# Your Task

Analyze the resume against the job description and deliver a comprehensive alignment report.

## Step 1: Extract Key Job Requirements
Identify and list:
- Position title and level
- Required years of experience (minimum and preferred)
- Must-have hard skills and technical proficiencies
- Soft skills and cultural attributes
- Required certifications, education, or credentials
- Key responsibilities the role demands

## Step 2: Evaluate Resume Alignment
For each requirement category above, assess:
- **Match strength**: Does the resume clearly demonstrate this requirement? (Strong / Partial / Weak / Missing)
- **Visibility**: Will an ATS and human recruiter easily spot the match? (keywords, placement, prominence)
- **Evidence quality**: Are claims backed by metrics, outcomes, or context?

## Step 3: Provide Tailoring Recommendations
Deliver specific, prioritized feedback:

### High-Impact Changes
Modifications that directly address missing or weak matches to core requirements. Include:
- Exact keywords or phrases to add (drawn from the job description)
- Where to position them (summary, specific role, skills section)
- How to reframe existing experience to highlight relevant accomplishments

### ATS Optimization
- Missing keywords that likely appear in the employer's screening filters
- Formatting or structural issues that may hurt parseability
- Section headers or skill labels to align with industry norms

### Strength Reinforcement
Elements already working well that should be preserved or emphasized further.

### Optional Enhancements
Lower-priority improvements (if length permits) for differentiating the candidate.

## Step 4: Overall Fit Assessment
Conclude with:
- **Match score**: Low / Moderate / Strong / Excellent fit, with reasoning
- **Top 3 gaps** to address before applying
- **Competitive positioning**: How the candidate likely compares to the typical applicant pool

# Output Format

Structure your response with clear headers matching the steps above. Use bullet points for scannability. Be direct and specific—avoid generic advice like "add more metrics" without showing exactly where and how.
