How to tailor a resume to a job description

Updated 2026-10-30. General information, not a promise of a job.

Reorder, don't invent

Lift the bullets that match the posting's first responsibilities. Use their nouns when they describe the same work you did.

Do not add a tool you have only seen in a tutorial. Tailoring is selection, not fiction.

Use a planning tool or read a discussion.
