Create a targeted, ATS-readable resume for the role below using only the facts I provide. Do not invent employers, dates, credentials, tools, titles, metrics, or responsibilities. Target role: [JOB POSTING] My work history and achievements: [WORK HISTORY] My education, certifications, and technical skills: [EDUCATION AND SKILLS] My current resume, if I have one: [CURRENT RESUME] Practical constraints: [CONSTRAINTS] First, identify the 6-10 most important requirements in the job posting. Map each requirement to evidence in my background. If evidence is absent, do not imply I have it; put it in a short "Gaps to address" note after the resume. Then write a one- or two-page resume in this order: 1. Name and contact placeholders. 2. A 2-3 line professional summary tied to the target role, with no empty traits such as "hard-working" or "results-driven." 3. Core skills, grouped logically and limited to skills supported by my background or the posting. 4. Experience in reverse chronological order. For each role, write 3-5 bullets using action, scope, method, and outcome where evidence supports it. Lead with the most relevant bullets, preserve accurate job titles, and use past tense for former roles. 5. Education and relevant certifications. Use standard section names, simple text, consistent dates, and no tables, columns, graphics, rating bars, or keyword stuffing. Keep bullets to one or two lines where possible. Before answering, check that every number and claim is supported by my input, and check that the top job requirements appear naturally in the summary, skills, or bullets. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing; otherwise produce the resume and the gaps note.

Variations
Career change
Use this when your previous titles do not closely match the role you want.
Write a career-change resume for [TARGET ROLE] using only my verified background: [EXPERIENCE]. Identify transferable evidence for the job's core requirements without relabeling my past jobs or overstating expertise. Produce a one-page ATS-friendly resume, followed by a brief skills-gap list and two truthful ways I could address each gap. Include [EDUCATION AND TRAINING]. Before answering, flag any claim that lacks support and remove keywords that are not tied to evidence.
New graduate
Use this when internships, coursework, and projects are more relevant than full-time work.
Create a one-page entry-level resume for [TARGET JOB] from my [EDUCATION], [INTERNSHIPS AND PROJECTS], and [SKILLS]. Prioritize relevant coursework, class projects, campus leadership, and internships over unrelated jobs, but keep all titles and outcomes accurate. Write 3-4 accomplishment bullets for each relevant experience. Use simple ATS-safe formatting. Before answering, confirm that every listed tool, grade, award, and metric appears in my notes; flag missing requirements rather than inventing experience.
Executive resume
Use this when applying for director, VP, or C-suite roles.
Draft a two-page executive resume for [TARGET ROLE] using [LEADERSHIP HISTORY], [BUSINESS RESULTS], and [BOARD OR INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE]. Lead with a concise leadership profile and selected outcomes that show scale, strategy, operating ownership, and team leadership. Preserve factual titles, dates, and numbers. For each role, emphasize decisions, scope, and measurable business effect rather than duty lists. Before answering, check that no confidential figures are exposed and that every strategic claim is supported by my notes.
Tips
- Build a master fact sheet before tailoring resumes: title, dates, team size, budget, systems used, and outcomes for each role.
- Translate a duty into an accomplishment only when you can name the scope or result; otherwise keep it as a precise responsibility.
- Match the posting's terminology only where it accurately describes your work, such as "forecasting" rather than adding it because it appears in the ad.
- Save a clean source resume and create a separate version for each target role so tailoring does not corrupt your employment record.
FAQ
Can AI write my resume from a LinkedIn profile?
Yes, but verify every date, title, and accomplishment. LinkedIn profiles often omit scope and can contain outdated wording.
Should I include every keyword from the job description?
No. Include relevant terms only when your experience supports them; unsupported keywords create interview risk.
Will a two-column AI resume pass ATS screening?
Many systems can parse it, but a simple single-column layout is the safer choice for broad compatibility.
