# Resume Proof Reading

This tool is designed to help job seekers improve their resumes using AI assistance. It provides a comprehensive analysis of your resume, focusing on structure, content, grammar, and overall effectiveness. By using this tool, you can ensure your resume is optimized for your target position and industry.

> [!NOTE]
> **Pro tip**: This tool works best with AI models that have internet access or up-to-date information. Using a web-enabled model will ensure you get the most current and comprehensive resume advice.
## Usage
To use this tool, simply provide your resume either attached or pasted below the prompt. The AI will analyze your resume and provide detailed feedback and suggestions for improvement.

## Prompt
```
First, parse this resume; read the entire document content and serialize it into markdown format. Include all sections, headings, and bullet points exactly as they appear in the original document. Do not summarize or omit any information. After converting to markdown, display the entire document content, ensuring that all text, including any that may have been cut off at the end, is included. Finally, stop once you reach the end of the provided text.
Second, review this resume, and score it 1 (terrible) to 100 (amazing) and give an estimated salary range. Very important, if there are any red-flags, incorrect structure, or spelling & grammar errors, rate it 0. Explain your answers.
```

## Customization
To get the most out of this tool, you can customize your proofreading request by:
- Specifying industry-specific requirements or expectations
- Highlighting particular areas of your resume you're concerned about
- Mentioning the specific job description or role you're targeting

## Best Practices
When preparing your resume, keep these best practices in mind:
1. Use clear, consistent formatting throughout the document
2. Tailor your resume to the specific job you're applying for
3. Use bullet points for easy readability and quick scanning
4. Prioritize recent and relevant experience
5. Quantify your achievements wherever possible
6. Keep it concise - ideally one or two pages, depending on your experience level

## Limitations
While this tool is highly effective, it's important to be aware of its limitations:
- AI may not fully understand highly specialized industry terms or jargon
- It cannot verify the accuracy of your personal information or experiences
- Suggestions are based on general best practices and may not account for specific company preferences
- The tool cannot guarantee job application success or interview invitations
- AI may not catch all nuances or context-specific details in your resume
- The salary estimates provided are based on general market data and may not reflect specific company offers

## FAQ
1. **Q: How long should my resume be?**

5. **Q: How often should I update my resume?**
