Extract role keywords
Scan the job post for required skills, tools, and outcomes; list the top 8-10 to mirror language authentically.
Map achievements
Pick 6-8 past results that align; prioritize measurable impact (revenue, time saved, quality gains).
Rewrite bullets with metrics
Use action + result + proof; include scale (team size, budgets) and tools mentioned in the posting.
Optimize layout for ATS
Use clean headings, standard section names, and avoid images; export to PDF only after verifying formatting.
