all claims evidence-backed.”
Variations
Career switcher
Use this when your past title differs from the job title you want.
Compare [TARGET JOB] with [EXPERIENCE HISTORY] for a career switch from [CURRENT FIELD] to [TARGET FIELD]. Identify transferable evidence in operations, analysis, customer work, project delivery, or leadership, but do not rename my prior roles or imply direct experience I lack. Produce a resume summary, six truthful bullets, and a gap plan with one portfolio, course, or interview proof point per gap. Use exact job terminology only where supported. Check each bullet for a concrete action and evidence. Ask up to 3 questions only if required inputs are missing.
Executive resume
Use this for director or vice president roles where scope and business outcomes matter most.
Tailor [EXECUTIVE RESUME] to [LEADERSHIP JOB POSTING]. Extract the role’s mandate, decision scope, operating metrics, and stakeholder expectations. Produce a 3-line executive profile and revise up to 10 bullets to foreground business scale, leadership span, budget, strategic decisions, and measurable outcomes found in my material. Do not invent board exposure, P&L ownership, headcount, or transformation results. Include a table of job requirement, evidence, and gap. Check that the top third reflects the mandate rather than a career chronology. Ask up to 3 questions only if inputs are missing.
ATS keyword audit
Use this when your resume is already close and you need a truth-based keyword check.
Audit [RESUME] against [JOB DESCRIPTION] for applicant-tracking-system relevance. List required and preferred terms in three groups: already supported and visible, supported but missing from wording, and unsupported. Then give exact, minimal wording changes for the supported-but-missing group, identifying the resume section for each change. Do not recommend stuffing terms into a skills list or adding tools I have not used. Produce a prioritized checklist of no more than 12 edits. Check that each recommended term maps to evidence in my resume. Ask up to 3 questions only if required inputs are missing.
Tips
- Match the job’s nouns to your evidence, but keep your employer’s real title; “led fulfillment operations” may be accurate while changing “Shift Supervisor” to “Operations Manager” is not.
- Use results with a denominator or baseline when possible, such as error rate, cost per order, time to close, team size, or revenue affected.
- Put the most relevant evidence in the top third of page one; ATS matching cannot compensate for a recruiter seeing unrelated work first.
- If a required tool is missing, state adjacent experience honestly and prepare one example of how you learned a comparable tool.
FAQ
Can AI add keywords that are not on my resume?
It can suggest wording only when your experience supports it. A keyword for a tool, certification, or responsibility you do not have should remain a gap.
Should I tailor my resume for every application?
Tailor the summary, skills order, and selected bullets for roles that are meaningfully different. Keep a master resume with fuller evidence so you do not lose useful details.
How many bullets should change?
Change the bullets that carry the strongest proof for the target role. Rewriting every bullet can bury the experience that establishes your broader credibility.
