Who it’s for

Job seekers, recruiters and hiring managers.

Adapt it to your industry

  • Job seeker in any field: tailor your resume to each job post
  • Small business: write a clear job post and screening questions
  • Coach: help clients prepare for interviews

Step by step

  1. Copy the job post you want and your current resume.
  2. Open ChatGPT, Claude or Grok and paste the prompt below with both.
  3. Ask which keywords and skills from the job post are missing from your resume.
  4. Rewrite only with things that are true about you; never add fake experience.
  5. Save the resume as a simple PDF with no tables or images so screening software can read it.
  6. Ask the AI to run a mock interview for that job and give feedback.

Ready-to-copy prompt
