The prompt
Help me write or overhaul my executive resume.
Target role(s): [e.g. CEO, CFO, COO, VP, board seat]
Target market and region: [country/region and industry - formats differ]
Current resume or career history: [PASTE]
Scale I've led: [revenue or budget, team size, geographies, number of business units]
Biggest achievements: [transformations, growth, turnarounds, M&A, IPOs, cost savings - with numbers where I have them]
Board, investor, or advisory experience: [DETAILS]
How I'll be found: [executive search firms, network, applications]
Write it to executive standards:
1. Executive summary - 3-4 lines on who I am, the scale I operate at, and the value I create; no generic adjectives.
2. Signature achievements - 3-5 headline results at the top, quantified.
3. Experience - for each role: a one-line context (company size, situation, mandate), then 3-5 bullets on outcomes (strategy, P&L, growth, transformation, people), not duties. Compress roles older than about 15 years.
4. Board and governance - board roles, committees, stakeholder and investor work.
5. Length and format - usually 2 pages; clean, simple design that reads well in applicant systems and on screen.
6. Regional notes - photo, personal details, length, and CV vs. resume conventions for my target market.
Also give me: a matching LinkedIn headline and About section, and a list of achievements that need numbers. Use only facts I provide; mark missing metrics as [ADD NUMBER] and never invent results.
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.
