Optimize your resume for ATS systems
Help me optimize my resume to pass ATS (Applicant Tracking System) screening. Target job posting: [paste the full job description] My current resume: [paste your full resume text] Industry: [your industry] Optimize for ATS: 1. Identify keywords from the job description that are missing from my resume 2. Suggest where to naturally incorporate each missing keyword 3. Flag any formatting issues that ATS systems commonly reject (tables, columns, graphics, headers) 4. Recommend a clean, ATS-friendly format structure 5. Check that my job titles, dates, and education are in standard ATS-readable format 6. Score my current resume's ATS compatibility on a 1-10 scale with specific improvements
הכי טוב ל: CHATGPT
ChatGPT has the most accurate understanding of how ATS systems parse resumes. It identifies keyword gaps quickly and suggests natural placement that doesn't make your resume sound forced.

טיפים מקצועיים
Use a simple, single-column resume format with standard section headers (Experience, Education, Skills). Creative designs impress humans but confuse the robots that screen you first.
Transform weak resume bullets into strong ones
Help me transform my resume bullet points from duties to accomplishments. My current bullet points: [paste 8-12 current bullets from your resume] Role these are for: [job title] Industry context: [your industry] Metrics I can access: [revenue, users, time saved, cost reduced, team size, etc.] Transform my bullets: 1. Rewrite each bullet using the formula: [Action Verb] + [What You Did] + [Measurable Result] 2. Add specific numbers, percentages, or dollar amounts to every bullet possible 3. Replace passive language with powerful action verbs 4. Remove generic phrases like "responsible for" and "helped with" 5. Prioritize bullets by impact — strongest accomplishment first 6. Ensure each bullet can stand alone and tells a complete micro-story
הכי טוב ל: CLAUDE
Claude transforms resume bullets with the most natural and impressive language. It avoids the corporate buzzword trap and creates bullets that sound like achievements, not a HR template.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
If you can't attach a number to a bullet point, try framing it as a comparison: 'first to,' 'only person who,' 'reduced from X to Y.' Context and contrast create impact without exact metrics.
Write a compelling professional summary
Help me write a professional summary for the top of my resume. Target role: [job title I'm applying for] Years of experience: [number] Key skills: [list 5-7 top skills] Biggest career achievement: [one standout accomplishment] What makes me different: [unique value proposition] Industry: [your industry] Write my summary: 1. Craft a 3-4 sentence summary that immediately communicates my value 2. Include the target role title and years of experience naturally 3. Weave in 3-4 keywords from typical job descriptions for this role 4. Lead with my strongest differentiator, not generic qualifications 5. Provide 3 alternative versions (confident, results-focused, narrative) 6. Keep it under 50 words — recruiters don't read paragraph summaries
הכי טוב ל: CHATGPT
ChatGPT writes the most concise and keyword-optimized summaries that work for both ATS scanning and human reading. It produces multiple strong variations quickly for A/B testing.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
Your summary should answer: 'What do I do, how well do I do it, and what makes me different?' If it could describe anyone in your industry, it's too generic to be useful.
Rewrite your resume for a career change
Help me rewrite my resume for a career pivot. Current industry/role: [what I do now] Target industry/role: [what I want to do] Why I'm making this change: [motivation] Transferable skills: [skills that apply to both fields] Relevant training or certifications: [any new qualifications] Gaps I know I have: [skills or experience I'm missing] Pivot my resume: 1. Identify the 5 strongest transferable skills and how to frame them for the new industry 2. Rewrite my job descriptions using language from the target industry 3. Suggest a functional or hybrid resume format that emphasizes skills over chronology 4. Create a "bridge statement" that explains my career pivot positively 5. Recommend where to place new certifications and training for maximum impact 6. Address the experience gap without being defensive about it
הכי טוב ל: CLAUDE
Claude handles career pivot resumes with the most strategic thinking. It finds connections between seemingly unrelated experiences and creates compelling bridge narratives that make the pivot feel intentional.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
Lead with a 'Skills' or 'Core Competencies' section instead of a chronological work history. In a career pivot, what you CAN do matters more than where you've been.
Address resume gaps confidently
Help me address gaps in my employment history on my resume. Gap periods: [list each gap with dates] Actual reasons: [be honest — layoff, health, caregiving, travel, personal, etc.] What I did during each gap: [any activities, learning, volunteering, freelancing] How I feel about the gaps: [confident / embarrassed / nervous] Target role: [what I'm applying for now] Address my gaps: 1. Determine which gaps need to be addressed on the resume vs. only in an interview 2. Suggest resume formatting strategies that minimize gap visibility 3. Write brief, positive descriptions for any gap periods I should include 4. Create interview responses for "What were you doing during this time?" 5. Identify any gap activities that actually strengthen my candidacy 6. Provide reassurance with data on how common employment gaps actually are
הכי טוב ל: GEMINI
Gemini provides the most practical gap-addressing strategies with specific formatting techniques. It normalizes employment gaps with relevant data and creates confidence-building talking points.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
Employment gaps are far more common and accepted than most candidates think. If you did ANYTHING productive during the gap — learning, volunteering, caregiving — frame it as intentional growth.
Prioritize and organize resume skills
Help me decide which skills to include on my resume and how to organize them. All my skills: [list everything you can do — technical, soft, tools, certifications] Target job description: [paste the job description] Skills I'm strongest in: [top 5 by proficiency] Skills I enjoy most: [top 5 by preference] Skills I'm currently developing: [what you're learning] Rank and organize my skills: 1. Match my skills against the job requirements and rank by relevance 2. Identify must-include skills that the job description mentions explicitly 3. Suggest skills to remove (irrelevant or potentially harmful to include) 4. Organize skills into logical categories (Technical, Leadership, Tools, etc.) 5. Recommend proficiency indicators if the role warrants them 6. Identify skills the job description implies but doesn't state directly
הכי טוב ל: GEMINI
Gemini analyzes job descriptions against skill lists methodically and catches implied skills that other models miss. Its categorization and ranking system is the most logical and recruiter-friendly.
Tested Feb 15, 2026
טיפים מקצועיים
Remove skills that are so basic they hurt your credibility (Microsoft Word, email). Also remove skills completely irrelevant to the role. A focused skills section is more powerful than a comprehensive one.
Based on actual testing — not assumptions. See our methodology
Gemini
Best for skill ranking, gap addressing, and methodical job description analysis. Provides the most data-backed recommendations and practical formatting strategies.
Results from Gemini 2.0 Flash · Tested Feb 15, 2026ChatGPT
Strongest at ATS optimization, keyword matching, and writing concise professional summaries. Produces the most polished, immediately usable resume content.
Results from GPT-4o · Tested Feb 15, 2026Claude
Excels at transforming weak bullets into compelling accomplishments and crafting career pivot narratives. Best at making resume language sound authentic rather than template-generated.
Results from Claude 3.5 Sonnet · Tested Feb 15, 2026Grok
Writes the punchiest, most impactful resume bullet points with strong action verbs that grab attention. Strips out corporate fluff and gets straight to what makes you impressive. Less suited for conservative industries where formal, traditional resume language is expected.
Results from Grok 2 · Tested Feb 15, 2026Your resume is a marketing document, not a biography. Include only what's relevant to the job you want, not everything you've ever done. Every bullet point should answer the question: 'Does this make the hiring manager want to interview me?'
One resume does not fit all jobs. Maintain a master resume with all your experience, then create tailored versions for each application. The 15 minutes spent customizing is the difference between the maybe pile and the interview pile.
Numbers are your resume's best friend. Quantify everything you can: revenue generated, time saved, team size managed, percentage improvements. 'Increased sales by 23%' is infinitely more powerful than 'Helped increase sales.'
