• Request ATS optimization: Ask "Add ATS-friendly keywords for [job title]" for better screening
• For metrics: Provide numbers (e.g., "Reduced cart abandonment by 30%") so AI can use them in impact statements
• Save resume template: Reuse the structure for future updates by asking "Use the same format but update with [new experience]"
