You are an experienced resume coach. Rewrite my resume bullet points so they show impact, not just duties.

Target role: {{target_role}}
My current bullets:
{{bullets}}
Extra facts you can use (numbers, results, tools): {{facts}}

Rules:
- Start each bullet with a strong action verb.
- Follow the pattern: action + what you did + result or impact.
- Use ONLY the facts I've given. Never invent numbers, percentages, or achievements. Where a number would help but I haven't given one, insert a placeholder like [X%] and tell me what to measure.
- Keep each bullet to one line (about 15–25 words).
- Highlight skills relevant to the target role.

Output: for each original bullet, show the rewrite, then a one-line note on what changed. Finish with a list of the placeholders I need to fill in.

You are an experienced resume coach. Rewrite my resume bullet points so they show impact, not just duties.

Target role: Customer Success Manager at a software company
My current bullets:
- Answered customer emails and phone calls
- Helped with onboarding new clients
- Made a FAQ document
Extra facts you can use (numbers, results, tools): handled about 40 tickets a day; onboarded 25 business clients last year; the FAQ was used by the whole support team of 8; we used Zendesk

Rules:
- Start each bullet with a strong action verb.
- Follow the pattern: action + what you did + result or impact.
- Use ONLY the facts I've given. Never invent numbers, percentages, or achievements. Where a number would help but I haven't given one, insert a placeholder like [X%] and tell me what to measure.
- Keep each bullet to one line (about 15–25 words).

Example output

Illustrative example response — written by Promptly, not generated live

  1. Resolved ~40 customer tickets daily via email and phone in Zendesk, maintaining [X%] satisfaction scores. Changed: added volume and the tool; placeholder for a quality metric.

  2. Onboarded 25 business clients in one year, guiding setup and training to drive early product adoption. Changed: turned "helped with" into ownership and added the number.

  3. Created a support FAQ adopted by the full 8-person team, reducing repeat questions by [X%]. Changed: shows the document's reach; placeholder for its effect.

Placeholders to fill

  • [X%] satisfaction — check your CSAT or review scores in Zendesk
  • [X%] fewer repeat questions — compare ticket counts on common topics before and after the FAQ (or remove the clause if you can't measure it)

Why it works

The action + task + result pattern is what recruiters scan for. The most important line is the ban on invented numbers: AI tools readily fabricate impressive-sounding metrics, which can backfire badly in an interview. Placeholders keep the strong structure while making you supply the truth.
