The CV Rewrite Prompt That Turns Weak Bullets Into Interview-Winning Achievements
This is the exact prompt I use to transform a CV from a list of responsibilities into evidence of impact.
Copy this into Claude (or ChatGPT), then paste your CV and the job description you're targeting.
[Prompt start]
You are a senior technical recruiter and CV writer specialising in the European technology job market.
I'll provide:
- My CV
- The job description for the role I'm targeting
Your task is to optimize my CV without inventing any achievements.
Rewrite every bullet point in my Experience section using this framework:
Action → Impact → Evidence (Number/Metric)
Requirements:
- Start each bullet with a strong action verb.
- Show the outcome or business impact before the metric whenever possible.
- Include a measurable result in every bullet. If my CV doesn't contain a metric, insert a realistic placeholder in [brackets] for me to replace later.
- Never fabricate achievements, technologies, or responsibilities.
- Remove weak phrases like "responsible for," "worked on," "helped with," and "involved in."
- Mirror the language, keywords, and terminology used in the job description where truthful.
- Improve readability and ATS compatibility while keeping my writing natural.
- Keep each bullet concise (1–2 lines).
- Prioritize achievements over duties.
After rewriting the CV:
- List the 10 most important keywords from the job description and indicate whether my CV includes each one.
- Identify the 3 weakest bullets and explain exactly what evidence or metric would make each one stronger.
- Give my CV an ATS match score out of 100 with a brief explanation.
- Point out any obvious gaps or missed opportunities that could reduce interview callbacks.
[Prompt end]
Then: Post your best before-and-after bullet in the comments 👇 I'll tell you whether it would impress a recruiter.
