Interview Me Before You Write a Single Line
You are staring at an empty page and want the AI to pull the material out of you before it drafts anything
You are helping me build the first draft of my resume. Do not write any resume content yet.

120 prompts for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot — filed by what you are trying to do, your career stage, your job role, your industry, and the assistant you use. Copy one, run it, then bring the output back and turn it into an interview-ready PDF.
Every prompt refines, none of them invent. Each one works from material you supply and ends with the same rules: no invented employers, titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills or metrics, and a placeholder like [X%] wherever a number is missing rather than a guess. That is the same commitment we hold our own AI to.

Turn a Brain Dump Into Resume Sections
You have 20 minutes of messy notes about your career and need them shaped into resume sections
Below is an unstructured brain dump about my career. It is out of order, it repeats itself, and it mixes big things with small ones.
Convert Your LinkedIn Profile Into a Resume
Your LinkedIn profile is current but you have no resume file to send
I am converting my LinkedIn profile into a resume. LinkedIn writing is first person and promotional. A resume is neither.
Build Experience Bullets From a Performance Review
You have a performance review or self-assessment and it is the best surviving record of what you actually did
I am building the Experience entry for one job out of my own performance review. A review is written for my manager, who already knows the context. A resume is written for a stranger who does not.
Write a Resume From ScratchStudent and New Graduate
First Resume From Coursework and Part-Time Work
You are applying for your first internship or graduate role and your material is coursework, projects and part-time jobs
I am a student with no full-time professional experience. Build my first resume from the material below, and only from that material.
Write a Resume From ScratchReturning to Work
Rebuild a Resume After Time Away
You are coming back after a career break and need a first draft that handles the gap without hiding it
I am returning to work after a break and rebuilding my resume from nothing. I want it to lead with capability rather than apologize for chronology.
Use an Old Job Description as a Memory Jog
You cannot remember the detail of an older role but you still have the job description you worked under
I am rebuilding the Experience entry for one role using the job description I worked under. That document says what the job was meant to be. Only I know what the job turned out to be.
Turn Duties Into Results
Your bullets read like the job description you were handed rather than what changed because you were there
You are helping me rewrite resume bullets for one role.
Verb and Specificity Pass
Your bullets are accurate but vague — the verbs are generic and a stranger cannot picture the work
Act as a line editor for my resume. Here are my bullets:
Find the Weakest Bullet
You have one line too many and need to know which bullet is carrying the least weight
You are reviewing my resume bullets before I cut one. Here is everything under [ROLE / COMPANY]:
Compress a 4-Line Bullet
One bullet has grown into a paragraph and is eating the space 3 other lines need
I have a resume bullet that runs far too long. Here it is:
Strip the Cliches
Your resume sounds like every other resume — results-driven, team player, passionate about
You are an editor with no tolerance for filler. Here is my resume text:
Fix Tense and Parallel Structure
You have edited the same resume for years and the lines no longer match each other in tense, shape, or punctuation
Proofread my resume bullets for internal consistency. Here they are, grouped by role:
Rewrite for a Non-Specialist Reader
The first person to read your resume works outside your discipline and your bullets are full of internal names and acronyms
Read the following bullets as someone who does not work in my field.
Mark Where a Number Belongs
When your bullets describe real work but read flat and you cannot tell which lines are missing a number
Here are resume bullets I wrote about work I actually did:
Interview Yourself for Real Figures
When you know the work mattered but cannot recall a single figure to prove it
Act as an interviewer helping me recall numbers I already know but have never written down.
Frame the Number You Already Have
When you have one solid number and want the strongest honest way to say it
I have one real figure and I want the strongest honest way to state it.
State Scope When There Is No Metric
When the work had no measurable outcome but did have a real size — a team, a budget, a queue, a caseload
Some of my work produced no outcome metric, but it had real scope. Help me state the scope accurately instead of reaching for a result.
Audit Every Number in Your Resume
Before you send a resume carrying numbers you have not checked in a while
Audit the numbers in my resume for honesty before I send it. Here it is:
Count the Work Nobody Measured
When your field counts patients, students, cases, or tickets rather than revenue
My field measures care and service rather than dollars, but I did track things. Turn what I tracked into countable resume lines.
Before and After, With Both Numbers
When you moved something from one number to another and can cite both
Write a before-and-after bullet from 2 figures I can source.
Summary Built Only From Your Resume
Your resume is finished and the block at the top of the page is still blank
You are helping me write the summary block at the top of my resume. My full resume is below.
Headline and Title Line Options
You need the single line under your name that tells a recruiter what you are
I need the headline that sits directly under my name on my resume. One line, not a sentence.
Summary Aimed at One Posting
You found the one job you actually want and the generic summary at the top no longer fits it
I am rewriting my resume summary for one specific job. Both pieces are below.
Executive Profile Paragraph
You are applying at a level where the reader wants scope and outcomes in the first 4 lines
Write the profile paragraph at the top of an executive resume. My material is below.
Career Change Summary From Real Evidence
You are moving fields and the top of your resume has to explain the jump before anyone reads further
I am changing fields and I need a summary that does not read as a stretch.
Summary When You Have Little History
You have coursework, projects, or a first internship rather than years of jobs
I do not have much work history yet and I need a summary that is honest and still worth reading.
Cut My Summary in Half
Your summary runs 5 or 6 lines and is eating space your experience needs
Below is the summary at the top of my resume. It is too long.
Honest Gap Analysis Against One Posting
Before you decide whether a posting is worth applying to, or what your cover letter has to account for
You are reviewing my resume against one job posting. Do not rewrite anything yet.
Reorder Sections and Bullets for This Posting
When your resume already holds the right evidence but the best of it sits on the second page
Act as an editor with one instruction: reorder, do not rewrite.
Rewrite Your Summary for One Posting
When the same summary is going to every posting and it reads like it belongs to nobody in particular
Write 3 versions of a professional summary for this application, using only the material below.
Match the Posting's Language to Work You Did
When you and the posting are describing the same work in two different vocabularies
The posting below and my bullets below describe overlapping work in different words. Build the mapping before anything is rewritten.
Decide What to Cut for This Application
When tailoring has pushed your resume onto an extra page and something has to leave
I need this resume down to [1 OR 2] pages for the posting below. Help me choose what goes.
Tailor a Resume for an Internal Transfer
When you are applying to another team at your current employer and the reader already knows part of your work
I am applying for a move to another team at my current employer. The reader knows the company, may know some of my work, and does not need the context an outside reader would.
Choose Which Role Leads Your Resume
When your most recent job is not the one that matches the posting
More than one of my roles could carry this resume, and I want the ordering argued rather than guessed.
Pull the Real Keywords Out of a Job Posting
You have found a posting worth applying to and want to know what it actually asks for before you open your resume
You are a hiring analyst. Below is a job posting I am applying to.
Term-by-Term Match Report
You have a posting and a finished resume, and you want an honest line-by-line account of what matches
Compare these two documents term by term.
Rewrite a Section in the Posting's Words
Your experience fits the job but your resume describes it in different words than the posting uses
Below is one section of my resume, exactly as I wrote it, and the posting I am targeting.
Build a Keyword Bank From the Postings You Saved
You are applying to several similar roles and want one base resume that speaks the language all of them share
Here are the postings I have saved for the kind of role I am chasing, plus my current resume.
Hard Requirements Checklist, Answered Honestly
You are about to spend an hour tailoring and want to know first whether a hard requirement rules you out
Pull every hard requirement out of this posting and build me a checklist.
Keyword Stuffing Check
You have finished a heavy tailoring pass and the resume has started to read like a word list
Here is a resume I have already tailored to a posting. Tell me whether I overdid it.
Plain-Text Parsing Check
You are about to upload to an application portal and want to see the resume the parser sees
My resume goes into an applicant tracking system before a person sees it. Below is the plain text I get when I select all and copy from my resume file — roughly what the software receives.
Cover Letter From Your Resume and the Posting
You have a resume and a specific posting and need a full one-page letter that draws only on what your resume already says
You are helping me write a cover letter for a specific role. Here is my resume:
150-Word Cover Note
The application has a small text box, an email body, or a note field instead of a full letter upload
I need a short cover note, not a full letter. Here is my resume material:
The "Why This Company" Paragraph
Your letter is solid on your experience and generic on the employer, and you want the company paragraph to be specific
I researched this company myself. Here are my raw notes — everything below is something I actually read, used, or noticed:
Career-Change Cover Letter
You are moving into a different field or function and the letter has to carry the explanation your resume cannot
I am changing fields. Here is my resume:
Cover Letter With a Referral
Someone inside the company suggested you apply and the letter should use that without leaning on it
Someone referred me to this role. Details:
Follow-Up Note After You Applied
It has been a week or two since you applied and you want to send one note that adds something rather than nudging
I applied and want to follow up once. Details:
Make This Letter Sound Like Me
You have a competent draft that reads like every other cover letter and you want your own voice back in it
Here are 200 or more words I actually wrote, so you can hear how I sound:
Translate Your Accomplishments Into the Target Field's Language
Your accomplishments are real but they are described in the vocabulary of the field you are leaving
You are a hiring manager in [TARGET FIELD]. I am moving into it from [CURRENT FIELD].
Audit Your Real Experience for Transferable Evidence
Before you rewrite anything, to find out which parts of your history actually support the move
Act as a career coach helping me move from [CURRENT FIELD] to [TARGET ROLE]. Work in 2 phases.
Choose Between Chronological, Functional and Combination
Your recent titles do not match the target role and a straight chronological list buries the relevant work
I am changing careers from [CURRENT FIELD] to [TARGET FIELD] and I cannot decide how to structure my resume.
Decide What to Cut From Your Old Career
Your resume runs long because most of the page is still written for the field you are leaving
You are editing my resume down for a move into [TARGET ROLE]. The problem is length: most of the page is [CURRENT FIELD] detail that a [TARGET FIELD] reader will not use.
Write a Summary That Explains the Pivot
The top of your resume has to answer "why is this person applying" before the reader reaches your job titles
Write the professional summary for a resume that has to explain a career change.
Build an Honest Gap List for the Target Role
You want to know exactly where you fall short of the target role and what would genuinely close each gap
Compare what I have actually done against what this role asks for, and be blunt about the difference.
Rewrite Jargon-Heavy Bullets for an Outside Reader
Your best work is written in acronyms and internal system names that mean nothing outside your industry
These bullets make sense to anyone inside [CURRENT INDUSTRY] and to nobody outside it. My reader is a [TARGET FIELD] hiring manager with no background in my field.
Turn Your Gap Into One Honest Resume Line
You have a gap of 6 months or more and want one factual line for it instead of an unexplained jump in dates
You are helping me write a single resume entry for a gap in my work history. The dates are [START MONTH YEAR] to [END MONTH YEAR]. Here is everything I actually did during that time, in my own words: [PASTE YOUR NOTES].
Decide Whether Your Gap Needs Explaining
Before you write anything about a gap, to check whether it is even visible to a reader
Act as a resume reviewer. Below is my full employment history with exact months, then the posting I am applying to.
Write the Caregiving Break Entry
You stepped back from paid work to care for someone and want a line that is honest without being personal
I took time away from paid work to care for a [CHILD / PARENT / PARTNER / FAMILY MEMBER] from [START DATE] to [END DATE]. Here is what that involved, plus anything else I kept doing during it: [PASTE YOUR NOTES].
Get the Layoff or Firing Wording Right
You left a job involuntarily and need one wording you can use consistently in a cover letter, on a screening call, and on an application form
I left [EMPLOYER] as [JOB TITLE] in [MONTH YEAR], and it was not my decision. Here is exactly what happened and the wording I was given: [PASTE WHAT YOU WERE TOLD, INCLUDING ANY LETTER].
Place the Course You Took During the Break
You studied or earned a certification while out of work and are not sure where it belongs on the page
During a break from work from [START DATE] to [END DATE] I did this study: [PASTE PROGRAM NAME, PROVIDER, DATES, AND WHAT YOU FINISHED]. Here is my current resume: [PASTE RESUME].
Rehearse the Gap Question Out Loud
Your resume line is settled and you need a spoken answer that matches it word for word
Here is the gap entry exactly as it appears on my resume: [PASTE THE LINE]. Here is what I actually did during that period: [PASTE YOUR NOTES]. Here is why it ended: [YOUR REASON].
Write the Summary for Your Return
You are applying for your first role after a long break and the top of your resume still reads like your old job
I am returning to work after [LENGTH] away. My resume from before the break: [PASTE RESUME]. What I did during the break: [PASTE NOTES]. The posting: [PASTE JOB POSTING].
Raise IC Bullets to Leadership Scope
Your resume still reads like the hands-on operator you were three promotions ago
You are an executive resume editor. Below are bullets from my resume, written when I was closer to the work, plus my notes on what I actually owned.
Write a 4-Line Executive Summary
The top of your resume needs to state your scope before anyone reaches the first role
Act as a search consultant who writes candidate profiles for director and above. I want a 4-line summary for the top of my resume.
Leadership Scope Table
A recruiter has to guess how big your job was because the numbers are buried in prose
You are formatting a scope block for the top of a director-level resume.
Condense a Role for a Board Audience
Your resume is going to a board, a search committee, or an investor and every line has to earn its place
You are preparing one resume entry for a board packet. Board members read fast and care about mandate, judgment, and result.
Decide What Leaves the Second Page
You have 20 years of scope and someone has asked for one page
You are cutting a senior resume from 2 pages to 1. Nothing gets reworded in this pass — you cut, and you compress old roles to a title line. Everything that survives keeps its exact words.
Position for a First CxO Seat
You are moving from VP or head-of to your first C-level title and the gap is in how you are read, not in what you have done
You are advising a candidate stepping from [CURRENT TITLE] to a first [TARGET CXO TITLE] role.
Claim the Result Without Taking the Credit
Your best outcomes were delivered by your team and you are unsure how much of it is yours to write down
Act as an editor who is careful about attribution. I lead a team. I need bullets that state real outcomes without claiming the work my people did.
Find What Is Actually Unusual About You
When your resume reads like everyone else's and you cannot tell what actually makes you different
You are helping me find the parts of my background that most other applicants for [TARGET ROLE] would not have.
The 100 Applicants Test
Before you send a resume you suspect is full of lines anyone could have written
Act as a hiring manager who has just read 100 resumes for [JOB TITLE].
Interview Me Until the Bullets Are Specific
When your job title is a common one and every version of your resume sounds interchangeable
I have a common job title — [JOB TITLE] at [TYPE OF COMPANY] — and my resume reads like every other one.
Put Your Strongest Evidence First
When your best work is buried on page 2 or hidden at the end of a long bullet
You are a recruiter who will spend 20 seconds on the top third of my resume before deciding whether to keep reading.
Turn Your Links Into Evidence
When you have work worth showing but your resume lists the links as bare URLs
Help me write a links section for my resume that a hiring manager for [TARGET ROLE] would actually click.
One Line That Says Who You Are
When you need a single line at the top of your resume that is not a generic summary
Write me 8 candidate versions of a one-line positioning statement for the top of my resume, aimed at [TARGET ROLE].
Find What Your Resume Leaves Out
After a draft is finished and you want to know what you left out rather than what to polish
Here is my finished resume and the role I am aiming at.
Hiring Manager Critique With a Ranked Issue List
You have a finished draft and want to know what a hiring manager would object to before you send it
Act as the hiring manager filling this role. You screen resumes for [SENIORITY LEVEL] [ROLE] positions at [COMPANY TYPE]. My resume is below, followed by the posting.
The 10-Second Scan Test
Before you submit, to check what a recruiter retains from one fast pass
I want to know what my resume communicates on a fast first pass, not on a careful read.
Consistency and Formatting Audit
After several rounds of editing, when small inconsistencies have crept in across sections
Audit my resume for internal inconsistency only — content quality is out of scope for this pass.
Flag Every Claim You Would Struggle to Defend
Before you submit or interview, when you want to know which lines you could not back up if someone pushed
Grade how defensible each line of my resume is if someone pushes on it. Here is the resume, then my rough notes on what I actually did.
The Questions Your Resume Invites
Once the application is in and you are preparing for the first screen
You are the hiring manager for the role below. You have 30 minutes with this candidate, and the only thing you know about them is this resume.
Length Check and Cut List
When the resume runs long and you need to decide what goes rather than shrink the font
My resume runs [CURRENT LENGTH] and I need it at [TARGET LENGTH] for a [TARGET ROLE] application. The posting follows the resume.
Plain Formatting Check Before You Submit
Before you upload to an application portal that reads your file as text rather than as a page
I am checking whether my resume still reads correctly as plain text, because the portal I upload to reads my file as text rather than as a page. Below is my resume copied straight out of the file, exactly as it pasted.
Turn a Stack List Into Evidence of Impact
Your bullets name technologies — Kubernetes, Kafka, React — and a reader still cannot tell what you built, how large it was, or what changed because you were on the team
I am a software engineer rewriting my resume. Below are my current experience bullets, my skills section, and 1 real artifact from a project I worked on.
Interview Me About the System I Own
You have owned a service for a year and your resume says "maintained backend services". The scale, the on-call load and the blast radius are all in your head, and none of it is on the page
I am a software engineer and I own a service that my resume describes in 1 flat line. Interview me until the scope of it is on paper.
Map a Posting to Evidence You Already Have
The posting names more technologies than you have shipped with. You need to know which ones you can back with real work, which to foreground, and which gaps to answer honestly rather than paper over
I am a software engineer applying for the role below. Line up what I have already built against what this team is asking for.
Find the Bullets Where the Team Shipped, Not You
Every bullet starts with "Led" or "Drove" and describes something a whole team built. A reader cannot tell which part of it was your judgment
I am a product manager. My resume describes launches my team shipped, which makes it hard to see what I personally decided. Audit it.
Separate Your Metric From the Team's Metric
Retention went up while you were on the team, and you cannot honestly claim you caused all of it. You want a bullet that states a real number and a share of it you can defend when someone pushes
I am a product manager and I want 1 bullet about the work below that states a number I can defend in an interview.
A Summary Line Only You Could Have Written
Your summary says "results-driven product manager with a passion for customer-centric solutions", which stays just as true if you swap in another product manager's name. You want 3 lines that could only describe you
I am a product manager and my summary reads like everyone else's. Replace it with something only I could have written.
Turn Tool Lists Into Decisions
Your bullets read like a stack list — SQL, Python, dbt, Tableau — and a hiring manager still cannot tell what anyone did differently because of your work
You are reviewing resume bullets written by a data analyst. Analyst resumes tend to fail the same way: they name the tools used and the artifact produced, and never say what a decision-maker did differently afterward. Move each bullet from tooling to consequence, using only the material I give you.
Find the Number in Your Analysis
You know the work mattered, but the only figures you can name are row counts and dashboard views — and those measure effort, not outcome
You are helping a data analyst find the measurable part of their work.
Read the Job Behind the Analytics Posting
Analyst postings tend to list the same tools, so stack overlap tells you little. You need to know whether this team wants a product analyst, a reporting owner, an analytics engineer or a risk modeler — and which of your work speaks to that
You are comparing a data analyst's resume against one job posting. Analytics postings tend to list the same tools, so stack overlap tells you little. Read for the job underneath the posting.
Case Study Into Resume Lines
Your resume repeats what the portfolio already shows — redesigned the onboarding flow, built a design system — so it adds nothing a hiring manager cannot see in the screenshots
You are converting a UX designer's portfolio case study into resume lines. The resume gets read beside the portfolio, so any line describing the visuals is wasted space. Resume lines have to carry what screenshots cannot: the research that set direction, the constraint you designed against, the tradeoff you argued for, and what shipped.
Summary for a Portfolio-First Read
A hiring manager opens your portfolio first and your resume second. By the time they reach the summary it has to say something the screenshots did not — and "passionate about user-centered design" does not
You are writing the summary block at the top of a UX designer's resume. It gets read after the portfolio, so it must not describe visual work. It has to answer 3 things: what kind of design problem this person handles, at what scope, and on what evidence.
What the Portfolio Cannot Show
Plenty of designers have a clean portfolio. The resume's real job is to carry what a portfolio structurally cannot: how you work with engineers, what you did when research contradicted the plan, and what happened after launch
You are auditing a UX designer's resume for the things a portfolio cannot demonstrate. A portfolio shows artifacts well and behavior poorly, so the resume is where behavior has to live. Find what is missing and tell me where the evidence would come from.
Separate what you drove from what the channel did
When a bullet credits you with a revenue or pipeline number that a whole channel, budget, or team produced, and you want a version you can defend in a screening call
You are helping me make the numbers on my marketing resume defensible in an interview.
Turn a campaign retro into resume bullets
Right after a promotion, seasonal push, or location launch wraps, while the retro is still open in front of you
I am turning a campaign retro into resume bullets. Do not write the campaign for me — work only from what I paste.
Say which marketing you actually do
When your summary could describe any marketer, and recruiters keep routing you to the wrong kind of marketing role
Help me write a resume summary that says which kind of marketing I do. Marketing Manager is one title covering demand generation, lifecycle, brand, product marketing, content, and events, and mine currently reads like none of them in particular.
Put your quota numbers on the page correctly
Before you send a sales resume anywhere, so every quota, attainment, and ranking figure on it is stated in a form you can back up with a document
Help me state my sales numbers in a form a sales hiring manager can read quickly and I can back up. Work only from the figures I paste — I will go pull anything missing rather than have you approximate it.
Make a below-plan year read honestly
When one year came in under plan for reasons that were real, and you would rather put that context on the page than leave a reader to guess at it
One of my attainment numbers looks weak on paper and the reason is context, not performance. Help me put that context on the page without it reading as an excuse.
Match your resume to the segment the job sells
When the posting sells at a different deal size, cycle, or motion than you do, and you need to know that before you rewrite anything
I am applying to a sales role that may not sell the way I sell. Read the posting first and tell me where I actually stand before rewriting anything.
Organize Your Skills SectionStudent and New GraduateEarly CareerMid Career
Nursing credentials block, exactly as held
When your license, certifications and charting systems are scattered through the resume and a nurse recruiter has to hunt for them
You are helping me organize the credentials section of my nursing resume. Work only from what I paste.
Turn nursing duties into unit-specific evidence
When your bullets read like the standard description for any floor nurse and give no sense of acuity, ratio or scope
You are rewriting the experience bullets on my nursing resume. Every fact must come from what I paste below.
Match a nursing requisition, gaps included
When you are applying to a different unit or specialty and need to know what your own record actually supports before you send it
You are comparing my nursing resume against one job posting. Use only what I paste.
Teaching summary that leads with your certification
When your summary opens with "passionate educator" and a principal still has to scroll to find out what you are certified to teach
Write the professional summary for my teaching resume. Use only what I paste.
Teaching outcomes beyond test scores
When your only number is a state test score, or you have no numbers at all and your bullets read like the standards you were handed
Help me find the real numbers in my teaching work. Ask first, write second.
Audit for bullets any teacher could write
Before you send a resume where most lines describe work every teacher holding your certificate is already required to do
Review my teaching resume the way a hiring principal would. Do not rewrite it yet.
Rewrite model bullets around the decision
Your bullets say you built models and ran variance analysis — the work, not what it changed. Use this when a reader could not tell from your resume what any of that analysis decided
You are reviewing resume bullets written by a financial analyst. Work only from what I paste. Do not add employers, systems, figures, or outcomes I have not given you.
Stress-test every figure on your resume
Any number on a finance resume can turn into "walk me through that" in the interview. Use this before you send the resume, and again the night before you interview
Act as a hiring manager for a financial analyst role who reads a resume with one habit: every number gets a follow-up question.
Turn your close checklist into bullets
You do the work every month and none of it reaches the page — the close, the reconciliations, the recurring reporting. Use this when you have a checklist but no bullets yet
I am a financial analyst building the experience section of my resume from my real work rather than from a job description.
Cut the methodology, keep what shipped
Your bullets read like a certification syllabus and a reader still cannot tell what you delivered. Use this to push the framework down to one mention and the delivery to the front
You are editing resume bullets written by a project manager. Work only from what I paste. Do not add budgets, dates, team sizes, or results I have not given you.
Pull scope and budget from your own project documents
You have a charter, status reports and a closeout deck, and none of it is on your resume. Use this to lift the real numbers out of your own documents instead of estimating them from memory
I am a project manager. I am going to paste project documents and I want the resume-relevant facts pulled out of them — not summarized, not embellished.
Map your delivery record to a public-sector posting
Government and nonprofit postings tend to describe procurement, grant reporting and compliance milestones in their own vocabulary. Use this when your delivery record is a match and your wording is not
You are helping a project manager tailor an existing resume to one public-sector or nonprofit posting. You may reorder, reword, and re-emphasize anything that is already in my resume or my notes. You may not add experience that is in neither.
Rewrite CSM Bullets Around the Book You Owned
Your customer success bullets read like account babysitting — managed a portfolio, built relationships, ensured satisfaction — and nothing on the page says how big the book was or what moved because you owned it
You are helping me rewrite the customer success section of my resume.
Audit Your Retention Numbers Line by Line
You have retention and expansion figures to put on the resume and you want to be certain each one is the metric you think it is, scoped to the book you actually held, and defensible when someone asks about it in the first call
You are auditing the retention numbers I want to put on a customer success resume. Never round in my favor, and never derive a rate I have not given you the inputs for.
Which Kind of CSM Job Is This
2 roles with the same Customer Success Manager title can be completely different jobs — one carries the renewal number, one runs onboarding, one covers a pooled queue with no named book. Run this before you tailor a single line
Read the job description and my resume below, and work out which kind of customer success job this is before you suggest a single edit.
Put the Population Back Into Your HR Bullets
Your HR bullets list functions — full-cycle recruiting, benefits administration, employee relations — without saying how many people, how many requisitions, or whether you designed the program or ran someone else's
You are rewriting the HR section of my resume. I work in HR, so I know how this reads to another HR reader: vague ownership is the thing I most need you to catch.
An HR Summary That Names Your Population
"Strategic business partner" describes nobody in particular. Your summary should name the disciplines you own end to end, the population you have run them for, and what kind of environment it was
Write the professional summary for my HR resume. If a claim is not supported by something I pasted, leave it out and tell me what you left out.
Screen Your Own HR Resume
You screen resumes for a living and you catch vague ownership and unbacked numbers in other people's. This runs the same screen against your own
Screen my resume the way an experienced HR screener would, and be blunt about it. Where something is missing, flag it rather than filling it in.

By AI assistant
- ChatGPT
The most common starting point for a resume draft, and the one most willing to pad a thin bullet if you do not tell it not to.
- Claude
Comfortable holding a full resume and a full job posting in one message, which is what makes a real comparison possible.
- Gemini
Useful when the posting is a link or a document rather than text you can paste.
- Microsoft Copilot
The one already signed in on a work laptop, which makes it the realistic option on a lunch break.

Questions about these prompts
What is the AI Resume Prompt Library?
A curated set of 120 prompts you copy into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Microsoft Copilot to work on your resume. They are filed by what you are trying to do, by career stage, by job role, by industry, and by which assistant you use. ResumeMD (resumemd.pro) publishes it free, with no signup.
Will these prompts write my resume for me?
No, and that is deliberate. Every prompt works from material you supply — your existing bullets, your notes, a job posting, a LinkedIn export. Each one ends with rules telling the assistant not to invent employers, titles, dates, degrees, certifications, skills or metrics, and to mark a missing number with a placeholder like [X%] instead of guessing one. A resume with an invented number on it fails at the interview, not at the screen.
Which AI assistant works best for resume writing?
All four handle the tasks in this library. What matters more than the choice is what you give it: a prompt with your real bullets and a real job posting produces better output on any of them than a vague request on the best one. Each assistant has its own page here with the differences worth knowing.
What do I do with the output?
A chat window returns text, which is not a resume. Paste it into the ResumeMD editor and pick one of 32 templates to get an interview-ready PDF. PDF export is free and unwatermarked, with no account needed. DOCX, HTML and TXT export come with Pro at $9 per month, $24 per quarter or $89 per year.
Are these prompts free?
Yes. Every prompt on this page is free to copy and use, with no account and no email required.
