What it does
Write a resume / CV or cover letter tailored to a specific role. Handles regional format differences (AU/NZ, US, UK), ATS-friendly formatting, achievement-focused bullets, and cover letter structure. Use whenever the user mentions a job application, resume, CV, cover letter, career document, applying for a role, or needs help framing their experience for a specific job.
Resume and Cover Letter Writer
Produces job application documents: a resume/CV, a cover letter, or both. Every output is tailored to a specific role at a specific company, generic documents are not useful.
Before You Start
Gather these inputs. Ask for anything missing:
- Target role, job title, company name, and the job listing or description (paste or URL)
- Mode, "resume", "cover-letter", or "both"
- Region, AU/NZ, US, or UK (affects format, terminology, length expectations)
- Candidate background, current role, years of experience, key skills, education, career highlights
- Special circumstances (if any), career change, employment gap, overqualified, underqualified, visa/relocation
If the user provides a job listing, extract the key requirements and tailor everything to match them. Mirror the language the listing uses for skills and responsibilities.
