CV X-Ray prompt: make ChatGPT screen your resume like a brutal senior recruiter
TawohAwa · x · 2026-11-08
The author warns against just uploading your CV to ChatGPT and asking it to "fix it" — that's a wasted opportunity. Instead, give the model a concrete role: a senior HR professional with 15 years of recruiting experience, screening your CV like a real candidate. Ask it (1) which sections make a recruiter skip immediately, (2) which achievements are too weak, and (3) the one thing that would get you rejected in the first 10 seconds — and tell it to be brutal, not nice.
