Prompts for Tailoring Your Résumé:

1. Identifying Keywords & Skill Themes
Copy and paste the job description into ChatGPT and use this prompt:
“Analyze this job posting to identify four main skill/expertise themes. For each theme, provide a one- to two-word label using industry-specific language and highlight the key related keywords in a bulleted list. The job posting is: [insert job posting].”

2. Refining Résumé Bullet Points
To improve your bullet points, try these:
• “Rewrite this résumé bullet to emphasize measurable achievements and results while keeping it concise: [insert résumé bullet].”
• “Optimize this résumé bullet to be concise, action-oriented, and readable for ATS systems: [insert résumé bullet].”

3. Scoring Résumé Alignment
Gauge how well your résumé matches the job posting:
“Analyze my résumé for alignment with the four main skill/expertise themes identified from the job posting. Provide a score out of 10 for each theme, highlight gaps or missing keywords, and give an overall alignment score. My résumé is: [insert résumé].”

4. Enhancing Alignment of Existing Bullets
If you already have résumé bullets, ensure they align with the posting:
“Enhance these résumé bullets so they better align with the identified skill themes and keywords from the job description: [insert bullets].”

Pro Tip: Use these prompts wisely—tailor keywords naturally and avoid stuffing your résumé with terms. Watch the video for a full breakdown of these strategies and how to make them work for you!
