How to Fix My Resume with AI in Seconds

Every job seeker knows the frustration: you stare at your resume and something feels off, but you cannot pinpoint what to change. The bullet points are technically accurate, yet they fail to impress. If you have ever searched for a way to fix my resume, the problem is almost always the same — your experience is written as a list of responsibilities instead of a showcase of achievements.

WunderType's Resume Fixer custom prompt tackles this head-on. Select your weak resume text in any macOS app, press ⌥⇧F, and get a polished, achievement-driven version back in place. No copying into a browser, no switching windows, no prompt engineering required.

Why You Need to Fix My Resume Text Before Applying

Hiring managers spend an average of seven seconds scanning each resume. In that narrow window, passive language and vague descriptions are invisible. Phrases like "was responsible for" and "helped with" tell a recruiter nothing about your impact. Achievement-focused writing, on the other hand, quantifies results and starts with strong action verbs — exactly what applicant tracking systems and human reviewers reward.

The difference between a weak and a strong resume bullet often comes down to three shifts:

• Passive to active voice. Replace "was responsible for managing" with "led" or "directed."
• Duties to outcomes. Instead of listing what you did, state what changed because of it.
• Vague to specific. Add numbers, percentages, or concrete deliverables wherever possible.

Resume Fixer Before and After

To see these principles in action, look at a real transformation using WunderType's Resume Fixer prompt.

Before

Was responsible for managing a team of developers and helping with the development of new features for the company's main product. Also did some work on testing.

This bullet buries the candidate's impact. "Was responsible for" is passive. "Helping with" and "some work on" are vague qualifiers that signal a lack of ownership. A recruiter reading this learns almost nothing about what the candidate actually accomplished.

After

Led a team of developers to ship key features for the company's flagship product. Revamped the testing process, reducing bug count by 40%.

The revised version opens with a strong action verb ("Led"), specifies the outcome ("ship key features"), and adds a measurable result ("reducing bug count by 40%"). Every word earns its place, and the bullet now tells a story of leadership and tangible impact.

Setting Up the Resume Fixer Prompt

Creating the prompt takes under a minute:

1. Open WunderType from the menu bar and navigate to Custom Prompts.
2. Create a new prompt named Resume Fixer.
3. Paste your instruction: tell the AI to rewrite the selected resume text using strong action verbs, replace passive voice with active voice, convert responsibility descriptions into achievement statements with measurable outcomes, and keep the result concise.
4. Assign the shortcut ⌥⇧F.
5. Select any resume bullet in any app — Pages, Google Docs, a plain text editor — press the shortcut, and review the result.

Because WunderType supports both OpenAI and local Ollama models, you can run everything on-device if you prefer not to send personal career details to an external API. This is especially valuable for resume work, where the text contains employment history, company names, and performance metrics.

How Resume Fixer Differs from Writing Bullets from Scratch

Building a resume bullet from a blank page is a different task than fixing one that already exists. Starting from scratch means brainstorming accomplishments and structuring them into the right format. Fixing an existing bullet, by contrast, means identifying what is already there — the role, the task, the context — and reshaping it into stronger language. Resume Fixer is purpose-built for the second scenario: you already have the content, and you need it to hit harder.

This distinction matters because the AI instruction is tuned differently. A from-scratch prompt needs to interview you about your experience. A fixer prompt takes your existing words as raw material and transforms them, preserving your facts while upgrading the framing.

Beyond Individual Bullets

Resume Fixer works equally well on summary sections, cover letter paragraphs, and LinkedIn profile blurbs. Any professional text that suffers from passive voice or vague language is a candidate for the same transformation. Select, press ⌥⇧F, and review.
