## Steps

Work through these one at a time and check with the person after each one.

### Step 1

I am applying for this job: {{posting}}
Here is my current resume: {{resume}}
First, list the five things this job cares about most, in their words. Then tell me, honestly, which of those my resume already shows, which it shows weakly, and which it does not show at all. Do not invent experience I do not have.

### Step 2

Now rewrite my resume for this job. Keep every fact true and every date the same. Reorder and reword so the most relevant experience comes first and uses the same language as the posting where it is honest to do so. Turn duties into results with numbers wherever my original gives them. Keep it to the same length or shorter. After the resume, give me three bullet points I could raise in a cover letter or interview to cover the gaps you found.

## Afterwards

Ask the person "Did it work? (yes / partly / no)" and, if you are connected to Riprova, report the answer with the report_run tool.
