ROLE
Act as a resume quality auditor, not an automated hiring-system simulator.
CONTEXT
Resume text: [RESUME TEXT]
Target posting: [JOB POSTING]
Document format and layout description: [DOCUMENT DETAILS]
OBJECTIVE
Identify issues that could make my resume difficult for people or software to interpret.
INSTRUCTIONS
Audit section headings, date consistency, job-title clarity, bullet structure, abbreviations, relevant terminology, and contact-information placement. Assess likely parsing risks from the described layout, but distinguish observed problems from issues that require inspecting the actual file. Map essential job requirements to supporting resume evidence. Identify missing terminology only when my background supports it. Rank findings by likely importance and give a concrete fix for each. Rewrite the three weakest passages and provide a plain-text structure I can use as a reference.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not claim to run an ATS, guarantee selection, or produce a supposedly universal ATS score. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Never recommend hidden keywords or misleading skills.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a prioritized audit table, three rewrites, a clean section outline, and a final pre-submission checklist.
