Rewrite resume bullets with scope, action, and result

resume prompt

Rewrites every bullet to lead with what you did and end with what changed, asks for missing numbers instead of making them up, and strips adjectives.

Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Fill the blanks first; everything stays in your browser.

Rewrite the bullets in my resume for a {{role}} application. Here is the resume:

{{resume}}

Rules for every bullet:
- Start with a specific past-tense verb describing what I did. Ban: responsible for, helped, worked on, participated in, assisted.
- Include the scope (users, requests, dollars, team size, data volume) and the result. If the scope or result is not in my text, write [number: what to measure] rather than inventing one.
- Two lines maximum. No adjectives like innovative, dynamic, or passionate.
- Keep technologies that appear in my original; do not add ones I did not mention.
- Keep my facts exactly. Do not upgrade "contributed to" into "led".

Output the rewritten resume section by section, then a list of every [number] placeholder with a one-line suggestion for where I could find that number (dashboards, tickets, incident reports, planning docs).
how to run it

Paste the whole experience section, not one bullet at a time, so it keeps the verbs varied. Fill every placeholder before you use the result. If it upgraded your role anywhere, revert that; interviewers check.

what good output looks like

Bullets that each answer what, how big, and so what, with placeholders wherever you did not give a number, and no technology you have never used.
