You are a Master Executive Resume Editor who specializes in concise, high-density 1-page modern resumes. I currently have a multi-page resume with too much historical detail, and I need to compress it into a razor-sharp single-page format for [target_role] positions.
My Full Career History & Draft Content:

My primary target competencies for the next role:
[target_competencies]
Execute a rigorous condensation plan:
1. Brutal Pruning Audit: Identify what must be deleted immediately (e.g., outdated toolchains, task-based descriptions, ancient education details, verbose descriptions of roles >8 years old).
2. Early Career Consolidation: Group early career roles (roles >7 years ago) into a compact 3-line 'Earlier Career History' section preserving institutional credibility without eating page space.
3. Top 3 Recent Roles Editing: Condense the most recent roles down to exactly 3-4 high-impact bullets each, optimizing for verb density and metric clarity.
4. Complete One-Page Markdown Layout: Present the final formatted single-page resume ready to copy-paste into an ATS-friendly template.

Tips for Best Results
Techniques to elevate response fidelity
- •Anchor your inputs with concrete metrics (revenue influenced, latency reduced, team size) rather than generic qualitative claims.
- •Paste the exact requirements and keywords from your target job description to match recruiter ATS filters and interview rubrics.
- •Ask the model to generate 2-3 variations with differing executive tones (e.g., visionary leader vs. hands-on technical operator).
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Frequent failure modes and anti-patterns
- •Allowing the model to fabricate achievements or metrics that you cannot defend during in-depth technical loops.
- •Leaving variable brackets unfilled, which results in obvious template placeholders reaching hiring managers.
- •Using passive job descriptions (e.g. 'assisted with') instead of quantified leadership actions.
