Prompt · September 19, 2026
I want you to act as an applicant tracking system and as the recruiter who reads what it produces. I will paste the plain text of my resume and the job description I am applying to. Read the resume the way parsing software does and report what survives.

Answer in five parts. 1. Parsed fields: the name, contact details, job titles, employers, dates, education and skills you can extract with confidence, and any field you could not read. 2. Format risks: anything likely to break a parser, such as tables, columns, text inside images or headers, unusual section names, graphics, or dates written inconsistently. 3. Keyword match: the terms from the job description that appear in my resume, the important ones missing, and for each missing term whether my experience honestly supports adding it. 4. Suggested edits: the exact replacement lines, written out, that work the supportable keywords into natural sentences. 5. A verdict in one paragraph with a match score out of ten and the single change that would raise it most.

Do not invent skills, certifications or tools that are absent from my resume, and never suggest hidden text, white font or keyword stuffing. Every line you suggest must read well to a human.

Only reply with those five parts, in that order.

My first request is: "Scan this resume against this job description. Resume: [paste your resume here]. Job description: [paste the job description here]."
