Keyword Tailoring: What to Change vs. Keep

Don’t rewrite your resume from scratch. Tailor the 20% that matters.

Keywords 6 min

Keep (80%)

  • Your core accomplishments and metrics
  • Your best 2–3 “signature” projects
  • Your stable skills inventory

Tailor (20%)

  • Headline + summary (align to the role)
  • Skills order (move relevant skills up)
  • Top 2 experience bullets (rewrite in the job’s language)

This is exactly what our AI Scan is designed to output—so you can move fast without losing authenticity.
