Tailor a resume with a chatbot without inventing experience

A general chatbot is a fine drafting tool for this. It also tends to fill gaps, because a job post says Snowflake and your resume doesn't. Here is how to keep the draft honest.

Prompt rules that help

• Say "use only facts that appear in my resume" and repeat it at the end of the prompt.
• Say "do not add employers, titles, dates, numbers, tools or skills."
• Tell it to keep the contact, employer and date lines exactly as written.
• Paste the resume and the job post in separate labeled blocks, so it doesn't confuse one for the other.

Then check the output yourself

Models don't always follow rules. After the rewrite, compare it with your original: every number, every tool name, every employer, and every item in the skills line. Our invented-fact check does that comparison and traces each line to the closest line you wrote.

What the check can't do

It compares words. A line can pass and still overstate what you did, for example "led" in place of "helped". Read the result as the person who has to defend it in an interview.
