Aligns your resume to a specific job, honestly, and shows the gaps.
The prompt
Tailor my resume to a specific job — honestly.
Job description: [PASTE]
My current resume: [PASTE]
1. Extract the 10–15 most important requirements, skills, and keywords from the job description, ranked.
2. Map each to evidence in my resume: strong match / partial match / gap.
3. Rewrite my summary, skills section, and the most relevant experience bullets to emphasize the matches, using the employer's language where it truthfully describes my experience. Use "Action + what + result" bullets.
4. For gaps: suggest how to address them honestly (transferable experience, a cover letter line, or a quick way to build the skill).
5. Check that it stays ATS-friendly.
Never add skills, tools, or results I don't have. Mark anything that needs a real number from me as [ADD METRIC].
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
