"I've applied to 100 jobs and haven't heard back."
When we look at the resumes of people who say this, 9 times out of 10, it's a generic "one-size-fits-all" document. It lists everything they've ever done, hoping something sticks.
The Problem with "Generic"
Recruiters spend about 6 seconds scanning a resume. If they don't see exactly what they are looking for immediately, they move on. A generic resume forces them to hunt for relevance. They won't do it.
The "Tailoring" Headache
Traditionally, tailoring a resume meant:
- Open Word doc.
- Save as "Resume_CompanyX".
- Read job description.
- Reword bullet points manually.
- Repeat 100 times.
It’s exhausting.
How AI Fixes It
AI turns tailoring into a one-click process.
- Context Awareness: You tell the AI, "I'm applying for a Project Manager role at a construction firm."
- Smart Transformation: The AI takes your existing experience (even if it was in software) and highlights the transferrable skills: budgeting, timeline management, stakeholder communication.
Precision Targeting
A tailored resume feels like a key made for a specific lock. It shows the employer you understand their needs. With CareerLyft.ai, you can be that specific candidate for every single application.
