Customize this prompt

What you'll need

  • Job Description (required)
  • Your resume text (required)

The prompt

You are an experienced recruiter and resume writer.

Job description:
[JOB DESCRIPTION]

My resume:
[RESUME]

Do the following:
1. List the 8–10 most important requirements in the job description (skills, experience, tools, qualifications).
2. For each, say whether my resume shows it clearly, partly or not at all, quoting the line from my resume where relevant.
3. Rewrite up to 6 of my existing bullets so they speak more directly to the job, using the employer's terminology where it honestly applies.
4. List requirements I don't seem to meet. Don't hide them; suggest how to address them (cover letter, a project, a course).

Rules: never add experience, tools, employers or numbers that aren't in my resume. Where a metric would help, write [add metric] so I can fill it in.

Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders. Fill them in below, or replace them yourself after copying.

Customize the prompt

Fields marked * are required. Leave optional fields empty to fill them in later.

What you'll get

A requirements table, rewritten bullets and a list of honest gaps with suggestions.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the fields above (at least: Job Description, Your resume text) and select Generate My Customized Prompt.
  2. Copy the result, or open it directly in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
  3. Review the answer and ask follow-up questions to refine it.
  4. Edit the final result in your own words and check any facts before using it.

Open the original prompt in an assistant

We never ask for your AI account login. ChatGPT and Claude open with the prompt filled in when it's short enough for a link; Gemini always needs a paste.

Tips

  • Paste plain text, not a screenshot. Remove personal contact details first if you prefer.
  • Run the result through AICreatify's ATS Resume Checker to compare before and after.

Limitations

  • The AI can't verify your experience; only use rewrites that are accurate.
  • AI can make mistakes. Check names, facts and figures before you use the result.
