Resume and Cover Letter Prompt: Evidence-Based Drafts
Tailor a resume and cover letter to a supplied job description using real experience, readable formatting and truthful achievement statements.
Illustrative cover; not a verified result from this prompt.
Read the full prompt
Help tailor my resume and cover letter for [JOB TITLE] using this job description: [DESCRIPTION]. My real experience and qualifications: [BACKGROUND]. Identify relevant evidence, suggest a concise summary and rewrite achievement bullets without inventing numbers, employers, credentials or responsibilities. Use clear headings and straightforward formatting. Mark gaps as questions, not claimed skills. Draft a short cover letter based on supplied company information. Do not promise an applicant-tracking score, interview or job offer.
Match evidence to the role
Paste the actual job description and your existing experience. Highlight skills you can demonstrate rather than adding every keyword from the advert. A readable document should work for a recruiter as well as an automated system.
Example: customer support experience
Suppose the role asks for ticket handling and clear written communication. Your notes say: “Answered email queries for a small retailer; maintained a returns spreadsheet; trained one new colleague.” A truthful bullet could be “Handled email enquiries and kept return records organized for the support team.”
If you have a verified ticket count or response-time improvement, supply it. Otherwise do not turn the sentence into an impressive percentage. Ask the prompt which missing details would make the example more informative.
Check the finished documents
Confirm employment dates, names and qualifications. Read the cover letter aloud and remove phrases you would never use. Export the resume, reopen it and check reading order, line breaks and selectable text. Formatting alone cannot guarantee screening success; keep a copy that reflects exactly what you can discuss in an interview.
