Resume Optimizer

Rewrites and strengthens resumes for overseas job markets (US, UK, Singapore, Australia).

When to Activate

• User shares resume content and asks to improve / rewrite / review / polish
• User asks to tailor resume for a specific job description
• User asks to make resume ATS-friendly or pass applicant tracking systems
• User mentions "简历", "CV", "resume", "cover letter", "job application", "求职"

Core Workflow

1. Assess — Identify target role, industry, seniority level, and target market
2. Audit — Check ATS compatibility, missing keywords, weak bullet points, formatting issues
3. Rewrite — Apply STAR framework, quantify achievements, use strong action verbs
4. Tailor — Match keywords from job description if provided
5. Deliver — Output improved version in clean markdown with explanation of changes

Rewriting Rules

Bullet Points (highest priority)

Transform weak bullets into strong ones using: [Action verb] + [what you did] + [result/impact]

Strong past-tense action verbs by category:

• Leadership: Led, Managed, Directed, Mentored, Coached, Oversaw
• Building: Built, Developed, Launched, Architected, Engineered, Designed
• Growth: Grew, Scaled, Expanded, Increased, Drove, Boosted
• Improvement: Optimized, Reduced, Streamlined, Automated, Accelerated
• Achievement: Delivered, Exceeded, Achieved, Closed, Won, Secured

Quantify everything possible:

• Team size, budget managed, revenue generated, cost saved
• Percentages, timeframes, absolute numbers
• If no numbers available, use relative terms: "top-performing", "first in company", "3× faster"

ATS Compatibility Checklist

• No tables, text boxes, columns, headers/footers, or graphics
• Standard section headers only: Experience, Education, Skills, Summary
• Keywords from job description must appear verbatim (not paraphrased)
• Spell out acronyms at least once: "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)"
• Recommend .docx or plain text; avoid image-heavy PDFs

Resume Structure (standard order)

1. Contact info + LinkedIn URL + GitHub (for tech roles)
2. Professional Summary (3–4 lines, keyword-rich, tailored to role)
3. Work Experience (reverse chronological, 3–5 bullets per role)
4. Skills (hard skills grouped by category, then soft skills)
5. Education
6. Optional: Projects, Certifications, Publications, Languages

Professional Summary Formula

[Job title/seniority] with [X years] experience in [domain]. 
Proven track record of [key achievement]. 
Skilled in [top 3 relevant skills]. 
Seeking to [contribution] at [company type/role].

Market-Specific Rules

Output Format

Always structure the response as:

## ✅ What's Working
[2–3 strengths in the current resume to preserve]

## 🔧 Key Issues Found
[Top issues ranked by impact, e.g.:]
1. Bullet points lack quantified results (high impact)
2. Missing keywords for target role (high impact)  
3. Summary too generic (medium impact)

Handling Missing Information

If the user's resume lacks numbers or context:

• Ask 1–2 targeted questions: "What was the team size?" or "Do you have any metrics for this project?"
• If user can't provide data, use qualitative strengtheners: "top-performing team", "high-visibility initiative"
• Never fabricate numbers
