InterviewCue AI | ChatGPT Resume Prompt Pack
Updated: 2026-10-14

Use: sanitize your notes, verify your fact sheet, start with the master instruction, then choose one task. Review the evidence before requesting final copy. Check the export before applying.

Placeholders: replace [TARGET ROLE] with your intended role; replace each [PASTE] with the requested source text. [NEEDS EVIDENCE] and [NEEDS CONFIRMATION] are review flags, not resume claims. Use anonymous stable labels for sensitive employers or projects. This pack contains no real personal data.

Master factual instruction
You are editing a resume for a [TARGET ROLE]. Use only facts found in the resume, career fact sheet, and job description I provide. Do not invent or infer employers, titles, dates, skills, tools, credentials, responsibilities, ownership, metrics, scale, or outcomes. Preserve the meaning of my experience. When evidence is missing, insert [NEEDS EVIDENCE] and ask a specific follow-up question. Keep the language concise, natural, and defensible in an interview. Before final copy, list any unsupported, ambiguous, or conflicting detail.

Prompt 1: Build a verified resume fact sheet
Organize the information below into a fact sheet with these sections: target roles, employers, titles, dates, responsibilities, projects, tools, skills, achievements, education, and credentials. Preserve facts and do not write resume copy yet. Mark missing or conflicting information as [NEEDS CONFIRMATION]. Then ask the five questions that would most improve the accuracy and usefulness of my resume. SOURCE NOTES: [PASTE]

Prompt 2: Write a concise resume summary
Using only my verified fact sheet, draft three resume-summary options for a [TARGET ROLE]. Each option must be no more than 55 words and contain: my professional identity, the most relevant scope or specialization, and one verified differentiator. Avoid first-person pronouns, “results-driven,” “passionate,” “dynamic,” “seasoned,” and unsupported adjectives. After each option, cite the fact-sheet lines that support it. FACT SHEET: [PASTE]

Prompt 3: Turn responsibilities into stronger bullets
Review these resume bullets for a [TARGET ROLE]. For each bullet, identify the action, technical object, constraint or method, and result. Do not invent missing elements. Ask one follow-up question for the most important missing element, then provide two concise rewrite options using only verified facts. Keep each option under 32 words and explain what changed. BULLETS AND CONTEXT: [PASTE]

Prompt 4: Find measurable evidence without inventing metrics
I do not have a confirmed metric for the experience below. Ask me up to seven questions that may uncover truthful evidence, such as baseline and after state, scale, frequency, time saved, incidents, latency, cost, adoption, defects, or an observable process change. Do not suggest a number. After I answer, draft one numeric bullet only if I provided a verified number; otherwise draft a non-numeric bullet with the strongest observable result. EXPERIENCE: [PASTE]

Prompt 5: Tailor a resume to a job description
Analyze the job description and list the five highest-priority outcomes, required skills, preferred skills, and repeated role language. Compare them with my resume in a table: Requirement, Resume evidence, Strength of evidence, Gap, Recommended edit. Do not add keywords to my resume yet. Flag any requirement I cannot support. Then recommend which existing summary line and five bullets should be reordered or revised. JOB DESCRIPTION: [PASTE] RESUME: [PASTE]

Prompt 6: Review ATS keywords truthfully
Extract the role-specific skills, tools, responsibilities, and standard terminology from this job description. For each item, label it Required, Preferred, or Context. Then show whether the exact term, a truthful equivalent, or no evidence appears in my resume. Recommend wording changes only when my existing experience supports them. Do not calculate a made-up ATS score and do not repeat a keyword unnaturally. JOB DESCRIPTION: [PASTE] RESUME: [PASTE]

Prompt 7: Audit the weakest resume bullet
Identify the weakest bullet in this resume for a [TARGET ROLE]. Explain the weakness using only these criteria: relevance, clarity, ownership, specificity, evidence, and readability. If the source material is insufficient for a truthful rewrite, ask one specific question. Otherwise provide two revisions and a compact change log. RESUME: [PASTE]

Prompt 8: Perform a ChatGPT resume review
Review this resume against the target job description. Do not rewrite it yet. Return findings under: Critical factual questions, Missing role evidence, Weak or vague claims, Inconsistent dates or formatting, Unsupported keywords, Repetition, and Top five edits by impact. Quote only the short phrase needed to locate each issue. Explain why each edit matters. JOB DESCRIPTION: [PASTE] RESUME: [PASTE]

Prompt 9: Reduce AI-sounding language
Edit the resume excerpt so it sounds concise, specific, and natural. Preserve every fact and technical term. Remove clichés, inflated adjectives, repetitive sentence patterns, excessive em dashes, generic claims, and unnecessary corporate language. Do not add new achievements or synonyms that change meaning. Return: Original phrase, Revised phrase, Reason. EXCERPT: [PASTE]

Prompt 10: Check for hallucinations and changed meaning
Compare the AI-edited resume with my verified source material line by line. Flag every added, removed, strengthened, or weakened claim. Pay special attention to numbers, scale, ownership verbs, technologies, dates, credentials, and outcomes. Classify each difference as Supported, Needs confirmation, Contradicted, or Style only. Do not correct the resume until I review the table. SOURCE MATERIAL: [PASTE] EDITED RESUME: [PASTE]

Prompt 11: Proofread without rewriting your voice
Proofread this resume for grammar, spelling, punctuation, tense, capitalization, parallel structure, and consistent dates. Do not change facts, technical meaning, voice, or section order. Return a list of proposed edits first. For each edit, show the original, the revision, and the rule. Wait for approval before returning a clean version. RESUME: [PASTE]

Prompt 12: Run a final pre-submission audit
Perform a final resume audit for a [TARGET ROLE]. Check: factual traceability, alignment with the job description, unsupported claims, clear ownership, consistent chronology, standard section headings, concise bullets, repeated words, spelling, and confidential information. Return only a pass/fail checklist with exact locations for failures. Do not rewrite anything. JOB DESCRIPTION: [PASTE] VERIFIED FACT SHEET: [PASTE] FINAL RESUME: [PASTE]
