# Definition

Resume tailoring is the practice of adapting a resume to a specific job — adjusting the summary, highlighted achievements, and keywords so they align with that role's requirements — instead of submitting one generic resume to every opening.

# Why it matters

Tailored resumes match more of a job description's requirements and keywords, which both satisfies ATS screening and signals relevance to recruiters. AI makes tailoring practical at scale, so candidates can personalise every application without rewriting from scratch each time.
