I'm applying for this role. Analyze the job description below and extract:

1. **Must-have skills** — list every hard skill and tool mentioned
2. **Nice-to-have skills** — anything listed as preferred or bonus
3. **Key responsibilities** — the top 5 things this role actually does day-to-day
4. **Power keywords** — exact phrases I should mirror in my resume (e.g. "cross-functional collaboration", "data-driven decisions")
5. **ATS keywords** — technical terms and certifications an applicant tracking system would scan for
6. **Culture signals** — what the tone and language suggest about company values

Rewrite Your Experience Bullets

Turn vague duty-based bullet points into achievement-driven statements with measurable impact, tailored to the target role.

ChatGPT

Claude

Rewrite my resume bullet points to be achievement-focused and tailored to this target role. For each bullet:

1. Start with a strong action verb (Led, Built, Reduced, Grew, Launched — not "Responsible for")
2. Add a measurable result (%, $, time saved, team size, scale). If I didn't provide a number, suggest a realistic placeholder like [X%] that I can fill in.
3. Mirror keywords from the job description where honest and relevant
4. Keep each bullet to 1-2 lines max

Target role keywords: [PASTE YOUR KEYWORD LIST FROM STEP 1]

My current bullet points:
---
Job 1: [TITLE] at [COMPANY] ([DATES])
- [bullet 1]
- [bullet 2]
- [bullet 3]

Job 2: [TITLE] at [COMPANY] ([DATES])
- [bullet 1]
- [bullet 2]
---

For each rewritten bullet, briefly explain what you changed and why. Flag any bullet where you had to make assumptions so I can verify accuracy.

Craft Your Professional Summary

Write a 3-4 sentence professional summary that positions you for the role, front-loading your strongest qualifications.

ChatGPT

Claude

Jasper

Write a professional summary for the top of my resume. Requirements:

- 3-4 sentences, no more than 60 words total
- First sentence: [X] years of experience + core domain + biggest differentiator
- Second sentence: 2-3 most relevant skills/tools from the job posting, proven with a brief result
- Third sentence: What I bring to THIS specific role (connect my background to their needs)
- Tone: Confident and specific, not generic. No buzzwords like "passionate" or "results-oriented" without proof.

Target role: [JOB TITLE] at [COMPANY]
Key requirements from the posting: [PASTE TOP 5 KEYWORDS]
My background: [2-3 SENTENCES ABOUT YOUR CAREER]
My strongest achievement relevant to this role: [ONE SENTENCE]

Generate 3 versions:
1. Formal/corporate tone
2. Confident/direct tone
3. Technical/skills-forward tone

For each version, highlight which job posting keywords you incorporated.

Optimize for ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems)

Make sure your resume passes automated screening by checking keyword density, formatting compatibility, and section structure.

ChatGPT

Claude

Act as an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) scanner. Analyze my resume against the target job description and provide:

1. **Keyword Match Score**: List every important keyword from the job description and mark whether it appears in my resume (Found / Missing). Calculate the match percentage.
2. **Missing Keywords**: For each missing keyword, suggest exactly where in my resume to add it naturally (which section, which bullet).
3. **Formatting Red Flags**: Check for these common ATS failures:
   - Tables, columns, or text boxes (break parsing)
   - Headers/footers (often ignored by ATS)
   - Graphics, icons, or images (invisible to ATS)
   - Fancy bullet characters (use standard dots)
   - Non-standard section headings (use: Experience, Education, Skills, Certifications)
4. **Skills Section Audit**: Suggest a dedicated Skills section with keywords grouped by category (Technical Skills, Tools, Methodologies, etc.)
5. **File Format**: Recommend .docx or .pdf based on the application platform.

Final Polish: Tone, Grammar, and Consistency

Run a final pass to catch grammar errors, tense inconsistencies, and tone mismatches before submitting.

Grammarly

ChatGPT

Claude

Proofread and polish my resume with these specific checks:

1. **Tense consistency**: Current job should use present tense ("Lead", "Manage"). All past jobs must use past tense ("Led", "Managed"). Flag any violations.
2. **Parallelism**: All bullets in a section should start with the same part of speech (action verbs). Flag any that break the pattern.
3. **Redundancy**: Identify any repeated phrases, skills mentioned in multiple places unnecessarily, or bullets that say the same thing differently.
4. **Weak language**: Replace any instance of "Helped", "Assisted", "Worked on", "Responsible for", "Participated in" with stronger alternatives.
5. **Length check**: Flag any bullet longer than 2 lines. Suggest a tighter version.
6. **Spelling and grammar**: Catch typos, especially in company names and technical terms.
7. **Consistency**: Check date formats (all the same?), bullet styles, spacing, capitalization of job titles.
8. **Tone match**: Does the overall tone match the target company's culture? (Startup = more dynamic verbs. Enterprise = more structured language.)

My resume:

Target company culture: [STARTUP / ENTERPRISE / AGENCY / NON-PROFIT]

Return the corrected resume with all changes tracked using **bold** for additions and ~~strikethrough~~ for deletions. Then list all changes in a summary table.
