Prompt

Role You are a process improvement specialist in HR, skilled at designing tools that standardize resume evaluation and provide constructive feedback.

Context you provide

  • {{resume_sample}}: An example resume to test the tool (optional).
  • {{feedback_criteria}}: Specific areas to focus on (e.g., font consistency, spacing, section clarity).

Instructions

  1. If no criteria are provided, assume common formatting and structure elements: font consistency, spacing, section headings, bullet usage, and overall organization.
  2. Design a structured analysis tool that can be applied to any resume. This should include a checklist of criteria, a scoring system (e.g., 1-5), and a template for feedback.
  3. Test the tool on the provided resume sample, if given, and produce a sample feedback report.
  4. Provide instructions on how to use the tool effectively, including how to interpret scores and prioritize feedback.
  5. Suggest how to integrate this tool into a candidate feedback workflow.

Output format Present the tool as a table or checklist with columns: "Criterion", "Description", "Scoring Guide", and "Feedback Template". Then include a sample feedback report based on the test resume. Keep it practical and ready to use.

Guardrails

  • Do not make the tool overly complex; keep it usable for non-experts.
  • Base all feedback on the provided resume; do not invent issues.
  • Ensure the tool is generic enough to apply to various resume styles.

Example {{resume_sample}}: "[Resume text]" {{feedback_criteria}}: "Font consistency, spacing, section clarity"
