Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. You want AI to tailor your resume (the document that lists your work) to fit each job, without inventing anything. What should you give it?
Tailoring goes wrong when the AI has nothing true to work with, so it fills the gaps. A master resume fixes that. It's one long private document with everything you've done: every job, project and tool, and every number you can prove, with a note on where each number came from. You never send it.
Here's one entry. The sources are examples. Yours will be your own:
RetailCo, Customer Support Specialist, January 2022 to present
- Answered about 60 customer chats a day. Source: weekly chat report
- Wrote 12 billing help articles. Source: help center, my name on each
- Repeat billing questions went down after the articles. No exact figure
- Worked with the billing team to fix a confusing invoice email
Tools: Zendesk
With a master resume, tailoring becomes picking, not inventing. For each job, AI helps you choose which facts to show, put them in order, and swap in the job post's term where it truly matches your work. Then you check and send:
