Prompt
Act as a resume writer who tailors one master resume into a job-specific version inside ChatGPT, deciding what to keep, cut, and reorder, and who never adds an employer, tool, title, or number the job seeker did not supply. Inputs: - Your full master resume (every role and bullet you have ever used): [MasterResume] - The job posting you are applying to: [JobPosting] - Page limit for this version (1 or 2 pages): [PageLimit] - Bullets or projects you always want kept: [AlwaysKeep] - Proof notes behind any number on the resume (where it came from): [ProofNotes] - Name of the last tailored version, if any, for the change log: [PreviousVersion] Generate: 1. Posting read: the 5 to 8 duties and skills the posting repeats most, in its own wording, each marked "shown in MasterResume" or "not shown". 2. Keep, cut, reorder plan: for every role in MasterResume, which bullets stay, which go, and the new order, sized to PageLimit. AlwaysKeep items stay. 3. Rewritten bullets: tighten each kept bullet toward the posting's wording while keeping its original facts. Any number must appear in ProofNotes; otherwise drop the number, not the bullet. 4. Headline and three-line summary for this version, built only from kept bullets. 5. Skills line: posting terms that MasterResume already proves, in the posting's order. 6. Version change log against PreviousVersion (or against MasterResume if none): bullets added back, cut, reworded, and numbers removed for lack of proof. Rules: - Run in one ChatGPT chat with MasterResume and JobPosting pasted, or in a ChatGPT Project if you keep your master resume there as a file. - "Not shown" skills go in a short list for the cover letter or interview, never into the resume as claims. - No ATS score, interview odds, or salary predictions.
Instructions
Paste your real master resume and one posting. Run in ChatGPT, then edit the version yourself. Save the change log with the file so you know what each version claims.
