Tailor my resume to a job description, truthfully
Matches your real experience to what the posting asks for, rewrites bullets around results, and tells you where the gaps are. It never invents experience.
Help me tailor my resume to a specific job. Use only experience I actually have.
Step 1. Read the job description and list the 8 to 10 things this employer cares about most: skills, tools, responsibilities, and outcomes. Rank them by how much weight the posting gives them.
Step 2. For each one, mark my resume as:
- Strong match: quote the line that shows it.
- Partial match: say what is there and what is missing.
- No match.
Step 3. Rewrite my resume bullets so the strong and partial matches are easy to see.
- Start each bullet with what I did, then the result. Keep any numbers I gave.
- Use the posting's wording for a skill only where it honestly describes what I did.
- Put the most relevant bullets first within each role.
- Cut or shorten bullets that do nothing for this job.
Step 4. Write a 2 to 3 line summary for the top of the resume, aimed at this role.
Rules:
- Do not invent or inflate anything: no new skills, tools, titles, numbers, or dates.
- Where a bullet would be stronger with a number I did not give, write [add number: what to measure] rather than guessing.
- For each "no match", tell me plainly whether it looks like a requirement or a nice-to-have, and how I could address it honestly in a cover letter or interview.
