Fix the resume that's getting ignored in 15 minutes

Act as a senior recruiter screening candidates for this exact role. Read the job ad and my resume as if you had only 10 seconds before deciding whether to keep reading.

Give me only the 3 highest-impact issues. For each, use this format:
ISSUE: What weakens the application.
WHY IT MATTERS: Why it matters for this specific role.
FIX: The smallest truthful change that would improve it.

Prioritize relevance, clarity, evidence, and positioning. Do not rewrite the whole resume yet. Do not praise what is already fine. Do not invent or assume experience, skills, qualifications, numbers, or results.

JOB AD: [paste the job ad]
RESUME: [paste your resume]

Using the same job ad and resume already in this chat, map the employer's requirements against evidence that actually appears in my resume.

Return exactly three sections:
STRONG MATCHES — requirements my resume clearly proves.
WEAK MATCHES — relevant experience is present, but the evidence or wording is too weak.
REAL GAPS — requirements my resume does not currently prove.

For every WEAK MATCH or REAL GAP, add one line: WHAT WOULD STRENGTHEN IT.

Separate missing evidence from genuinely missing experience. Never tell me to add a keyword, skill, qualification, tool, responsibility, or achievement unless it is true. If something may be true but is not shown, ask me a concise question instead of guessing. Rank weak matches and gaps by importance to this role.

Using the resume, job ad, and gap analysis already in this chat, find the 3 to 5 bullets where stronger wording would most improve my fit for this role.

For each bullet, return:
BEFORE: the current bullet.
AFTER: a stronger version using only facts I have provided.
WHY IT'S BETTER: one short sentence.

Improve specificity, ownership, scope, outcome, and relevance where the evidence supports it. Do not inflate seniority. Do not turn duties into fake achievements. Do not invent numbers, tools, teams, budgets, outcomes, or responsibilities.

If a bullet could become materially stronger with one missing fact, do not guess. Ask me one concise follow-up question for that fact and wait for my answer before finalizing that bullet.

Review the latest resume version in this chat for fast recruiter reading. Make only edits that materially improve clarity or relevance.

Return exactly three sections:
KEEP — wording or structure that is already strong.
CHANGE — specific edits worth making, with the revised wording.
REMOVE OR REDUCE — content that is repetitive, vague, outdated, or distracting for this role.

Prioritize the top third of the resume, section order, concise bullets, repeated language, and whether the strongest evidence is easy to find. Preserve my natural tone. Do not add new facts. Do not rewrite clear wording just to make it sound different. If nothing meaningful needs changing in a section, say KEEP AS IS.

Review the latest resume in this chat against the same job ad for common ATS and screening risks.

Check only what you can genuinely assess from the resume provided:
1. Standard section headings and clear organization.
2. Role-specific terms from the job ad that my real experience supports but my resume does not use clearly.
3. Important requirements that are buried or hard to find.
4. Potential parsing problems such as tables, columns, text boxes, unusual symbols, headers, or footers — only if you can actually see the document layout.

Return two sections:
FIX NOW — only issues likely to materially affect matching, parsing, or recruiter discovery.
LEAVE ALONE — things that do not need changing.

Do not keyword-stuff. Do not recommend skills or qualifications I do not have. If you cannot assess visual formatting from what I provided, say 'LAYOUT NOT ASSESSABLE HERE' instead of guessing. Do not give a fake ATS score or claim you can guarantee an ATS pass.

Do one final decision-focused review of the latest resume against the same job ad. Stop editing for style once the resume is clear, truthful, and relevant.

Give one verdict only:
READY FOR FINAL CHECK
or
FIX

If the verdict is FIX, list no more than 3 remaining changes, ranked 1 to 3 by likely impact on this application. For each, tell me exactly what to change. Do not include minor wording preferences.

Then give a short FACT CHECK list covering only items I must verify myself before sending: names, contact details, dates, job titles, qualifications, numbers, links, spelling, and any factual claim that may have changed during editing.

End with: STOP EDITING WHEN THESE ARE DONE.

Do not invent information and do not certify that the resume will get an interview or pass an ATS.
