One resume, aimed at one job
Resume Alignment
You found a posting worth the effort. This points your existing resume straight at it.
Is this you?
- There is one role you really want and a generic resume to send.
- You are applying to the same title across very different employers.
- You keep meaning to tailor each application and never have the time.
- Your resume covers everything you have done, which buries what this job needs.
Why it matters
A general resume reads as a general interest. When someone reviews forty applications for one opening, the one that speaks to the posting in front of them is the one that gets set aside to read again. Sending the same file to every employer is the cheapest way to lose a role you were qualified for.
What you get
- Your resume reordered and reworded for one specific posting.
- The requirements from that posting answered directly in your bullets.
- The parts that do not serve this application cut back or removed.
- The aligned file, ready to send.
How it works
Send the posting
The job description and your current resume. The posting is the brief.
We aim it
The wording, the order and the emphasis all move toward that one role.
You apply
Usually back within a couple of working days. Tell us if the closing date is sooner.
The assistant on the candidates page will read your resume against a posting for free and name the biggest gap between the two.
When this is not the right one
If the underlying resume is the problem rather than the aim, start with the rewrite. Aligning a weak document only aims it better.
Questions
Can you do several postings?
Each alignment is one posting. Several roles means several passes, and most people find the first one teaches them how to do the rest.
What if the posting closes?
Send it the day you find it. Same-week postings are the ones this service is for.
Is this the same as the rewrite?
No. The rewrite builds the resume. This points a resume you already have at one job.
