The Problem This Solves

In today’s competitive job market, your resume isn’t just a list — it’s your career story.

And your story needs to do more than describe — it needs to convince.

It’s easy to say what you did. But far harder to:

  • Know what to highlight for a new direction
  • Connect past experience with future value
  • Speak with confidence, without overselling or inventing

This use case gives you a structure and AI-powered prompt system to help you:

  • Write faster, with expert-led guidance
  • Avoid fluff and empty buzzwords
  • Tell your story in a way that aligns with what employers want

Resume Building Blocks 

Before prompting AI, get your sections right. A modern resume typically includes:

  1. Header – Name, contact details, LinkedIn
  2. Professional Summary – 3–5 sentences that position you
  3. Work Experience – Each role with bullet points showing impact
  4. Skills – Relevant tools, methods, soft skills
  5. Education – Degrees, certifications, courses
  6. (Optional) – Languages, Projects, Volunteering, Awards

➡️ Tip: Use reverse-chronological format unless changing fields — then a hybrid format may work better.

Step-by-Step Resume Writing with Expert AI Prompts

1️⃣ Write a Professional Summary That Positions You Clearly

This is your 30-second pitch: what you do, what you bring, what you’re aiming for.

➡️ What makes it strong:

  • Current role/title and focus area
  • Top skills or strengths (don’t list — connect them)
  • Type of opportunity or challenge you’re seeking

You are a career coach. Your task is to help me write a confident, relevant, and clear summary paragraph.

Ask me these questions one at a time:
- What is your current role and how many years of experience do you have?
- What types of industries, teams, or projects have you worked on?
- What are your core strengths or approaches that make you effective?
- What kind of role, company, or impact are you aiming for next?

Then write a 3–5 sentence summary that captures my value and aligns with my next goal.

2️⃣ Turn Experience Into Impact — Not Just Duties

Most resume bullets are just descriptions. But recruiters want outcomes.

Follow this format: What you did → How you did it → What changed or improved

You are a career coach. I’ll give you a task or responsibility I had — help me turn it into 1–2 strong resume bullet points.

Ask me these questions one by one:
- What exactly did I do — what was my role and responsibility?
- What tools, techniques, or approaches did I use?
- What changed as a result of my work — even if it’s qualitative?

Then rewrite my input into a clear bullet point that reflects both action and impact.

💬 Example:

“I managed onboarding” →

“Led onboarding for 40+ hires, introducing a new knowledge base and cutting ramp-up time by 30%.”

3️⃣ Align Your Resume to the Job Description

Your resume should show how your skills match what the job requires

You are a resume strategist. I’ll give you my resume and a job description.

Your task is to:
- Carefully review both documents.
- Ask me 3–5 clarifying questions one by one, based on the job description. Wait for my response before asking the next.
- Then provide a skill comparison table of "My Existing Skills" vs "Suggested Additions from Job description" 
Important Note:
Do not invent or add skills I don’t have. Instead, help me recognize opportunities to reframe or highlight what’s already present in my experience — aligned to the job description.

4️⃣ Make Your Resume ATS-Friendly

Even great resumes can get blocked by applicant tracking systems (ATS) if they’re not structured or phrased correctly.

You are an ATS optimization expert.
I’ll give you a job description and my resume.

Please:
- Scan for missing keywords or mismatches
- Suggest 5 improvements to increase my ATS match rate
- Tell me if there’s anything in my formatting or structure that might block ATS parsing
- Ask 2–3 follow-up questions if needed, one at a time

5️⃣ Final Polish Before You Apply

Make sure youe resume sounds confident, credible, and targeted — not generic or overdone.

You are a hiring manager. I’ll give you a section of my resume.

Help me by:
- Suggesting 2–3 small edits to improve tone or clarity
- Highlighting any outdated terms, vague phrases, or missed keywords
- Giving one tip to make it more compelling for this specific job
