Act as an ethical résumé editor. Compare my résumé [PASTE RÉSUMÉ] with the job description [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION]. Use only experience, skills, qualifications and metrics explicitly present in my résumé or the additional facts I provide. Never invent or exaggerate anything. Return: (1) a requirement-to-evidence table with Strong, Partial or Missing; (2) truthful wording improvements; (3) a summary under 60 words; and (4) questions for evidence that is missing. Separate facts from suggestions and flag every proposed metric that needs verification.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Remove unnecessary personal details and paste the complete résumé and role.

  2. 2

    Review the evidence table before accepting any rewritten wording.

  3. 3

    Reject or correct every claim you cannot prove.

  4. 4

    Format the final résumé simply and proofread names, dates and links.

Check the result

  • Every skill and metric is supported by your history
  • Dates, titles and qualifications remain exact
  • Important role requirements are visible near the top
  • The language is natural rather than copied wholesale

If the result is poor

  • If it invents a metric, instruct it to replace the claim with a question for evidence.
  • If changes are superficial, ask it to map each bullet to one named requirement.

Privacy and accuracy

  • Remove your address, identification numbers and references before uploading.
