ChatGPT Resume & Interview 4-Prompt Chain

A 4-step prompt workflow to tailor resumes and prep for interviews.

From the Xiry library · Updated 3 October 2026

This prompt sequence guides an LLM to compare your resume against a specific job posting, calculate a match score, and identify missing keywords. It then rewrites bullet points using Google's X-Y-Z formula, checks for ATS parsing issues, and generates targeted interview questions with model answers.

The prompt

Run these 4 prompts sequentially in a single ChatGPT conversation:

Step 1: Upload or paste your resume and the target job description, then submit:

"Act as a senior recruiter. Compare my resume to this job description. Give me a match score out of 100 and list my top 5 missing keywords."

Step 2 (stay in the same chat):

"Re-write my experience section to naturally include those keywords. Use the google X-Y-Z formula: Accomplished X, as measured by Y, by doing Z."

Step 3:

"Now act as an application tracking system filter. Scan my updated resume and tell me which sections a bot would struggle to read."

Step 4 (interview prep bonus):

"Act as the hiring manager for this role. Ask me the 3 hardest technical questions. Then write the best answer for each one based on my background."

What it's for

  • Identify missing keywords between an existing resume and a target job description
