Resume in, robot out

Okay, if you want to apply for a job at EU focussed organisations like Interpoll, it’s wise to have a resume document that fits their robot parser AND IT’S A DOOZY! Because most resumes are unfit and will leave you hand-inputting all the data. So this is what I did. I asked AI to solve my problem: I don’t speak ‘ATS’ , which apperantly is the language of resume-parsing-robots.

The AI told me to do this in three stages, so here we go, INCLUDING THE FREE PROMPTS IN JSON FORMAT. The files you can download below are JSON files that are compressed, so that your browser doesn’t try to interpret them.

I have put a screenshot to a resume form of Interpoll way at the end of this post. Why? Because it’s a LOOOOOONG boi.

Step 1: Reformat

Use the code below to use the reformatter prompt JSON file below this code to reformat your resume PDF file, or Markdown file.

You must use the following JSON object as an instruction contract.
Do not ignore, summarize, reinterpret, or simplify it.
Execute it as written.

JSON:
[PASTE JSON HERE]

Provided inputs:
- resume_text:
[PASTE RESUME TEXT HERE]

- job_description:
[PASTE JOB DESCRIPTION HERE IF APPLICABLE]

Rules for execution:
- If the JSON defines an input schema, map the provided content into that schema
- If the JSON defines an output schema, match it exactly
- If any required input is missing, state that clearly in the relevant clarification field
- Do not add explanations outside the requested output

Step 2: Tailor your resume to the role you are applying for

Use the code below to use the Tailor prompt JSON file below this code to reformat your new resume file.

I want you to execute this JSON prompt exactly as a processing specification.

JSON prompt:
[PASTE JSON HERE]

Resume text:
[PASTE TEXT FROM MY RESUME HERE]

Optional job description:
[PASTE HERE OR WRITE "none"]

Please:
- map the inputs into the JSON structure
- follow all constraints exactly
- return only the requested output fields
- do not invent any facts

Step 3: Audit the resume (just to be sure)

Use the code below to use the Audit prompt JSON file below this code to reformat your new resume file.

I want you to execute this JSON prompt exactly as a processing specification.

JSON prompt:
[PASTE JSON HERE]

Resume text:
[PASTE TEXT FROM MY RESUME HERE]

Optional job description:
[PASTE HERE OR WRITE "none"]

Please:
- map the inputs into the JSON structure
- follow all constraints exactly
- return only the requested output fields
- do not invent any facts

Why are you doing this?

Basically, because morons exist. People that only think what THEY need (recruiters, looking at you), corporate tool buyers that don’t really care for anyone, and … well basically, no one ever checked what the impact is of the abomination that follows this sentence.
