AI tools like ChatGPT have made resume writing less intimidating. With the right prompts, you can draft, refine, and polish your resume faster than ever before. But here’s the catch: while ChatGPT is powerful, it wasn’t designed specifically for resumes. That’s where tools like Yotru, built for job seekers, quietly step in and take things further.
Below, we’ll walk through five ways you can use ChatGPT to improve your resume and highlight where Yotru gives you a subtle but important advantage.
With ChatGPT:
You can ask ChatGPT to turn a job description into action-oriented bullet points. For example:
“Write 5 resume bullets for a marketing coordinator role, focusing on campaign management and analytics.”
Where Yotru Helps More:
ChatGPT will give you general bullet points, but Yotru knows how recruiters actually filter resumes. It automatically tailors your bullets with the right keywords for Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
One Yotru user, Sara, noticed this difference when she switched from ChatGPT’s version of “Managed multiple projects at once” to Yotru’s sharper version: “Coordinated 12 cross-functional projects, cutting delivery time by 15% while meeting all compliance standards.” That keyword alignment helped her land interviews she had previously been missing.
With ChatGPT:
You can prompt ChatGPT to suggest an outline:
“What sections should I include in a software engineer resume?” It will recommend headers like Experience, Education, Skills.
Where Yotru Helps More:
Instead of just suggesting an outline, Yotru provides ready-to-use templates designed to pass ATS and look good to hiring managers.
David, a junior developer, tried building a resume structure from ChatGPT’s suggestions and ended up spending hours adjusting fonts and spacing. With Yotru, he chose a template, entered his info, and was finished in less than 10 minutes.

With ChatGPT:
A strong prompt is:
“Rewrite my resume summary for this specific job description.”
This gets you closer to alignment with the employer’s needs.
Where Yotru Helps More:
Yotru goes a step further. Paste in a job posting, and it automatically highlights missing skills and keywords. Priya, a marketing analyst, had ChatGPT rewrite her summary for a digital strategy role but it still skipped key terms like “SEO optimization.” Yotru flagged the gaps instantly, boosting her match score from 60% to 85% and helping her land recruiter outreach within a week.
With ChatGPT:
You can try a simple prompt to improve your resume summary:
“Make my resume summary more results-driven and concise.”
ChatGPT will polish your sentences, but results vary depending on how well you phrase the prompt.
Where Yotru Helps More:
Yotru’s AI was trained specifically on resume data, so it produces summaries that balance ATS readability with recruiter appeal without endless prompt tweaking. Marcus, an operations manager, saw the difference when Yotru reframed his summary into: “Operations leader with 8+ years of experience driving logistics efficiency, cutting supply chain costs by 22%, and leading teams of 40+.” For him, it was the first time his summary truly reflected both his results and his leadership style.

With ChatGPT:
You can paste your resume in and ask:
“Check for grammar, clarity, and professional tone.”
It works, but you’ll need to manually copy, paste, and edit back and forth.
Where Yotru Helps More:
Yotru handles this automatically, built into the workflow. Anna, a recent graduate, had ChatGPT clean up her resume but it missed small tense inconsistencies. Yotru caught them all, polished the formatting, and gave her a version that read like it had been reviewed by both Grammarly and a career coach at the same time.
ChatGPT is an excellent brainstorming partner for resume writing. With smart prompts, you can generate ideas, polish phrasing, and even adapt to different jobs.
But if you want a tool designed only for resumes with ATS optimization, templates, and built-in tailoring, Yotru gives you a real advantage.
