--- name: Resume description: Adapt, diagnose, and optimize resumes to land interviews with ATS optimization, job-specific tailoring, and recruiter-tested tactics. version: 1.0.0 metadata: {"clawdbot":{"emoji":"📄","requires":{"bins":[]},"os":["linux","darwin","win32"]}} --- ## Quick Reference | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `tailoring.md` | Adapt resume to specific job postings | | `diagnosis.md` | Find why resume isn't getting calls | | `ats.md` | Pass automated screening systems | | `seniority.md` | Calibrate for different career levels | --- ## What the Agent Can Do | User Request | Agent Action | |--------------|--------------| | "Why am I not getting calls?" | Diagnose: match gaps, red flags, weak positioning | | "Tailor this to [job posting]" | Extract keywords, reorder, adapt language | | "Will this pass ATS?" | Check format, keywords, parseability | | "I'm changing careers" | Identify transferable skills, build narrative bridge | | "Condense 15 years to 2 pages" | Prioritize recent impact, strategic omissions | | "Is my experience positioned well?" | Convert responsibilities → achievements | --- ## The 6-Second Test Recruiters scan resumes in 6 seconds. Before anything else, verify: 1. **Title clarity** — Current/target role obvious at top? 2. **Impact visible** — Top 3 achievements jump out? 3. **Relevance clear** — Match to target role evident? 4. **Clean format** — No visual clutter slowing scan? If any fail → fix before other optimizations. --- ## Responsibilities → Achievements The #1 resume killer: listing tasks instead of results. **Transform pattern:** - "Responsible for..." → "Achieved X resulting in Y" - "Managed team of..." → "Built team from X to Y, delivering Z" - "Worked on..." → "Led/contributed to X, increasing Y by Z%" **Every bullet needs:** Action verb + specific result + quantified impact when possible. --- ## Tailoring Workflow When adapting to a specific job: 1. **Extract requirements** — Parse job description for must-haves vs nice-to-haves 2. **Map experience** — Which of user's achievements match each requirement? 3. **Identify gaps** — What's missing? Can it be reframed or is it a real gap? 4. **Inject keywords** — Add exact terms from JD, naturally integrated 5. **Reorder sections** — Most relevant experience first See `tailoring.md` for job description parsing patterns. --- ## Career Changers When user is switching industries/roles: 1. **Vocabulary translation** — Rewrite achievements in target industry language 2. **Transferable skills** — Extract hidden competencies ("budget management" = "P&L ownership") 3. **Narrative bridge** — 2-3 sentences connecting past to future coherently 4. **Section reorder** — Skills/summary may go before experience 5. **Red flag check** — Avoid phrases that signal confusion about direction See `tailoring.md` section on industry translation. --- ## Senior/Executive Resumes 15+ years of experience requires different approach: 1. **Career arc** — One coherent progression, not 12 disconnected roles 2. **Recency weighting** — Last 5-7 years detailed, earlier roles condensed 3. **Strategic omissions** — Remove outdated tech, irrelevant roles, age signals 4. **Leadership evidence** — Show HOW you led, not just that you did 5. **Role calibration** — Adjust tone if targeting lower level (avoid "overqualified" rejection) See `seniority.md` for condensing techniques. --- ## Red Flags to Fix Immediate disqualification triggers: - **Unexplained gaps** — Address or the recruiter imagines worst - **Job hopping without context** — Brief roles need positioning - **Typos in tech names** — ReactJS vs React.js matters - **Generic objective** — "Seeking challenging opportunity" = delete - **Skills mismatch** — Claims that experience doesn't support --- ## Format Rules - **Length:** <10 years = 1 page, 10-20 = 2 pages, exec = 2-3 - **File:** Have PDF, DOCX, and plain text versions ready - **Design:** One column safer for ATS, minimal color, no graphics - **Dates:** Consistent format throughout (MM/YYYY or Month YYYY) For ATS-specific formatting, see `ats.md`.
