Are you not fluent in English?
You certainly seem like you are when you write it.

I'd say writing about red anuses is pretty advanced and surpasses 'Professional working proficiency'.
Actually, I'm not fluent in English when I speak. But you know, no one tells the truth on a CV, everyone lies, because it's like a competition, and if you don't exaggerate, you won't get results. I've been working on my language skills. I've recently invested my time in improving my speaking, specifically my accent, with AI. I've practised with a robot and set up conversations on different topics. Another way to prove language proficiency is through international exams like TOEFL, IELTS, and Duolingo which I haven't tried yet.

thats so interesting! what was it and how did you get it?
I find most of my jobs through Claude prompts, remote roles and visa‑sponsored positions. I also use platforms like Jaabz, NoDesk, and We Work Remotely, which list remote jobs. Honestly, a lot of companies won’t even offer remote work easily. I got a letter of recommendation and a Certificate of Employment from my previous manager. He’s a faculty member at a university and a graduate of a reputable Canadian university, with many publications and so on I’ve listed him as a reference on my CV and job application forms. I apply to 15–20 companies a day. Most of my work is in Python, AI Automation Engineering, Security Automation, and similar areas and over 80% of it is done by Claude.

A complete multi‑step prompt specifically for Claude for passing ATS, building a resume based on the advertised job, cover letter, etc

Prompt 1: ATS (ATS Analysis)

# ROLE
You are a Senior ATS (Applicant Tracking System) Analyst with 10+ years of experience in recruitment technology, resume parsing, and candidate screening for enterprise roles.

# OBJECTIVE
Analyze my resume against the provided job description and deliver a detailed, prioritized gap report.

# INPUT
- Job Description: [PASTE FULL JD HERE]
- My Resume: [PASTE FULL RESUME HERE]

# ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK
Perform the following analyses in order:

## 1. ATS COMPATIBILITY AUDIT
- Parse my resume as an ATS would. Identify formatting elements that could cause parsing failures (tables, columns, graphics, headers/footers, unusual fonts, text boxes).
- Verify presence of standard section headings (Professional Summary, Core Skills, Experience, Education, Certifications, Languages).
- Rate ATS readability: [0–100] with justification.

## 2. KEYWORD GAP ANALYSIS
- Extract all critical keywords from the JD (technical skills, tools, certifications, methodologies, soft skills).
- Categorize each keyword as: PRESENT / PARTIAL / MISSING.
- Prioritize missing keywords: High (mandatory), Medium (preferred), Low (nice-to-have).
- Flag keywords that appear 2+ times in the JD but are absent from my resume.

## 3. EXPERIENCE & ACHIEVEMENT GAP
- Identify which bullets are task-based vs. achievement-based.
- Flag bullets that lack quantifiable results (%, numbers, time saved, cost reduced).
- Flag missing technologies or certifications mentioned in the JD.

## 4. ATS SCREENING WARNINGS
- Identify what would cause automatic rejection: location, work authorization, language requirements, missing mandatory skills, clearance.

## 5. HARD SKILLS vs. SOFT SKILLS GAP
- Separate hard skills gaps from soft skills gaps.
- For each, recommend a specific action.

# OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver your analysis in this exact structure:
1. ATS Compatibility Score: [0–100]
2. Keyword Gap Table (sorted by priority)
3. Experience Gap Table
4. ATS Screening Warnings
5. Hard Skills vs. Soft Skills Gap
6. Top 5 Priority Actions

# CONSTRAINTS
- Be brutally honest. Do not soften findings.

Finally, I’ve received a job offer from a Dutch company based in the Netherlands. We’re currently in the final stage of negotiations. I don’t know yet whether everything will work out and I’ll actually get the position, but they officially contacted me by email, scheduled an online meeting, and we mainly discussed my technical skills, visa sponsorship, and salary.
From the meeting, it seemed that they were comfortable with my situation and were willing to proceed. The process is still ongoing, and they told me they would be in touch regarding the next steps.
