## Prompt

```text
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].
