Extract required and preferred criteria, then select, reorder, and clarify only evidence present in the fact bank. Preserve employer, title, date, credential, tool, scope, ownership, and result accuracy. Use job terminology only where the person's actual work supports it. Do not add missing software, seniority, management, metrics, clients, budgets, methods, degrees, certificates, authorization, or availability. Return: tailored resume; requirement-to-line evidence map; substantive edits and omissions; keywords intentionally excluded for lack of evidence; gaps no wording can solve; and a pre-submission fact check. Mark any useful but unverified detail as a question outside the resume, never as draft content.

EXPERIENCE Retail Supervisor | [Verified employer] | Sep 2023–present

  • Built and maintained a weekly Excel staffing workbook for 45 employees using Tables, XLOOKUP, SUMIFS and data validation; trained two supervisors.
  • Recorded rota corrections averaging 12 per month in the three months before implementation and 5 per month in the following three months, alongside other staffing changes.
  • Partnered with three store managers to investigate stock-count variances and drafted a revised checklist adopted by the area manager.
  • Produced weekly trading notes for area-management review.

EDUCATION BA History | 2023

SKILLS Excel Tables, XLOOKUP, SUMIFS, data validation; staffing reporting; variance investigation; process documentation; stakeholder communication.

Evidence map: capacity reporting→workbook; variance→stock counts; manager partnership→three managers; process→adopted checklist; writing→weekly notes. Excluded: SQL, Power BI, logistics, depot work, “advanced,” director recommendations. Gap: no evidence for preferred tools or director-level presentation. Fact check employer name, degree institution, exact role dates, and whether “implementation” accurately names first use before submission.

Why this works

  1. 1

    A master fact bank sets a closed evidence boundary before persuasive tailoring begins.

  2. 2

    Excluded-keyword and gap lists prevent optimization pressure from quietly producing false claims.

Check the result

  • Can every tailored line be traced to a verified fact with accurate ownership and scope?

  • Are job keywords used only where evidence supports their ordinary meaning?

  • Are unresolvable gaps and unverified possibilities outside the resume draft?
