What you need
Steps
Open Claude and start a new chat. Type your contact line first: full name, email, phone number, city and LinkedIn URL, separated by vertical bars.
Add each job on its own line with the job title, company name, and start and end dates. Under each one, paste two or three rough bullet points about what you did.
List your technical and soft skills separated by commas, then add your degree, university and graduation year, plus any certifications and projects with a one-line description each.
Paste the prompt asking Claude to expand the bullet points, write a professional summary, keep it ATS friendly, use clean bold formatting and balanced spacing, and fill a full Letter size page.
Read the draft and ask for changes in plain language, for example shorten the summary to three lines or reword a bullet to lead with an action verb.
Ask Claude to remove tables, columns, icons and graphics, since those can break parsing in applicant tracking software.
Copy the text into your word processor. Set margins between 0.5 and 1 inch, body text at 10 to 12 point, and headings bold and slightly larger.
Save as a PDF named with your full name, open the file and check that nothing runs onto a second page or gets cut off.
Proofread every line out loud. Cut anything Claude invented that you cannot back up in an interview.
Tips and common mistakes
Give Claude real numbers where you have them, like team size or percentage saved, because vague bullets get skipped.
Never let the model guess your dates or job titles; wrong facts on a resume are worse than plain wording.
Keep the resume to one page if you have under about five years of experience.
Save the plain text version too, since some application forms ask you to paste it in.
Questions
Can I make a resume with the free version of Claude?
Yes. The prompt is short and the free tier handles it. You may hit a message limit if you ask for many rewrites in one session, so start a fresh chat if that happens.
Will an AI-written resume pass ATS screening?
It can, because the scanner reads plain text, not the writing style. Keep one column, standard headings like Experience and Education, no images, and save as a text-based PDF rather than a scan.
Should I tell employers I used AI?
You do not have to disclose the tool, but every claim on the page must be true and yours. Treat the output as a first draft you rewrite in your own words.
