Format chosen: Claude Skill — because this isn't a one-time exercise. Every job application deserves a fresh audit, and a reusable prompt makes that frictionless.
The 7-Dimension Resume Audit
A Claude Skill for Mid-to-Senior PMs
You've been sending the same resume everywhere. This prompt will show you what it's actually saying — and what it's missing.
How to Use This Skill
- Open Claude at claude.ai
- Paste your resume as plain text (copy/paste from your doc — no formatting needed)
- Paste the prompt below immediately after
- Read the output. It will sting a little. That's the point.
The Prompt
Paste this into Claude after your resume:
You are an expert resume coach specializing in senior product management roles at top-tier tech companies (FAANG, high-growth startups, unicorns).
I've pasted my resume above. Audit it across these 7 dimensions and give me specific, actionable feedback for each one:
1. IMPACT VERBS — Flag every bullet that starts with a weak or passive verb (responsible for, helped, worked on, assisted, supported, managed without outcome). Rewrite 3 of the worst offenders to show the corrected version.
2. METRICS & PROOF — Identify every bullet that makes a claim without quantifying it. For each, suggest the type of metric I should add (%, time saved, revenue, users, NPS, etc.) and show an example rewrite.
3. BURIED WINS — Based on the role and bullets I've written, identify which accomplishment appears most impressive and flag if it's not in the top 2 bullets of my most recent role. Tell me what to move and where.
4. SUMMARY STRENGTH — Read my summary section. Tell me: (a) is it specific to me, or could any PM have written it? (b) does it make one sharp claim about my unique value? Rewrite it to be sharper.
5. KEYWORD GAPS — Based on my seniority level and the types of roles I appear to be targeting, flag 5–8 keywords or phrases commonly expected in my profile that are missing or underrepresented. Include ATS-relevant terms.
6. STORY ORDER — Does my resume tell the story of what I did, or the story of why I'm the right hire? Identify 2 bullets that are currently process-focused and rewrite them to be outcome-led.
7. TITLE ALIGNMENT — Review my job titles. For any that might be ambiguous across companies (e.g., Lead PM, Group PM, Principal PM), suggest whether I should add a scope line (team size, org level, product surface) to remove ambiguity.
Format your response with a clear header for each dimension.
End with a Priority Action List: the 3 highest-leverage fixes I should make before sending this resume anywhere.
What You'll Get Back
Claude will return a structured audit, not generic advice, but specific feedback tied to your actual resume.
You'll see:
- Your exact weak bullets called out (with rewrites)
- The metrics you should have included
- Your win that's buried in the wrong place
- A sharper version of your summary
- The keywords ATS systems are scanning for
- A 3-item priority list so you know where to start
Start here: Before you run the full audit, do this one thing first. Copy your current summary section. Paste it into Claude and ask: "Could any PM have written this?" If the answer is yes — your summary is the first thing to fix.
Save this as a Claude Skill → use it every time you apply for a new role or update your resume.
The gap between how you see your resume and how a recruiter reads it — that's where opportunities disappear. This prompt closes the gap.
