The prompt

I’ve found a listing for a job I want and I’m not sure I qualify. First ask me to paste the listing. Then ask me to describe my experience in a few lines, or to paste my resume with private details removed. Make a table with one row for each requirement in the listing and three columns: what they’re asking for in plain words, what I have that matches, and a verdict of have, partly or missing. Don’t count a match unless I gave you evidence for it. Under the table, name the three gaps that matter most, the fastest honest way to close each, and how to talk about a gap I can’t close in time. Say which requirements look like a wish list.
