ChatGPT prompt for a content writer CV

Write a tailored resume for a content writer application using only the information I provide.

Target job posting: [JOB POSTING]
My work history and achievements: [WORK HISTORY]
Portfolio, writing samples, and tools: [PORTFOLIO AND TOOLS]
Education and credentials: [EDUCATION AND CREDENTIALS]
Resume constraints: [RESUME CONSTRAINTS]

Extract the role’s required responsibilities, content formats, audiences, subject areas, editorial processes, and tools. Then select the experience that best proves those requirements. Do not restate my full career history or copy the job description.

Produce a one- or two-page, ATS-readable resume in this order: name and contact placeholders; targeted headline; three-line professional summary; core skills grouped as Editorial, Content Strategy, and Tools; experience in reverse chronology; selected portfolio links or writing samples; education and credentials. For each relevant role, write three to five bullets using strong verbs, scope, format, audience, process, and outcome. Use numbers only when they appear in my materials. If an outcome is qualitative, describe the evidence plainly, such as “managed editorial calendar for weekly product blog.”

Match job keywords naturally, especially content types, CMS platforms, SEO practices, and stakeholder collaboration. Do not claim SEO growth, conversion results, publication bylines, management, subject-matter expertise, or software proficiency unless supported by my inputs. Keep bullets to two lines where possible.

Before answering, check that at least two achievements clearly map to two key job requirements, and flag every unsupported claim or missing evidence instead of filling gaps. Ask up to three clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.

Create a one-page transition resume for [TARGET CONTENT ROLE] using [TRANSFERABLE EXPERIENCE], [WRITING SAMPLES], and [EDUCATION OR TRAINING]. Lead with a summary that names the content formats and audience I can credibly serve.

Include a Selected Projects section. Flag gaps between my evidence and [JOB REQUIREMENTS]. Ask up to three questions only if required inputs are missing.

Write a resume for a freelance content writer applying to [TARGET ROLE]. Use [CLIENT PROJECTS], [PORTFOLIO LINKS], and [TOOLS AND SPECIALTIES]. Create a Freelance Content Writer entry with grouped bullets by content format or client type, then include selected projects with objective, deliverable, role, and verified result. Match terms from [JOB POSTING] naturally. Do not disclose confidential client information or invent traffic and conversion results. Check that each bullet makes my contribution clear. Ask up to three questions only if inputs are missing.

Write a two-page resume for a [TARGET SENIOR ROLE] from [WORK HISTORY], [LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE], [CONTENT RESULTS], and [JOB POSTING]. Emphasize editorial systems, briefs, governance, cross-functional planning, mentoring, and measurable outcomes only where documented. Separate individual writing output from team outcomes. Include a concise leadership summary and a selected-impact section. Do not imply people management, budget ownership, or strategy authority without evidence. Check each major requirement has supporting proof. Ask up to three questions only if required.
