## Prompt

```text
Act as a senior recruiter hiring for [ROLE] at [TYPE OF COMPANY].

**My resume:** [PASTE]

Task:
1. The 6-second scan: what you notice first, and whether it makes you read on. Be honest.
2. Strengths: three things that work.
3. Problems: the five biggest weaknesses, most important first (clarity, relevance, evidence, length, formatting).
4. For each problem, show a specific rewrite of the affected line or section.
5. Score the resume from 1 to 10 for this role, and say what would make it a 9.

Rules: be direct and specific; base everything on the text I gave; don't invent facts when rewriting, use [ADD DETAIL] instead.
