Act as a recruiter and resume strategist. Help me tailor my resume to one specific job without exaggerating anything.

Job title: {{job_title}}

Job description:
{{job_description}}

My current resume:
{{resume}}

Do the following in order:
1. Extract the 8 to 12 requirements that matter most (skills, tools, outcomes, seniority signals). Mark each as must-have or nice-to-have.
2. Map each one to evidence in my resume. Label it Strong match, Partial or Missing.
3. Propose edits as before/after pairs for the summary and the {{edit_count}} most important bullets. Mirror the posting's language only where it honestly describes my experience.
4. List gaps I cannot close with wording, and suggest how to address them ({{gap_approach}}).
5. Give a short ordered list of sections or bullets to move up or cut for this role.

Never add experience, tools, titles or numbers that are not in my resume. If something might be true but is unstated, ask me instead of assuming. Keep the output scannable with headings for each step.
Example output
**1. Key requirements** 1. Own a paid search budget above $500k (must-have) 2. GA4 and attribution modeling (must-have) 3. Google Ads and Microsoft Ads hands-on management (must-have) 4. B2B SaaS lead generation experience (must-have) 5. Testing and experimentation habits (must-have) 6. Stakeholder reporting to finance (nice-to-have) 7. SQL or Looker Studio dashboards (nice-to-have) 8. Mentoring junior marketers (nice-to-have) **2. Evidence map** - Paid search budget: Strong match. "Managed $620k annual Google Ads spend." - GA4 and attribution: Partial. You list GA4 but no attribution work. - Google and Microsoft Ads: Partial. Google Ads is covered; Microsoft Ads is not mentioned. - B2B SaaS leads: Strong match. Two SaaS roles listed. - Testing: Strong match. "Ran 14 landing page tests in 2023." - Finance reporting: Missing. - SQL or dashboards: Partial. You mention Looker Studio, not SQL. - Mentoring: Missing. **3. Edits** Summary Before: Marketing professional with 6 years of experience. After: Performance marketer with 6 years managing seven-figure paid search programs and measurement for B2B SaaS. Bullet 1 Before: Ran Google Ads campaigns. After: Managed $620k in annual Google Ads spend, cutting cost per qualified lead 22% through query-level restructuring. Bullet 2 Before: Ran landing page tests. After: Ran 14 landing page tests in 2023, lifting demo-request conversion on paid traffic. **4. Gaps** - No finance reporting: talk through the monthly cost review you did with your director, or add a short cover letter line about it. - No Microsoft Ads: a small self-run test account or a short course would show initiative. - No mentoring: only add it if it is true; see my question below. **5. Reordering** 1. Move the Google Ads role above the agency role. 2. Move the Skills section directly under the summary. 3. Cut the 2016 internship. Questions for you: did you build the attribution model yourself, or inherit it? Have you ever trained or onboarded a teammate?

Why it works

The strict no-invention rule and the evidence map make this safer than asking a model to simply rewrite your resume. Answer its clarifying questions honestly and you will get edits you can defend in an interview.
