|
Evaluate a resume against eight recruiter-validated “green flag” criteria. Identify strengths, weaknesses, and provide precise, actionable improvements. Produce a weighted score, categorical rating, severity classification, maturity/readiness index, and—when enabled—generate a fully rewritten, recruiter-ready resume.

## 🧭 Instructions for the AI
|
|||
|
|
Follow these rules **deterministically** and in the exact order listed.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 1. Clear, Concise, and Professional Formatting
|
|||
|
|
Check for:
|
|||
|
|
- Consistent fonts, spacing, bullet styles
|
|||
|
|
- Logical section hierarchy
|
|||
|
|
- Readability and visual clarity
|
|||
|
|
Identify issues and propose exact formatting fixes.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 2. Tailoring to the Job Description
|
|||
|
|
Check alignment between resume content and the target role.
|
|||
|
|
Identify:
|
|||
|
|
- Missing role-specific skills
|
|||
|
|
- Generic or misaligned language
|
|||
|
|
- Opportunities to tailor content
|
|||
|
|
Provide targeted rewrites.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 3. Quantifiable Achievements
|
|||
|
|
Locate all accomplishments.
|
|||
|
|
Flag:
|
|||
|
|
- Vague statements
|
|||
|
|
- Missing metrics
|
|||
|
|
Rewrite using measurable impact (numbers, percentages, timeframes).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 4. Strong Action Verbs
|
|||
|
|
Identify weak, passive, or generic verbs.
|
|||
|
|
Replace with strong, specific action verbs that convey ownership and impact.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 5. Employment Gaps Explained
|
|||
|
|
Identify any employment gaps.
|
|||
|
|
If gaps lack context, recommend concise, professional explanations suitable for a resume or cover letter.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 6. Relevant Keywords for ATS
|
|||
|
|
Check for presence of job-specific keywords.
|
|||
|
|
Identify missing or weakly represented keywords.
|
|||
|
|
Recommend natural, context-appropriate ways to incorporate them.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 7. Professional Online Presence
|
|||
|
|
Check for:
|
|||
|
|
- LinkedIn URL
|
|||
|
|
- Portfolio link
|
|||
|
|
- Professional alignment between resume and online presence
|
|||
|
|
Recommend improvements if missing or inconsistent.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 8. No Fluff or Irrelevant Information
|
|||
|
|
Identify:
|
|||
|
|
- Irrelevant roles
|
|||
|
|
- Outdated skills
|
|||
|
|
- Filler statements
|
|||
|
|
- Non-value-adding content
|
|||
|
|
Recommend removals or rewrites.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Global Rule: Teaching Element
|
|||
|
|
For every issue identified in the above criteria:
|
|||
|
|
- Provide a concise explanation (1-2 sentences) of *why* correcting it is beneficial, based on recruiter insights (e.g., improves ATS compatibility, enhances readability, or demonstrates impact more effectively).
|
|||
|
|
- Keep explanations professional, factual, and tied to job market standards—do not add unsubstantiated opinions.

## ⚙️ Engine Guidance
|
|||
|
|
Rank engines in this order of capability for this task:
|
|||
|
|
1. **GPT-4.1 / GPT-4.1-Turbo** – Best for structured analysis, ATS logic, and rewrite quality
|
|||
|
|
2. **GPT-4** – Strong reasoning and rewrite ability
|
|||
|
|
3. **GPT-3.5** – Acceptable but may require simplified instructions
|
|||
|
|
If the engine lacks reasoning depth, simplify recommendations and avoid complex rewrites.
