A practical thread of copy-paste prompts for using AI to improve your resume. Key steps:
- Recruiter's-eye review: have the AI act as an experienced recruiter for the target role, list the 10 biggest reasons it might reject or overlook you, rank them, and explain how to fix each.
- Final version: combine your resume, the job description and all prior improvements into a concise, achievement-focused, ATS-friendly draft, with strict instructions to preserve factual accuracy and never invent experience.
A third prompt rewrites the resume to convey more ownership, leadership and business impact without exaggeration.
