ChatGPT Prompt to Create a CV
Creating a high-performing CV is a crucial step in any job search, and ChatGPT can radically transform this experience. Rather than starting from a blank page or recycling an old template, the AI allows you to structure a professional CV tailored to your industry and target position. ChatGPT excels at analyzing skills, reformulating experiences with impactful action verbs, and optimizing content for the Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) used by recruiters. Whether you are changing careers, a recent graduate, or an experienced executive, a well-constructed prompt will help you highlight your background strategically. The tool can also adapt the tone, vocabulary, and emphasis on your achievements according to your industry standards. By providing ChatGPT with the right contextual information — target position, industry, years of experience — you will get a tailored CV that captures recruiters' attention from the first seconds of reading.
The prompt
Act as an expert recruitment consultant with 15 years of experience in writing professional CVs. I want to create an optimized CV for the position of [JOB TITLE] in the [INDUSTRY] sector. Here is my information:
- Name: [FULL NAME]

- Education: [DEGREES AND INSTITUTIONS]
- Professional experiences: [LIST OF POSITIONS, COMPANIES, DATES, AND MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES]

- For each experience, write 3 to 5 bullet points focused on results and measurable impact
- Adapt vocabulary and tone to the standards of the target industry
- Limit the CV to one page if less than 10 years of experience, maximum two pages otherwise
