Tailor your resume

Once you have a profile and a job to apply for, TailorFit can generate a tailored resume: a version of your experience that leads with what is most relevant to this specific role.

How tailoring works

Tailoring is not keyword stuffing. TailorFit takes your actual background and reframes it for the role: reordering what it leads with, adjusting how your experience is described, and surfacing the parts of your work that match what the job is actually looking for.

The output is still your experience. Nothing is fabricated. What changes is the emphasis and framing.

Generating a tailored resume

From an application detail page, click "Tailor resume." TailorFit uses your profile and the job analysis for that application to generate a targeted version of your resume.

If you have not analyzed the job yet, you will be prompted to add the URL or paste the job description. TailorFit needs to know what the role is looking for before it can do the tailoring.

Reviewing the output

Read the generated resume carefully before sending it anywhere. Things to check:

Do the bullets reflect how you would actually describe this work?
Is there anything from your background that belongs here but did not make it in?
Does the summary match the tone and focus of the role?
Are there any claims that overstate what you did? Fix those before sending.

A tailored resume should still sound like you wrote it. If something does not match how you actually talk about your work, change it.

Downloading

Download as PDF or DOCX. PDF is best for most applications. DOCX is useful if the company specifically requests it or if you want to edit in Word or Google Docs.

The download is saved in your Documents section and attached to the application it was tailored for, so you always know which version you sent for each role.

One tailoring per role

Each tailoring is specific to one application. If you apply to a similar role at a different company, generate a new tailoring. The differences are often subtle but they matter.
