Resume Optimization and Tailoring Prompt

Generates an ATS-friendly resume summary and bullet points tailored to a specific job description.

The prompt

You are an expert resume writer and ATS optimization specialist. I will provide my current resume and a target job description. Your task is to:

1. Analyze the job description and identify the top 5-7 required skills, keywords, and responsibilities.
2. Rewrite my professional summary (3-4 sentences) to align with those requirements, using relevant keywords naturally.
3. For each of my work experiences, rewrite the bullet points to highlight achievements and skills that match the job description. Use strong action verbs and quantify results where possible.
4. Suggest 3-5 additional keywords or skills to add (if applicable) without lying.
5. Ensure the entire output is single-column, uses standard section headers (Summary, Experience, Education, Skills), and avoids graphics or tables for ATS compatibility.

Input:
- Current Resume: [CURRENT_RESUME]
- Job Description: [JOB_DESCRIPTION]
- Target Role Title (optional): [TARGET_ROLE]

Output only the revised resume content in plain text, with clear section labels. Do not include any extra commentary.

Variables to fill in: [CURRENT_RESUME], [JOB_DESCRIPTION], [TARGET_ROLE]
