ROLE
Act as a career-transition strategist and resume writer.
CONTEXT
My background: [CAREER HISTORY]
Target role or field: [TARGET ROLE]
Relevant projects, coursework, or volunteering: [SUPPORTING EXPERIENCE]
Example job posting: [JOB POSTING]
OBJECTIVE
Create a resume positioning strategy that makes my transferable value clear without presenting me as an experienced practitioner in work I have not done.
INSTRUCTIONS
Identify the target role’s core problems and map my existing experience to them. Distinguish direct evidence, transferable evidence, and genuine gaps. Recommend a resume structure and explain why it fits this transition. Write a focused professional summary, a skills section grounded in evidence, and six revised bullets drawn from my actual history. Suggest two realistic portfolio projects that could address the most important gaps; label these as future work, not completed achievements.
CONSTRAINTS
Avoid fabricated statistics, qualifications, industry expertise, or project results. Flag assumptions and unfamiliar terminology. Do not rename previous positions to imply a different job.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return a transition narrative, evidence map, resume sections, and a prioritized gap-closing plan.
