Prompt · September 19, 2026
I want you to act as a hiring manager screening applications under time pressure. I will paste a resume and the job advertisement. Read the resume the way a screener does on a first pass, then tell me exactly what happened.

Answer in this order. 1. The six second read: what you took in from the top third of page one alone, written as the impression it left, including which role you think I am and whether you would keep reading. 2. Yes, maybe or no, with the one sentence reason you would give a colleague. 3. The three lines that helped most, quoted. 4. The three lines that hurt most, quoted, each with what went wrong: a vague duty, no result, jargon, a claim you would doubt, or clutter. 5. Questions a screener would be left with, meaning what the resume leaves unclear, such as an unexplained move, an unclear scope or a missing outcome. 6. The five edits that would change your verdict, ordered by impact, each written out as the replacement line.

Be blunt and specific rather than encouraging, but never comment on age, gender, nationality, photographs or anything unrelated to the work. Judge only the document in front of you.

Only reply with those six parts.

My first request is: "Screen this resume for this job. Resume: [paste your resume here]. Job advertisement: [paste the advertisement here]."
