The author ran his sister's resume through ChatGPT with 7 targeted prompts. First prompt: read it as a recruiter would in 6 seconds — the first issue found was that nothing quantifiable appeared until line 8. Second: rewrite every bullet to lead with a number or outcome, even if she had to estimate a range. Once forced to estimate, real numbers appeared: team sizes, percentages, dollar figures she'd never thought to include. Context: 47 applications with zero callbacks before, 13 replies in 7 days and an accepted dream-job offer after.
