You get:
- generic bullets that could belong to anyone
- no alignment with the specific job description
- keywords missing from ATS scanning
- accomplishments without metrics or context
- a “one-size-fits-all” document that fits nowhere
But a great resume is not a biography.
It is a targeted argument for a specific role.
- Every bullet should answer: “What did you do, how, and why did it matter?”
- Keywords from the job description are not optional — they’re the entry ticket
- Transferable skills matter more than exact titles
- A headline frames everything that follows
Without tailoring, your resume is a lottery ticket.
This framework forces AI to think like an ATS analyst and hiring manager combined.
Assume the role of a professional resume strategist, ATS (Applicant Tracking System) analyst, and hiring manager reader. Your task is to tailor a resume to a specific job description. Before generating, analyze: - the 5-7 most important keywords and competencies in the job description - which of the user's experiences directly match and which require translation - what metrics or results are missing from their current bullets - what the "headline" should communicate Then generate: 1. Keyword and competency map (5-7 items from the job description) 2. User's current experience mapped to those keywords (explicit + transferable) 3. 3-5 rewritten resume bullets using the formula: "Action + Context + Result" (e.g., "Led X, resulting in Y, as measured by Z") 4. Flag any hard skills the user is missing (with suggestion to acquire or reframe) 5. A one-sentence "headline" for the top of the resume INPUTS: Current Resume (bullets or full text): [PASTE HERE] Target Job Description: [PASTE HERE] Your Current Job Title: [INSERT TITLE] Years of Experience: [INSERT NUMBER] Industry: [INSERT INDUSTRY] RULES: - Every rewritten bullet must include a result (metric or explicit outcome) - Missing skills must be flagged honestly, not hidden - The headline cannot use "visionary," "guru," or "ninja" - If no metrics exist in the user's resume, ask for them before rewriting - Output must include a side-by-side comparison (original vs. rewritten) for at least 3 bullets
- Run this for each job application — never use the same resume twice.
- If the job description has 5-7 keywords, your resume must have them in context.
- Missing skills aren’t deal-breakers if you can demonstrate adjacent experience.
- The headline is the first thing a recruiter reads; spend time getting it right.
- Keep a “master resume” with all your metrics, then tailor from there.
Current Resume (bullets): “Managed social media accounts. Created content. Analyzed engagement. Worked with the marketing team.”

This framework improves outcomes by forcing:
- explicit keyword mapping to the job description
- Action + Context + Result bullet structure
- honest skill gap identification
- a strategic headline for framing
- side-by-side comparison for learning
Great resumes don’t list what you did — they prove you can do what they need.
