Overview

This skill generates resumes tailored to specific job descriptions to increase interview invitations. It transforms a candidate’s background into ATS-friendly, role-focused resumes with clear summaries, prioritized skills, and quantified achievements. The goal is a concise, targeted document that matches employer requirements and passes automated screening.

How this skill works

The skill analyzes the target job description to extract must-have qualifications, desired skills, and bonus attributes. It maps the candidate’s experience to those priorities, restructures the summary and experience bullets for relevance, and injects exact keywords for ATS compatibility. Finally, it formats the resume with standard headings, readable fonts, and clear bullet points for recruiter review.

  • Optimizing a resume for ATS screening and keyword matching
  • Customizing CVs for industry changes or career transitions
  • Preparing multiple versions for different roles or seniority levels
  • Updating resumes for technical roles with tool and methodology emphasis

Best practices

  • Start by extracting P1 (must-have), P2 (important), and P3 (bonus) items from the job description
  • Write a 3–4 line professional summary that lists years of experience, top 3–4 required skills, and a clear value proposition
  • Use action-verb + task + method + result structure for experience bullets and quantify outcomes where possible
  • List technical tools and keywords exactly as they appear in the job posting; include acronyms and full terms
  • Use standard headings, avoid tables/graphics, and keep layout ATS-friendly (one or two pages depending on experience)

Example use cases

  • Convert a generic resume into a product manager resume tailored to a specific job posting
  • Create a hybrid resume for a career changer emphasizing transferable skills and relevant projects
