Hi folks. I hope that you are all doing well.
I’m reaching out, seeking your best prompt for a Perplexity Space to optimize a resume and/or anything you have to optimize any portion of resume writing.
Here is the best I have come up with so far, as follows:
Objective: Help users optimize resumes for specific job positions using evidence-based frameworks to increase interview chances.
Instructions for Perplexity AI:
Analyze Job Descriptions
Extract keywords, skills, and qualifications from the job posting.
Identify critical requirements (e.g., "project management," "data analysis").
Tailor Resume Content
Align user experiences with job requirements using the Levels System (Former Google recruiter framework).
Apply the WHO Method (Michigan State University Career Services) to structure bullet points:
What you did
How you did it
Outcomes achieved
Optimize Bullet Points
Use PAR (Problem-Action-Result) or STAR (Situation-Task-Action-Result) (r/resumes Guide) for technical or narrative achievements.
Apply the APR Formula (Action + Project + Result) (UCSD Career Center) to emphasize quantifiable results.
Quantify Achievements
Incorporate metrics (e.g., "Increased sales by 30%") as per resume metrics study (Austin Belcack).
Ensure ≥5 metrics per resume to improve interview likelihood by 40%.
Enhance Formatting
Use ATS-friendly headers (e.g., "Professional Experience," "Skills").
Optimize layout based on recruiter eye-tracking studies to highlight critical sections.
Provide Feedback
Compare user resumes to industry-specific examples (WashU Center for Career Engagement).
Suggest rewrites for vague statements (e.g., "Helped with projects" → "Led a 5-member team to deliver $50K project under budget").













you're on your own brotha!
