AI Resume Tailoring

One resume doesn't fit all jobs. Use AI to create tailored versions of your resume optimized for specific positions.

How It Works

  1. Select a resume - Choose the resume you want to tailor
  2. Click Tailor - Open the tailoring dialog
  3. Paste the job description - Add the full job posting (up to 10,000 characters)
  4. Add instructions (optional) - Include any specific guidance (up to 2,000 characters)
  5. Select experience level - Choose the appropriate level for the position
  6. Generate - AI creates a new tailored version

What Gets Tailored

The AI analyzes the job description and optimizes your resume by:

  • Keyword optimization - Adding relevant keywords from the job posting
  • Experience alignment - Highlighting experience that matches the role
  • Skills prioritization - Reordering skills to match requirements
  • Summary adjustment - Updating your summary to align with the position
  • Achievement emphasis - Highlighting achievements relevant to the job

Experience Levels

Choose the experience level that matches the job:

  • Entry Level - 0-2 years experience
  • Mid Level - 3-5 years experience
  • Senior Level - 6-10 years experience
  • Executive - 10+ years experience

Pro Tips

  • Use the full job description - The more context, the better the tailoring
  • Add specific instructions - Tell the AI what to emphasize or de-emphasize
  • Review the result - AI gives you a great starting point, but review and refine
  • Keep the original - Your original resume stays unchanged; tailoring creates a new version
  • Use tags - Tag tailored resumes with the company or job title for easy organization

Example Instructions

Emphasizing skills:

"Focus on my Python and data analysis experience. De-emphasize the front-end work."

Targeting a transition:

"I'm moving from engineering to product management. Highlight leadership and strategic thinking."

Adjusting tone:

"This is a startup. Make the tone more dynamic and results-focused."

After Tailoring

Your tailored resume:

  • Is saved as a new resume in your dashboard
  • Gets auto-tagged with experience level
  • Can be further edited in the resume builder
  • Can be used for AI chat editing
  • Is ready to export as PDF
