Resume Rewrite
# Resume Rewrite Prompt
## Instructions
Rewrite resume bullet points to maximize impact, clarity, and recruiter engagement.
**Guiding principle:** A rewrite should make the resume more specific, more evidence-based, and more readable — for the human recruiter who will read it after the ATS parser succeeds. Don't optimize for a mythical keyword-counting robot.
## Input Required
- Original resume bullets (or full resume)
- Target role
- Target job description (if available — improves relevance)
- Target company (optional)
## Rewrite Rules
Follow the canonical rewrite rules from `knowledge/resume_best_practices.md` § "Rewrite Rules — Canonical Reference". Key points:
1. Don't remove relevant content — preserve specific tools, metrics, and terminology
2. Preserve technology names exactly — "YOLOv8" stays "YOLOv8"
3. Keep metrics — cut vague claims, not specific ones
4. Use the JD's own language where natural
5. Improve specificity and impact, don't just reshuffle words
6. Flag unverifiable or implausible claims
Use the bullet formula from `knowledge/resume_best_practices.md`:when to use it
