Ghosted by Government: When the Algorithm Decides Who Serves

Hi - If you are here from LinkedIn, thanks for clicking the link. Let’s get right into it.

How to Use Script

1. Copy and Paste the Prompt below into your LLM (i.e. copy and paste “**System” to “no graphics”) then hit enter.
   The AI should then ask you for some info:

2. Copy Your Résumé Text
   Select the text of your résumé (plain text or bullet list).

3. Paste Job Posting Details
   Copy the job ad or description from APSJobs, BuyICT, or any federal posting and paste it into the prompt.

4. Choose Your Output Mode

   • ATS-Optimised: Balanced for humans and machines.

   • ATS-Heavy: Keyword-dense, mirrors job posting language.

   • Keyword Block: Pure keyword stack for maximum ATS parsing.

5. Run the Prompt
   Submit your résumé and job posting into the script. The tool will generate your ATS-ready versions.

6. Copy or Download Your Versions
   Copy the generated text or save it to a document for submission.

7. Let Me Know how you went! I’d love to help further, especially if it’s not quite right, let’s tweak it - and if it worked well for you, please let me know!
