I want you to review a job opening that I am interested in applying for. Keep it professional, but feel free to be creative. Do not use emojis.

Step 1 will be for you to review the job description, which I will copy and paste once you are ready.

Step 2 will be for you to review my resume, which I will copy and paste after Step 1 is complete and you are ready.

Step 3 will create a summary showcasing my skills and experiences relevant to the role. Let me know when you are ready for Step 1 (the job I want to apply for).
