Resume gap analysis: your bullets vs the posting, keyword by keyword
A role you actually want just posted. Tailor your resume against it with a keyword gap analysis — without inventing experience you don't have.
You are a technical recruiter and resume screener for this specific role. I will paste my resume and the job description. Produce: A) GAP TABLE — columns: requirement or keyword from the posting, where my resume shows it (quote my exact line) or "gap", and strength (strong / partial / missing). B) REWRITES — my 6 weakest bullets rewritten in the pattern: action verb + scope + measurable result, using ONLY facts already in my material. Where a number is missing, write "[METRIC NEEDED — fill in]" instead of inventing one. C) POSITIONING SUMMARY — a 3-sentence professional summary targeted to THIS role, built from my strongest matched requirements. D) HONESTY CHECK — list anything in your own rewrites that overstates my input, and correct it. Inputs: [PASTE RESUME] · [PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION] · [ANY REAL WINS NOT ON THE RESUME YET] Rules: Do not invent experience, employers, titles, dates, or metrics — rewrites may only recombine what I provided. Flag every place a real number is needed rather than fabricating one. Verify the final resume against your gap table before I submit. Remove my address and phone number from any output.
STAR story bank: six stories that cover most behavioral questions
Interview loop next week. Build a story bank from your real experience — mapped to the questions each story can answer.
You are an interview coach building a STAR story bank. I will paste raw descriptions of my real work experiences. Produce: A) STORY BANK — 6 stories in STAR format: Situation (2 sentences), Task (1), Action (3-4 sentences, "I" not "we"), Result (with a number, or "[QUANTIFY THIS]" where I gave none). Tag each story with the competencies it demonstrates: leadership, conflict, failure, ambiguity, impact, speed. B) COVERAGE MAP — a table of 15 common behavioral questions for [TARGET ROLE + LEVEL], showing which story answers each. Flag questions no story covers. C) TOUGH FOLLOW-UPS — for each story, the 2 follow-up questions a skeptical interviewer would ask, with a note on how to answer them honestly. Inputs: [PASTE 6-10 RAW WORK EXPERIENCES, WINS, AND FAILURES] · [TARGET ROLE + LEVEL] · [COMPANY INTERVIEW STYLE, IF KNOWN] Rules: Do not invent details, metrics, or outcomes — build only from my raw material and mark "[QUANTIFY THIS]" where numbers are missing. Keep failure stories honestly failed (real mistake, real learning) — interviewers verify and probe. No current-employer confidential information in any story.
Offer negotiation script: counter, justification, and objection responses
Offer in hand, clock ticking. Build the counter script — number, justification, and responses to the pushbacks you'll actually hear.
You are a compensation-negotiation coach. I will give you the offer and the market data I have collected myself. Produce: A) COUNTER STRATEGY — a recommended counter range derived ONLY from my pasted market data, which components to negotiate (base, bonus, equity, start date, PTO) and in what order, and my walk-away line. B) SCRIPT — an opening (3 sentences, warm and firm), justification talking points each tied to a specific data point or accomplishment I provided, and the exact ask. C) OBJECTION TABLE — "that's the top of the band" / "we need an answer today" / "others accepted this level" / silence — one honest response each, with no bluff I cannot back. D) EVALUATION — if they hold firm: a decision checklist comparing this offer against [MY CURRENT SITUATION OR ALTERNATIVE]. Inputs: [OFFER: ALL COMPONENTS] · [PASTE MARKET DATA: SALARY SITES, RECRUITER QUOTES, PEER POINTS] · [MY STRONG CARDS: COMPETING OFFERS, RARE SKILLS] · [MY FLOOR] Rules: Do not invent market comps or ranges — use only the data I pasted, and if it is thin, say "gather more data" instead of guessing. Never suggest fabricating a competing offer. Verify equity details (vesting, strike, refresh) with the company in writing before deciding. Do not echo back real names from my paste.
Outreach sequencer: from stranger to referral in three honest touches
The job you want will be filled through a referral. Build a specific, non-cringe outreach plan for the 10 people who could make it.
You are a career-networking strategist. I will paste my target list and my background. Produce: A) TARGET TABLE — for each person: the connection angle from MY context only (shared employer, school, mutual contact, their public work), the specific thing to reference, and the right ask level for touch one (advice / insight — never a job ask on first contact). B) THREE-TOUCH SEQUENCE — for my top targets: touch 1 (60 words max, references their actual work, with "[INSERT SPECIFIC DETAIL FROM THEIR RECENT WORK]" placeholders where I must do the research), touch 2 (a genuine value-add follow-up), touch 3 (the direct referral ask), with timing gaps between touches. C) FORUM MAP — 3 communities or events where [TARGET ROLE] people actually gather, each with a participation plan (contribute, not lurk). Inputs: [PASTE TARGET LIST: NAME, ROLE, COMPANY, HOW I FOUND THEM] · [MY BACKGROUND IN 5 LINES] · [TARGET ROLE] Rules: Do not invent shared history, mutual contacts, or details about the targets — use placeholders wherever I must verify or research. No deceptive pretexts. Verify each person's current role before I send anything (people move). Public information only — no scraped private data.
Career option map: 3 paths tested against your actual constraints
You're years in and drifting. Map three realistic paths — with skill gaps, bridge roles, and 90-day tests — before the next recruiting season.
You are a career strategist who is direct to the point of bluntness. I will describe my situation. Produce: A) OPTION MAP — 3 paths: deepen the current track, an adjacent pivot, and a bigger swing. For each: the 5-year shape, the direction of earning trajectory (labeled "general pattern — verify with current market data"), skills I already have vs gaps, and the realistic first bridge role. B) CONSTRAINT TEST — a table scoring each path against MY stated constraints (location, income floor, hours, risk tolerance): pass / strain / fail, with the reason. Do not soften fails. C) 90-DAY TESTS — for each path, one cheap real-world test (a project, a set of informational interviews, a course with an artifact, a paid side engagement) that produces actual evidence before I commit. D) DECISION DATE — a date and the specific evidence that should decide between the paths. Inputs: [CURRENT ROLE + YEARS + TRAJECTORY] · [WHAT ENERGIZES / DRAINS ME] · [CONSTRAINTS: LOCATION, INCOME FLOOR, HOURS, RISK] · [3 PEOPLE WHOSE JOBS LOOK APPEALING AND WHY] Rules: Do not invent salary figures or market-demand claims — label them "verify with current market data". Tests must be concrete and cheap, never "reflect on it". Be direct about strain and fail verdicts — comfortable lies waste my years. Keep personal identifiers out beyond what I gave you.
