Whether you’re an AI pro, an “AI dabbler,” or still wondering, “GPT what?”—these prompts will help crisp up your resume and move you closer to Top 5% Talent status.

👨🏼‍🍳 Before We Get Started

New to AI? No worries. Here’s how to get started with ChatGPT:

1. Go to chatgpt.com and sign up. Want ChatGPT to remember your convos? Create an account—it’s worth it.

2. Click “New Chat” before each prompt to keep things clean.

3. Copy/paste the prompt below and swap in your info where you see [brackets].

4. Always—and I mean always—edit what ChatGPT gives you. Don’t let a robot write your career story.

Each prompt comes with step-by-step instructions. You’re in good hands.

⚠️ Quick heads-up: Be careful with DeepSeek. Check out articles like this one for why.

Best Practices for Using These Prompts

✅ Verify accuracy:

• Double-check all numbers and metrics

• Confirm industry-specific terms

• Stick to the truth—integrity > fluff

✍🏼 Customize outputs:

• Use your voice and tone

• Adjust for your industry’s lingo

• Combine ideas across different responses

🔁 Iterate intentionally:

• Try the same prompt multiple times

• Ask for variations and rewording

• Experiment, remix, and refine

🧾 Maintain format consistency:

• Keep bullet structure uniform

• Match verb tenses across your resume

• Stick to clean, readable formatting

🚫 Mistakes to Avoid

• Don’t blindly accept ChatGPT’s output—verify, refine, personalize

• Don’t stuff in jargon you can’t explain in an interview

• Don’t fudge the metrics—if you can’t back it up, don’t include it

• Don’t copy-paste without customizing for your voice and experience

🫤 Still Meh?

• Give more context (what type of role, industry, goals)

• Break complex requests into smaller parts

• Ask for specific examples

• Request 2–3 alternatives to compare outputs

🍰 Dessert: Sweet But Strategic

Recruiters don’t read resumes—they skim them, like a diner skims a dessert tray.

Your job? Make yours impossible to pass up.

So don’t just use this prompt. Work it. Tweak it. Run it twice. Mix in your metrics and make it sing.

Because when your resume reads like a highlight reel instead of a job description, you don’t just get noticed—you get calls.
