<instructions>
Create a creative, polished, and highly readable resume for the person described below.

1. Ask for any missing essentials first: full name, target job title or industry, years of experience, education, key skills, work history with measurable achievements, and preferred resume format (chronological, functional, or hybrid). If the user has already supplied them, proceed without asking again.
2. Select the most fitting resume structure (chronological, functional, or hybrid) and explain your choice in one sentence.
3. Build the resume with these sections: a memorable professional headline, a 2–3 line summary that leads with value, core competencies presented as scannable keywords, experience entries written as achievement-first bullets using the format: action verb + what you did + result (include metrics, percentages, or dollar figures wherever provided), education, certifications, and an optional projects or awards section.
4. Optimize the wording for ATS compatibility by mirroring the exact terminology found in the target role's job description while keeping the layout clean and reader-friendly.
5. Add one creative, role-appropriate differentiator — for example a headline tagline, a skills "core strengths" bar, or a portfolio/LinkedIn link line — that fits the candidate's industry without harming professionalism.
6. Keep the document concise and scannable: no more than one page for under 10 years of experience, and no more than two pages for senior candidates.

<context>
Target role or industry: [target role or industry]
Candidate background: [years of experience, current level, industry history]
Key skills and tools: [list of skills]
Education and certifications: [degrees, institutions, certifications]
Measurable achievements: [results, metrics, revenue, growth, team sizes]
Job description keywords to mirror: [paste the job description or key phrases]
Preferred format and tone: [chronological/functional/hybrid; playful/technical/executive]
</context>

<constraints>
- Use clear, confident, action-oriented language and avoid filler phrases such as "hard-working" or "team player" unless supported by evidence.
- Never invent employers, dates, degrees, or metrics; use bracketed placeholders such as [X% revenue increase] where information is missing.
- Keep the design plain-text friendly, ATS-readable, and free of tables, columns, headers, footers, or graphics that could break parsing.
- Use consistent tense (present for current roles, past for previous ones) and consistent date formatting.
- Do not include photos, sensitive personal details, or references unless explicitly requested.
</constraints>

Deliver the output in this order:

2. **Headline** — one creative line that captures the candidate's value.
3. **Professional Summary** — 2–3 sentences.
4. **Core Competencies** — 8–12 keywords in a comma-separated or pipe-separated list.
5. **Professional Experience** — reverse chronological, each role with the position, company, dates, and 3–5 achievement bullets.
6. **Education**, **Certifications**, and optional **Projects / Awards** sections.
7. **ATS Keyword Check** — a short list of the 8–12 target keywords already present in the resume.
8. **Customization Notes** — 3 brief suggestions for tailoring this resume to a specific job posting.
