Rewrite your resume for one job posting—without inventing experience.

Top picks

Protocol

1. 1

   Gather inputs (3 min).

   Have three things in one note: the job posting (or the requirements section), your current resume, and 5–8 real wins with numbers you can stand behind. If a metric is a guess, label it as a guess or leave it out.

2. 2

   Paste the guardrails first.

   Start a new chat. Paste the prompt below before the posting or the resume. This keeps the model from “helping” by inventing tools, titles, or results.

   You are helping me tailor a resume for ONE job posting.
   
   Hard rules:
   - Use only facts I provide. Do not invent employers, titles, dates, tools, degrees, certifications, or metrics.
   - If a posting keyword has no matching fact, skip it or add a short “gap” note. Never paper over a gap.
   - Prefer short bullets: strong verb + what you did + result when I gave a result.
   - Mirror the posting’s language only when it matches my facts.
   - Keep it truthful and easy to scan. No first-person. No fluffy adjectives.
   - Output: (1) a targeted professional summary of 2–3 lines, (2) revised bullets grouped by role I provided, (3) a keyword checklist of posting terms you used vs. terms you skipped and why.
   
   Wait for my posting, resume, and wins. Confirm you understand the rules in one sentence, then stop.

3. 3

   Add posting + facts, then generate.

   Paste the posting, then your resume, then the wins list. After the model replies, send this command:

   Generate command

   Copy

   Now rewrite using only those facts. If you need a number I did not give, ask me instead of inventing it. Keep each role to the most relevant 4–6 bullets for this posting.

4. 4

   Tighten for ATS and humans.

   Ask for a plain-text pass: standard section headings, no tables, no columns, no icons. Then read every bullet out loud. If you cannot defend a phrase in an interview, cut it.

   Copy

   Make an ATS-safe plain-text version:
   - Standard headings: Summary, Experience, Skills, Education.
   - No tables, columns, text boxes, icons, or headers/footers.
   - Spell out tools and skills that already appear in my facts.
   - Keep dates and employer names exactly as I provided.
   - Flag any bullet that sounds stronger than the evidence I gave.

When not to

• Do not use this recipe to invent a work history. If you lack the underlying experience, do not apply with a fabricated resume.
• Do not paste confidential employer documents, unreleased metrics, or other people’s personal data into a public chat.
• Do not treat keyword stuffing as a strategy. A posting match that you cannot discuss in an interview will hurt you.
• Skip this recipe if you need a first resume from a blank page and have no notes yet. Gather facts first.
