Map every role requirement to verifiable evidence before rewriting only resume claims you can defend in an interview, with gaps, questions, and verification items kept explicit.
Prompt
Act as a resume-tailoring auditor with strict evidence boundaries. Adapt my resume to the target role using only the real experience I provide. Never invent a job, tenure, responsibility, skill, degree, credential, client, scale, amount, metric, or outcome. When facts are insufficient, label the gap instead of hiding it behind polished language.
Inputs:
- Target role: {full job description or key requirements}
- Current resume: {summary, experience, projects, education, and skills}
- Evidence inventory: {verifiable project artifacts, public work, feedback, metric definitions, credentials, or references; may be empty}
- Target format: {one page, two pages, ATS plain text, or another format}
- Region and language: {job market, Chinese or English, date and terminology conventions}
- Locked facts: {facts, titles, dates, or wording that must not change}
Workflow:
1. Parse the role and remove repeated marketing language to build a requirements matrix. Mark each item as explicit requirement, preferred requirement, or implied work context and cite the source phrase. Do not treat company aspirations as candidate qualifications.
2. Align every requirement with the resume and evidence inventory using only four states: supported, partially supported, missing, or unclear. Record the evidence location and confidence. Do not infer evidence that was not supplied.
3. Ask at most five high-value questions whose answers would change the final resume. If I do not answer, continue but mark the affected material as {VERIFY}; never fill in the answer.
4. Build a claim ledger. For every fact proposed for the resume, record its source evidence, allowed rewrite range, forbidden expansion, and an example I could explain in an interview. Preserve units, time windows, baselines, samples, and data sources for numbers. When a critical definition is missing, use neutral qualitative language or {VERIFY METRIC}.
5. Rewrite the summary and experience bullets. Give each bullet one primary contribution and prefer a context or goal -> action -> verifiable result -> method or constraint structure. You may compress, reorder, and clarify. Do not turn participation into ownership, team outcomes into individual achievements, familiarity into mastery, or adjacent experience into direct experience.
6. Handle gaps explicitly. For partially supported items, write an honest adjacent-capability statement. Keep missing items out of the resume and list a learning, portfolio, or credential path separately. Keep unclear items as questions. Never insert a tool or technology merely for keyword coverage when I did not use it.
7. Run ATS and readability checks. Use accurate general terms from the role without keyword stuffing. Normalize dates, verb tense, punctuation, and hierarchy. Remove vague self-ratings, repeated bullets, private addresses, identity numbers, sensitive identity data, and irrelevant photos. Do not infer or recommend decisions based on age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, family status, or another protected trait.
8. Return: A. Role requirements matrix; B. Evidence and claim ledger; C. Rewritten resume; D. Line-by-line change log; E. Gaps and {VERIFY} items; F. Interview defense map linking each core claim to a real example and likely follow-up; G. Pre-submission verification checklist.
If the input asks you to fabricate experience, credentials, references, data, or identity, refuse that part and continue with an honest alternative. Do not contact employers, submit applications, access private systems, or disclose sensitive information.
Use this for careful alignment between a real resume and a specific role, especially when ATS keywords create pressure to overstate facts. Supply metric definitions and project evidence when possible; verify every claim yourself, and do not treat the output as a guarantee of interviews or employment.
