We're in the Resume-Bot Era, and Tailoring Is the Only Move
If a bot reads your resume first, a generic one never reaches a human. Tailor or vanish.
Applicant tracking systems filter before a person sees your file. A generic resume dies at the gate.
Tools like Teal and Kickresume exist to bend your bullets to each posting's language, and they work.
The skill isn't writing a perfect resume. It's writing one per job without burning an hour each.
I keep a master resume and let the tool map it to the posting. The human still edits the result.
In a bot-filtered world, relevance beats eloquence. Optimize for the scanner, then the person.
