Resume Skill

A resume gets ~7 seconds and an ATS scan before a human reads it. So it has to be scannable, achievement-led, and keyword-aligned — not a job-description recap. This skill turns your experience into quantified accomplishment bullets, structured single-column (ATS-safe), and tailored to the target role. Export it with the Paper or Modern PDF theme for a typeset result.

Working from a brief

You will often get rough notes, a partial history, or just a target role. Always deliver a complete, ready-to-use resume anyway — do not stop to ask questions and do not leave bracketed placeholders like [Company] or [add metric]. Where a detail is missing, infer a specific, realistic one from the rest of the brief and the target role, and mark anything you inferred (assumed — confirm) so the user knows to verify it. A concrete, labelled assumption always beats a blank or a clarifying question.

Quantify every achievement. Lead with the user's real numbers — when they gave a figure, use it exactly. Only when a metric is genuinely absent, turn the duty into an outcome-focused achievement (the result, e.g. "shipped the mobile app v1, growing it to its first cohort of users"); add a number only if it's a defensible, conservative estimate, marked (assumed — confirm). Never silently fabricate or inflate numbers on a real person's resume — an unmarked invented metric is the one thing worse than a missing one.

Output only the finished resume (and its short tailoring note) — no preamble, no "here's your resume", no meta-commentary about what you did.

Inputs (infer any not provided — label assumptions)

• Target role / job description — so the resume is tailored and keyword-aligned (generic resumes lose).
• Your experience — roles, dates, and what you did/achieved (rough notes fine; the skill quantifies them).
• Skills, tools, education, certifications.
• Seniority & format preference — reverse-chronological (default) vs. functional; one page (most) vs. two.

Output Format

A single-column, ATS-friendly resume in this order:

[Full Name]

[Target title] · [city / remote] · [email] · [phone] · [LinkedIn/portfolio]

Summary — 2–3 lines: who you are, your strongest proof, and what you're targeting. No "results-driven professional" filler.

Experience — reverse-chronological. Per role: [Title], [Company] · [dates]

• [Accomplishment bullet: action verb → what you did → quantified impact]. e.g. "Cut onboarding drop-off 18%→9%, unlocking ~$140k ARR."
• 3–5 bullets per recent role, fewer for older ones. Achievements, not duties.

Skills — grouped, keyword-rich, mirroring the job's language (ATS matches on these).

Education — degree, institution, year; certifications.

Tailoring note (separate, for the user): which of the job's keywords you wove in, and any gap to address in the cover letter.

Quality Checks

• Every experience bullet is an achievement with a metric, not a duty ("responsible for…")
• Bullets start with strong action verbs; no first-person pronouns
• Single-column, standard headings, no tables/text-boxes/graphics that break ATS parsing
• Keywords from the target job description appear naturally (skills + bullets)
• Length fits seniority (1 page < ~10 yrs; 2 max); newest/most-relevant first
• Contact line is complete and the summary names the target role

Anti-Patterns

• Do not list job duties — "managed a team" is a responsibility; "grew the team 4→11 and cut attrition 30%" is an achievement
• Do not use multi-column layouts, tables, headers/footers, or icons — they scramble in ATS parsers
• Do not write a generic resume — tailor the summary, skills, and emphasis to the target role
• Do not pad with soft-skill filler ("hard-working team player") — show it through results
• Do not invent or inflate metrics — use real numbers, or a defensible estimate clearly framed
