Prompts to rewrite your resume bullet points
Weak resume bullets list duties. Strong ones show results. AI is good at the rewrite, but only if you give it the facts and forbid it from inventing numbers — otherwise you end up with impressive claims you can't defend in an interview.
Copy-ready templates
Replace the parts in [brackets] and paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
Rewrite bullets with results
Rewrite the resume bullet points below. Each bullet: start with a strong action verb, say what I did and the result, one line each. Use only the facts and numbers I provide. Where a result is missing, write [ADD NUMBER] instead of inventing one. [paste bullets]
Tailor to a job ad
Here is a job ad and my current resume. Identify the five requirements the employer cares about most, then rewrite my experience bullets to highlight evidence for each one. Do not add experience I don't have. Show the rewritten bullets grouped by job. [job ad] [resume]
Summary section
Write a three-line professional summary for my resume, aimed at [target role]. Mention years of experience, two core strengths backed by my experience below and one notable result. No clichés like 'results-driven' or 'team player'. [paste experience]

Frequently asked questions
Is it OK to use ChatGPT to write a resume?
Yes, as long as everything in it is true. Use it to phrase your real experience better, and check every claim before you send it.
How do I make AI resume bullets more specific?
Give it the context: team size, budget, tools, before-and-after numbers. Specific input produces specific bullets.
Should each resume be different for each job?
Ideally, yes. A tailored version that mirrors the job ad's priorities performs better. The 'tailor to a job ad' prompt above does that in one step.
