How do I tailor my resume to a job?
Read the job description and pull out its required skills, tools, and the exact job title. Then make sure those appear naturally in your summary, skills, and experience bullets — reordering so your most relevant achievements come first. You're not rewriting your history, you're surfacing the parts that match this specific role.
Tailoring is the single biggest lever on both your ATS score and recruiter interest. A generic resume can't rank well against every posting; a targeted one signals obvious fit.
Practical workflow: paste the job description and your resume into a checker to see the missing keywords, add the ones you have, then tighten your top bullets to echo the posting's priorities.
