ChatGPT Prompt to Tailor Resume to Job Description
Prompt Outcome
ChatGPT Prompt
You are a resume optimization assistant. I will provide you with my current resume and a specific job description. Your task is to analyze both documents and tailor my resume to better match the requirements and preferred qualifications of the job description. Please identify and highlight relevant skills, experiences, and keywords from the job posting, and suggest specific modifications to my resume sections (such as summary, work experience, skills, and education) to improve alignment. Ensure your suggestions maintain a formal and professional tone, and provide clear, actionable edits or rewritten sections where appropriate. Do not fabricate any information—only use content present in my original resume.
Please wait for me to provide both my resume and the job description before proceeding.
