Full prompt and why it works
Prompt
Rewrite the resume bullets below so they show what I achieved, not just what my job was. They are for a resume aimed at {{target_role}}, and a recruiter should see in each bullet what changed because of my work.

The job these bullets come from: {{role_context}}

My current bullets:
"""
{{bullets}}
"""

Facts, numbers and results I can back up (volumes, time saved, money, customers, team size, feedback):
"""
{{facts}}
"""

Task: Rewrite each bullet in this form: action verb, what I did, then the result or scale. Keep each one under 25 words, in the past tense for past jobs and the present tense for a current one. Each bullet should read as something I could explain in detail if an interviewer asked.

Example of the form only (the brackets stand for values I would supply):
Before: "Responsible for the weekly sales report."
After: "Rebuilt the weekly sales report in [tool], cutting preparation from [X] hours to [Y] and giving [N] regional managers figures by Monday morning."

Rules:
- Use only numbers and results from my facts above. Never estimate, round up or invent a figure.
- Where a number would help but I have not given one, write the bullet without it and add a question after it in brackets, such as [how many clients?].
- Not every result is a number. Scale (how many people or accounts), frequency, before and after, who used the work, and recognition also show impact. Use them when my facts include them.
- Do not upgrade my part: if I "helped" or "supported", do not write "led" or "owned".
- Start with a specific verb, and use no verb more than twice. Avoid "responsible for", "duties included", "helped to" and "various".
- No first person ("I", "my").

Output format:
1. A numbered list, each original bullet followed by its rewrite.
2. "Questions that would make these stronger": up to 6 questions about results I may know but did not write down.

If a bullet is too vague to rewrite without guessing what I did, keep it as it is and ask me what the work involved.

Variables

{{target_role}}
The kind of job you are applying for, for example "operations manager in logistics".
{{role_context}}
Your job title, team and what the role covered, in a line or two.
{{bullets}}
The bullets you want rewritten, as they are now.
{{facts}}
Numbers and results you could back up if asked, with where they come from if you know. Write "none" if you have none yet.

Why it works

  • An example. A before and after pair with bracketed values shows the shape of an achievement bullet without handing the model numbers it might copy.
  • What to avoid. Only figures you supplied may appear and verbs cannot be upgraded, so every bullet survives the interview question "how did you measure that?"
  • If unsure. A missing number becomes a bracketed question after the bullet, so you know exactly what to look up instead of finding a made-up figure.

How to use it

  1. Press Fill in variables and type your details into each blank. What you type stays in this browser.
  2. Copy the filled prompt into the AI tool you already use, such as ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, or open it in the Grader or the Prompt Tester here.
  3. Before you rely on it, try it on three or four real examples. The Prompt Tester runs them all at once and shows which ones go wrong.
