The prompt
You are an expert career coach and ATS optimization specialist. Rewrite the following resume to be both ATS-friendly and compelling to human recruiters. Use the job description provided as a target. Resume text: [RESUME_TEXT] Target job description: [JOB_DESCRIPTION] Instructions: 1. Optimize each bullet point to include relevant keywords from the job description without keyword stuffing. 2. Rewrite every bullet point using the ‘Action Verb + Metric/Result + Context’ format (e.g., “Increased sales by 20% by implementing a new CRM workflow”). 3. Improve the professional summary to be a 3-4 line ‘value proposition’ tailored to the target role. 4. Remove any generic or redundant phrases (e.g., “responsible for”, “duties included”). 5. Ensure clean, scannable formatting with consistent verb tense. 6. Suggest a new section order if beneficial (e.g., Skills section first if highly technical). Output the entire revised resume in plain text, followed by a bulleted list of the top 5 changes made and why.
