What is inside this guide

Each prompt in the resume drafting guide solves one common job, and each comes with a short tip on how to get a better result. The 10 prompts are:

Resume structure. Most recruiters spend seconds on the first screen. Put your best points first.
Bullets from duties. Never invent numbers. Add your real ones.
Professional summary. Keep the summary under 50 words.
Tailor to a job ad. Tailor for each application. It takes 10 minutes.
Skills section. Do not list skills you could not discuss.
Fix a weak resume. Ask a friend to read it for 20 seconds and tell you what stood out.
Career gap wording. A short, calm explanation works better than avoiding the topic.
First job or no experience. Projects and volunteering count as experience.
ATS-friendly check. Use simple formatting. Skip tables and graphics.
Proofread and polish. Past jobs in past tense, current job in present tense.

Three sample prompts from the guide

Here are three of the ten prompts, so you can see exactly what you get. Replace anything in [square brackets] with your own details.

1. Resume structure

I am applying for [job title] with [years] years of experience in [field]. Suggest the best resume structure and section order for me, and explain in one line why. Keep it to one page unless I need two.

2. Bullets from duties

Turn these job duties into achievement-style resume bullets: [paste duties]. Start each with a strong verb, say what I did, how, and the result. If a result is missing, ask me for the number instead of inventing one.

3. Professional summary

Write 3 options for a 3-line resume summary for a [job title] with [skills and experience]. Plain language, no cliches like 'hard-working team player'. Focus on what I can do for the employer.
